Previous research consistently showed a negative link between Honesty-Humility (HH) and dishonest behavior. However, most prior research neglected the influence of situational factors and their potential interaction with HH. In two incentivized experiments (N = 322, N = 552), we thus tested whether the (subjective) utility of incentives moderates the HH-dishonesty link. Replicating prior evidence, HH showed a consistent negative link to dishonesty. However, the utility of incentives did not moderate this association, neither when manipulated through incentive size (BF₀₁ = 5.7) nor when manipulated through gain versus loss framing (BF₀₁ = 20.4). These results demonstrate the robustness of the HH-dishonesty link.

先前的研究始终显示，诚实与谦卑（HH）与不诚实行为之间存在负相关关系。但是，大多数先前的研究都忽略了情境因素的影响及其与HH的潜在相互作用。在两个激励性实验（N  = 322，N  = 552）中，我们因此测试了激励的（主观）效用是否缓和了HH-不诚实的联系。复制以前的证据，HH显示出与不诚实行为的一致负面联系。但是，无论是通过激励规模（BF ₀₁  = 5.7）还是通过收益与损失框架（BF ₀₁）进行操纵，激励的效用都不能缓解这种联系。 = 20.4）。这些结果证明了HH-不诚实链接的鲁棒性。
