The purpose of this paper is to review recent research about the possibility that some people are more honest than others and about the causes of them being so. We tackle four big questions about the consistency of honest behavior, the content and breadth of trait honesty, the mechanisms underlying trait honesty, and the measurement of trait honesty. Recent research reveals we are only at the beginning states of answering these questions about honesty. Invigorated research is needed to firmly resolve whether individuals differ in honesty and if so, integrate the determining mechanisms and develop strong measurements.

 诚实作为一种品质

本文的目的是回顾最近关于某些人比其他人更诚实的可能性及其原因的研究。我们解决诚实行为的一致性、特质诚实的内容和广度、特质诚实背后的机制以及特质诚实的衡量四个大问题。最近的研究表明，我们才刚刚开始回答这些有关诚实的问题。需要进行积极的研究来坚决解决个体在诚实方面是否存在差异的问题，如果存在差异，则整合确定机制并制定强有力的衡量标准。
