Authenticity is defined as being true to yourself, but does being true to yourself always mean being truthful? The apparent similarity between authenticity and honesty has obscured directly scrutinizing possible tension between the two constructs. In the current paper, we review recent research which reveals their orthogonality, highlighting how honesty can decrease authenticity and dishonesty can increase authenticity. In addition, we delineate between honesty with the self and self-rated authenticity, as well as honesty with others and perceived authenticity. Finally, we propose the importance of coherence and morality which describe when honesty will serve (or harm) authenticity both intra- and interpersonally, illuminating avenues for future research.

真实性被定义为对自己真实，但对自己真实是否总是意味着真实？真实性和诚实之间明显的相似性掩盖了直接审查这两种结构之间可能存在的紧张关系。在当前的论文中，我们回顾了最近的研究，这些研究揭示了它们的正交性，强调诚实如何降低真实性，而不诚实如何增加真实性。此外，我们在对自我的诚实和自我评价的真实性以及对他人的诚实和感知的真实性之间进行了划分。最后，我们提出了连贯性和道德性的重要性，这描述了诚实何时会在内部和人际之间服务（或损害）真实性，为未来的研究指明道路。
