Sažetak
The HEXACO model accommodates important constructs that are beyond the space of classical Five Factor and Big Five models, including different forms of prosociality and altruism. Namely, in the HEXACO model, general prosocial versus antagonistic orientation is located between Honesty-Humility, Agreeableness and Emotionality factors, and each of these traits is linked to different form of prosocial behavior, which covers a broad range of actions that are intended to benefit others rather than oneself (such as cooperating, sharing, giving, helping, and comforting others). Apart from investigating the direct relations between personality traits and specific forms of prosociality, it is interesting to do it also indirectly, for example, by assessing the relations of personality traits and career preferences. Therefore, the aim of this report is to investigate relations between HEXACO traits and prosociality as well as some preferences for social careers in two independent studies. The first study aimed at investigating relations between HEXACO traits and prosociality on 680 college students. The data was collected on-line, using HEXACO-60 and Prosocial Personality Battery. Results of hierarchical analyses confirmed that Honesty-Humility, Agreeableness and Emotionality were most strongly related to prosociality as well as specific forms of it, reflecting theoretically meaningful relations. The second study explored the relations between HEXACO traits and social career preferences on a sample of 981 students at the end of their high school education. HEXACO-60, Personal Globe Inventory-Short and Values Scale-Short were administered on-line. It was observed that altruistic work values and interests in helping occupations can be best predicted by Emotionality and Honesty-Humility traits. On the other hand, values and interests that belong to more general social domain were best predicted by Emotionality and Extraversion. Taken together, the findings of this report provide additional insights in relations of HEXACO traits and prosociality, emphasizing the importance of HEXACO traits in explaining prosocial and helping behavior.
