摘要
This paper investigates the impact of the HEXACO model of personality structure in predicting political ideology and voting. Five-hundred and seventeen participants provided responses for measures of the HEXACO and the Five Factor Models, ideological orientation, and past voting. Results showed that Conscientiousness was linked to voting for right-wing parties, whereas Honesty-Humility. Agreeableness and Openness were related to voting for left-wing parties. Ideological orientation mediated the relationship between personality traits and voting. Hierarchical tests indicated that the HEXACO outperformed the Five Factor Model in predicting ideological orientation. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
