Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness, including straightforwardness of conduct, along with the absence of lying, cheating, theft, etc. Furthermore, honesty means being trustworthy, loyal, fair, and sincere. Honesty is valued in many ethnic and religious cultures.〔Rogers, Carl R. (1964.) "Toward a modern approach to values: The valuing process in the mature person.", ''The Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology'', 68(2):160-7.〕〔Dahlsgaard, Katherine; Peterson, Christopher; Seligman, Martin E. P. (2005.) "Shared Virtue: The Convergence of Valued Human Strengths Across Culture and History", ''Review of General Psychology'', 9(3):203-13.〕〔Hilbig, Benjamin E.; Zettler, Ingo. (2009.) "Pillars of cooperation: Honesty–Humility, social value orientations, and economic behavior", ''Journal of Research in Personality'', 43(3):516-9.〕〔Van Lange, Paul A. M.; Kuhlman, D. Michael. (1994.) "Social value orientations and impressions of partner's honesty and intelligence: A test of the might versus morality effect", ''Journal of Personality and Social Psychology'', 67(1):126-141.〕〔Schluter, Dolph; Price, Trevor. (1993.) "Honesty, Perception and Population Divergence in Sexually Selected Traits", ''Proceedings of the Royal Society B'', 253(1336):117-22.〕 "Honesty is the best policy" is a proverb of Benjamin Franklin; however, the quote "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom" is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, as used in a letter to Nathaniel Macon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Thomas Jefferson Papers Series 1. General Correspondence. 1651-1827 )〕 Others have noted, however, that "()oo much honesty might be seen as undisciplined openness".〔Barbara MacKinnon, Andrew Fiala, ''Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues, Concise Edition'' (2015), p. 93.〕 For example, individuals may be perceived as being "too honest" if they honestly express negative opinions of others, either without having been asked their opinion, or having been asked in a circumstance where the response would be trivial. ==See also== *Integrity *Lie *Parrhesia *Sincerity *Truth *Creativity *Trust 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「honesty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
