The HEXACO personality factors of Agreeableness-versus-Anger (A) and Honesty-Humility (H) are interpreted as two complementary aspects of reciprocal altruistic tendency. Here we consider several ways of representing the positive associations between the defining traits of A and of H, through common factor analysis of self-report HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised (HEXACO-PI-R) facet scale scores (N ≈ 111,000). We describe orthogonal solutions that differ in the extent to which H facets show secondary loadings on A (and vice versa), as well as an oblique solution compatible with a higher-order "cooperativeness" factor. We discuss the psychological plausibility of these solutions, and we review research showing differential associations of several phenomena or outcomes with A and H. We conclude that the optimal representation of A/H trait associations is not yet known but that the value of separate A and H factor scales is well established.
宜人性-愤怒（A）和诚实-谦逊（H）的 HEXACO 人格因素被解释为互惠利他倾向的两个互补方面。在这里，我们通过对自我报告的 HEXACO 人格量表修订版（HEXACO-PI-R）方面量表分数（N≈111000）的共同因素分析，考虑了几种表示 A 和 H 的定义特征之间正相关的方法。我们描述了正交解，这些解在 H 方面在多大程度上显示对 A 的次要负荷（反之亦然），以及与更高阶“合作性”因素一致的斜交解。我们讨论了这些解决方案的心理合理性，并回顾了表明与 A 和 H 相关的几种现象或结果的研究。我们得出的结论是，A/H 特征关联的最佳表示形式尚不清楚，但 A 和 H 因子量表的价值是明确的。
