This study examines the congruency between the recently introduced (D) and Antagonism (A; low Agreeableness) from the Five-Factor Model of personality. Using two samples (s of 365 and 600), we examined simple zero-order correlations between D and A (s of .69 and .64). In addition, we used a range of relevant external criteria (e.g., antisocial behavior, aggression, domains and facets of personality, [] personality disorders [PDs], impulsivity, and political skill) to examine the degree of absolute similarity in the relations that D and A bear to these criteria. These similarity coefficients were then compared with the similarities produced by measures of constructs different from D and A but similar among themselves (i.e., psychopathy and narcissism in both samples, plus depression in Sample 1). The degree of similarity between D and A (rICCs = .96 and .93) is consistent with what is observed between other measures of the same construct. We conclude that D and A yield largely identical empirical correlates and thus likely represents an instance of the jangle fallacy. We believe that future efforts would be better spent furthering the literature around the well-established Agreeableness versus Antagonism construct.
本研究考察了新近引入的人格五因素模型中的（D）和拮抗（A；低宜人性）之间的一致性。使用两个样本（n = 365 和 600），我们检验了 D 和 A 之间的简单零阶相关（r =.69 和.64）。此外，我们还使用了一系列相关的外部标准（例如，反社会行为、攻击行为、人格的领域和方面、[]人格障碍[PD]、冲动和政治技能），以检验 D 和 A 与这些标准之间关系的绝对相似程度。然后，将这些相似性系数与来自与 D 和 A 不同但彼此相似的结构的测量的相似性进行比较（即两个样本中的精神变态和自恋，以及样本 1 中的抑郁）。D 和 A 之间的相似程度（rICC =.96 和.93）与同一结构的其他测量值所观察到的相似程度一致。我们得出结论，D 和 A 产生了大致相同的经验相关性，因此可能代表了一种“杂乱谬误”的实例。我们认为，未来的工作最好用于进一步发展已确立的宜人性与拮抗之间的文献。
