Abstract
Goals are fundamental elements of honesty. We developed a questionnaire assessing goals
related to honesty and dishonesty. In a preregistered study (N=400), we collected self- and peer-
report data on goals and personality traits, and a behavioral assessment of honesty. Self- and
peer-reported goals predicted honest behavior beyond traits.
