AbstractThe present study determined high and low Machiavellians ranking of the value Honesty on Rokeach's Value Survey. Secondly, the study investigated how these rankings are affected by the subject's participation in a dishonest act. Eight groups of ten subjects were tested in a 2x2x2 factorial design employing two levels of Machiavellianism, two levels of justification for cheating, and cheating, non-cheating groups. In initial ranking of the value Honesty, high Machiavellians appear to place a lesser importance on the value of Honesty when compared to low Machiavellians. Secondly, justification and cheating behavior interact to affect the subject's ranking of the value Honesty.
