The human personality has long preoccupied researchers keen to understand the perplexing complexity of the human psyche. Personality has been studied from a multitude of aspects and approaches, each with support from their field’s literature. An enduring construct of personality is authenticity. Recent scholarship has turned to emotions as the drivers of motivation and trait behavior. The purpose of this study is to examine if value judgment explains emotional, motivational and behavioral drivers of authentic personality. The Hartman Value Profile was tested with the Authenticity Scale to test what relationships exist and if value judgment predicts authentic personalities. Results indicate support for the HVP as a pliable psychometric with untapped capacity for enduring research potential.References
