dc.description.abstractThe current study strives to validate the use of the overclaiming technique as a method of identifying individuals who would fake on a selection assessment in a workplace setting. In order to do so, there would need to be a negative relationship between Honesty-Humility and overclaiming. This is done by manipulating the situation to mirror a workplace selection context for both a student sample and an online MTurk sample by using Valence, Instrumentality, and Expectancy from Vroom’s expectancy theory. It is proposed that in these high-stakes situations, individuals low in Honesty-Humility may be more motivated to overclaim. This was not found to be the case, as Honesty-Humility and overclaiming remain unrelated. The use of the overclaiming technique as a selection tool is discussed, and the relationship between overclaiming and Openness to Experience is further explored.en_US
