    Abstract: 
    The present paper aims at recognizing the position of righteousness and courtesy in personality and religion, and the relationship between these two virtues and subjective well-being. A sample including 450 university students who were selected through available method participated in this research. "HEXACO-60 personality inventory ", "self-evaluation scale of spirituality", scale of interest in religion", "single-item scales of religious orientation", "scale of subjective happiness, "and" scale of life satisfaction" were used to gather data. The research findings supported six-trait structure of HEXACO-60 personality inventory. Righteousness-courtesy as an independent factor was along with five traits of personality. This new trait had a positive relationship with religiousness and subjective well-being. The review of religious texts and experimental data showed that righteousness is of greater importance than courtesy for religiousness and well-being. According to this research, HEXACO inventory is a valid scale and righteousness-courtesy is an independent personality trait which has a positive role in well-being.

    Abstract: 
    پژوهش حاضر با هدف شناخت جایگاه صداقت و فروتنی در شخصیت و دین، و رابطه‌ی این دو فضیلت با بهزیستی فاعلی انجام شد. نمونه ای متشکل از 450 دانشجو ـ که با روشِ در دسترس، نمونه گیری شدند ـ در این پژوهش شرکت کردند. برای جمع آوری داده ها «پرسش نامه‌ی شخصیت هگزاکو-60»، «مقیاس خودارزیابی معنویت»، «علاقه به دین»، «مقیاس های تک گویه ای جهت گیری دینی»، «مقیاس شادی فاعلی»، و «مقیاس رضایت از زندگی عمومی» به کار رفتند. نتایج، ساختار شش عاملی پرسش نامه‌ی شخصیت هگزاکو را تأیید کرد. صداقت ـ فروتنی به عنوان عاملی مستقل در کنار پنج عامل شخصیت قرار داشت. این عامل جدید، با دین داری و بهزیستی فاعلی رابطه‌ی مثبت داشت. داده های تجربی، در کنار مرور متون دینی، نشان داد صداقت (در مقایسه با فروتنی) اهمیت بیشتری برای دین داری و بهزیستی دارد. بر اساس این پژوهش، پرسش نامه‌ی شخصیت هگزاکو، مقیاسی معتبر است و صداقت ـ فروتنی، عامل شخصیتی مستقلی است که نقش مثبتی در بهزیستی دارد.
