The irony is that a personality disposition normally seen as antisocial — disagreeableness — may actually be linked to pro-social behavior, writes Psychology Todays Kenneth Worthy.

Popularity, in the end, may be more a sign of social graces and perhaps a desire to fit in than any kind of moral superiority.
