Conditional honesty is a behavior pattern where a person acts honestly primarily due to the fear of being caught or facing consequences. Unlike integrity, which is internal and moral-based, conditional honesty is external and consequence-based. It is considered a product of reasoning and is a key concept in evaluating personnel risk in security-sensitive roles.
