“…SD3 has been found to possess satisfactory internal consistency (Jones & Paulhus, 2014) along with convergent and discriminant validity (Pechorro et al, 2019). It has been translated into several languages and is used effectively across cultures (Gamache, Savard, & Maheux-Caron, 2017;Salessi & Omar, 2018;Malesza et al, 2019). Moreover, there are various parallel versions of SD3 (Atari & Chegeni, 2016;Ӧzsoy, Rauthmann, Jonason, & Ardıç, 2017;Pechorro et al, 2019), which have been developed to suit specific populations.…”

BackgroundThe conceptualization of negative personality has evolved over the last few decades but the scientific assessment of negative traits is still at a nascent stage. The present study aimed to test the construct and external validity of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) scale, one of the most widely used scales to measure the dark triad, by conducting three independent studies.Participants and procedureExploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on 379 participants and confirmatory bifactor analysis was carried out on a sample of 414 participants. Additionally, an independent sample of 168 participants was used to test the external validity of SD3.ResultsIn study 1, after the triarchic model was disconfirmed by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), an EFA was run on the original 27-item scale, which produced a two-factor model consisting of a dark dyad and narcissism. This was followed by a confirmatory bifactor analysis in study 2, which revealed that while Machiavellianism and psychopathy are better measured as manifestations of a general negative disposition, narcissism emerges as a distinct trait which is not significantly captured by the dark core of personality. Moreover, study 3 revealed that dark dyad is a better correlate and predictor of negative traits as com-pared to narcissism.ConclusionsIn keeping with these findings, we propose that narcissism should be measured holistically with equal emphasis on all its con-stituents and facets and that the intrinsic dimensionality of these traits must be captured while scoring. Implications and future directions are duly discussed.

“…We did not use a measure of socially desirable responding to control for possible biases in responses and this is another limitation in our research. However, evidence shows that psychopathy is negatively associated with social desirability, suggesting that individuals who score high in psychopathy may not value social acceptance [61]. Other research results [62] show that individuals high in Machiavellianism and Psychopathy are more unconcerned with social desirability.…”

This research examines the relationship between dark triad and the use that some parents make of their children in order to attack the other parent after a couple break-up. We examined whether parents who are willing to lie about issues concerning the other parent and their children during a couple break-up process show higher levels of dark triad traits. Across two different samples of divorced participants (N = 1085 and N = 249), we measured dark triad traits and willingness to engage in judicial manipulation. The objective of this study was to build a judicial manipulation scale to measure willingness to lie and use children to harm the other parent that could be used in professional practice. Results show significant correlations for judicial manipulation and dark triad traits and confirm the psychometric properties of reliability and validity of a proposed scale. We found that dark triad traits are adequate indicators of judicial manipulation. We discuss the importance of the scale to help the judicial system to determine which parent is the most appropriate to be designated as the legal custodial parent.

“…Besides callous and manipulative represents are the core of all three dark personalities (Jones & Figuerdo, 2013). The other testimony is the results of Russian and French SDT scale adaptation that scale's items assess some characteristics shared by the three Dark triad constructs (Egorova et al, 2015;Gamache et al, 2018).…”
