“…Psychopathy (primarily factor 1) was associated with reduced concern about harm and fairness. Regarding gender, females indicated much more concern about the harm foundation, which supports previous studies . Preventing harm may be more central to females' moral systems than males'.…”

“…The lack of a significant interaction may be similar to findings from a recent study. Jonason et al 12 found that men scored higher than women on the commission of sins of various types, but that dark personality traits (psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism) accounted for much of the relationship between participant's sex and individual differences in sin. They suggest that participant's sex is less central to understanding individual differences in sin than personality.…”

“…First, studies suggest there are gender differences in endorsement of the moral foundations. Females view preventing harm to others, fairness and purity as more important in their moral systems than males, 8,12 and males view in-group loyalty and authority as slightly more important than females. 8 Second, females consistently score higher on measures of self-reported empathy, 13 which was found to mediate the relationship between psychopathy and the harm and fairness foundations.…”

Previous research has demonstrated that individuals higher in psychopathy are less concerned about preventing harm and preserving fairness than individuals lower in psychopathy, yet it is unclear whether this is true for both genders. Females have been shown to be more concerned about moral issues related to preventing harm, being fair and maintaining purity, and males are more concerned about in-group loyalty and respecting authority. In addition, females on average are more empathic, less willing to cause harm and may be less sensitive to fairness. The goal of this study was to examine gender's influence on the relationship between psychopathy and five moral foundations. In a large online sample, we found that although gender moderated the relationship between psychopathy and harm and fairness, the magnitude of these interactions was small. The main effects of gender and of psychopathy support previous research. Overall, females were more concerned than males about preventing harm. Both males and females scoring higher in psychopathy were less concerned about harm and fairness than those lower in psychopathy. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…This is thought to occur through, and, or in combination with, other personality factors such as social dominance and right-wing authoritarianism (Hodson & Dhont, 2015;Jonason, 2015b). Overall, it is clear these traits have broad implications for social and moral transgressions (Jonason, Strosser, Kroll, Duineveld, & Baruffi, 2015;Jonason, Zeigler-Hill, & Okan, 2017). And last, these traits play meaningful roles in the workplace by influencing vocational interests (Jonason, Wee, Li, & Jackson, 2014), job satisfaction (Jonason, Wee, & Li, 2015), cutting corners at work (Jonason & O'Connor, 2017), yearly earnings (Jonason et al, 2018), and counterproductive workplace behaviour (Spain, Harms, & LeBreton, 2014).…”

In this review, we detail three personality traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) that have gained popularity in the last decade as the 'Dark Triad'. These traits are useful to augment research on personality, like the Big Five traits, as they capture individual differences in 'darker' aspects of personality more fully. We briefly review the body of work surrounding these traits, how they are measured, how they can be understood through the exploration of their nomological network, and the role each trait plays in various domains like organisational psychology and interpersonal relationships. We then detail how an evolutionary paradigm can provide a novel and powerful way of understanding these traits. Finally, we explore broadspectrum concerns about the research and thoughts on how one might think about these issues.

Аннотация. В статье представлены результаты апробации опросника «Тёмная дюжина» на двух выборках азербайджанских студентов, обучающихся и тестирующихся на русском и на азербайджанском языках. Как для конфигурационной, так и для метрической конгру-энтностей факторных структур были получены приемлемые индексы соответствия для трёх студенческих выборок -российской и двух азербайджанских. Выявленные различия по высоте измеренных макиавеллизма и психопатии позволили сделать вывод о личност-ной специфике студентов в зависимости от языка обучения, что отражает и культурные особенности азербайджанских выборок.Ключевые слова: кросс-культурная инвариантность, опросник «Тёмная дюжина» (Dirty Dozen), Тёмная триада, макиавеллизм, психопатия, нарциссизм.
