“…Specifically, the low-Dark Triad and the narcissistic subgroups included more females, whereas the Machiavellian/narcissistic, psychopathic, and Machiavellian/psychopathic groups were predominantly male clusters. This is in line with previous findings, which showed higher scores in all Dark Triad traits in males compared to females [23,32,38], resulting in a high proportion of men in the high-Dark Triad groups. Furthermore, even when men have proven to be more narcissistic than women [50], in the current study this did not lead to a "merely or predominantly male" narcissistic profile, but to different profiles combining Dark Triad traits.…”

The relationship between Dark Triad traits and risky behaviours has been shown in recent years. However, few studies have attempted to disentangle this relationship using a person-centred approach. The goal of the current study was to identify subgroups of individuals on the basis of their scores on Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism and analyse the differences between them in a set of risky behaviours (i.e., frequency of substance use, reactive and proactive aggression, risk perception and risk engagement, and problematic internet use). The sample consisted of 317 undergraduates aged 18–34 (46% males). The results of the latent profile analysis showed five subgroups of individuals that were identified based on their scores on the Dark Triad traits: low-Dark Triad, narcissistic, Machiavellian/narcissistic, psychopathic, and Machiavellian/psychopathic. Overall, the Machiavellian/narcissistic and Machiavellian/psychopathic subgroups showed higher scores for most risky behaviours. The low-Dark Triad scored higher for risk perception. No significant differences between subgroups were found as regards frequency of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use. These findings suggest that the combination of the Dark Triad traits lead to more negative outcomes as regards risky behaviour than individual components. Moreover, they highlight the relevance of using a person-centred approach in the study of dark personalities.

“…Third, the BFI-2 has shown adequate psychometric properties in different adaptations: German [41] or Russian [46]. In the case of dark personality, other measures of this construct have been previously validated into Spanish without any problem [47]. In any case, all our data are fully available for further research about the psychometric properties of those instruments (https://osf.io/wjuh6/).…”

The development of new technologies, the expansion of the Internet, and the emergence of dating apps (e.g., Tinder, Grindr) in recent years have changed the way to meet and approach potential romantic and/or sexual partners. The recent phenomenon has led to some gaps in the literature on individual differences (sociodemographic variables and personality traits) between users (previous and current users) and non-users of dating apps. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between using dating apps, sociodemographics (gender, age, sexual orientation, and relationship status), and bright and dark personality traits. Participants were 1705 university students (70% women, 30% men), aged between 18 and 26 (M = 20.60, SD = 2.09), who completed several online questionnaires. Through multinomial logistic regression analyses, it was found that men, older youth, and members of sexual minorities were more likely to be current and previous dating apps users. Being single and higher scores in open-mindedness were associated with higher probability to be current dating apps user. The dark personality showed no predictive ability. The discussion highlights the usefulness of knowing and considering the sociodemographic background and the characteristics of personality patterns in the design and implementation of preventive and promotion programs of healthy romantic and sexual relationships to improve people’s better health and well-being.

“…Para evaluar la complejidad y multidimensionalidad del constructo DT es importante contar con instrumentos válidos y precisos (Jonason y Webster, 2010;Pineda, Sandín, y Muris, 2018). Sin embargo, una problemática acumulativa en evaluación de comportamientos desadaptativos es la extensión de instrumentos que evalúan individualmente los componentes de la DT como son la escala de autoreporte de psicopatía de Levenson (LSRP), escala de inteligencia Maquiavélica (MACH-IV), inventario de personalidad narcisista (NPI), entre otros.…”

“…Las propiedades psicométricas de la DDDT han sido estudiadas en diversos contextos (Dinić, Petrović, y Jonason, 2018;Garcia et al, 2018;Kayiş, Yılmaz, Satıcı, y Çapan, 2018). En Latinoamerica solo han sido estudiadas estas propiedades psicométricas en Brasil (Medeiros, Monteiro, Gouveia, Nascimento, y Gouveia, 2017) y en idioma español solo evidencia un estudio (Pineda et al, 2018). Esto indicaría que la mayoría de estas investigaciones poseen propiedades psicométricas aceptables para ser utilizadas en la investigación científica.…”

“…Esto indicaría que la mayoría de estas investigaciones poseen propiedades psicométricas aceptables para ser utilizadas en la investigación científica. Además, la solidez de la estructura interna de tres factores ha sido replicada en diferentes contextos (Jonason y Webster, 2010;Jonason, Kaufman, Webster, y Geher, 2013;Pineda et al, 2018;Tamura, Oshio, Tanaka, Masui, y Jonason, 2015). Sin embargo, algunos estudios sustentan la existencia de solo dos componentes (Dark Dyad: Maquiavelismo y Psicopatía), dejando fuera al narcisismo, considerándolo menos problemático que los otros dos componentes, en específico por la naturaleza poco cooperativa tanto del maquiavelismo como la psicopatía a diferencia del narcisismo que se asociaría con comportamientos de autodirección (Kowalski, Vernon, y Schermer, 2016).…”

Instability on the dark side? Factorial structure, measurement invariance and reliability of the Dirty Dozen Dark Triad in the general population of Lima. The dark triad of the personality is a complex measure composed of three traits such as Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism that are associated with destructive behaviors to the interests of others. The Dirty Dozen Dark Triad (DDDT) scale was used to evaluate the dark triad. The present study seeks to analyze the internal structure, measurement invariance and reliability of DDDT scores. 320 people were recruited (64.1% women), the average age was 24.4 and 89.7% were single. Four measurement models were identified by means of confirmatory factor analysis; the measurement invariance was also evaluated, which did not show a significant deterioration for the group according to gender. In addition, congeneric and tau-equivalent models were implemented and the accuracy of the scores for all the factors was > .70. This DDDT version provides useful evidence at the psychometric level to be implemented with a screening instrument in the psychological evaluation.Keywords: Dirty Dozen Dark Triad; validation; measurement invariance; personality.Resumen: Las triada oscura de la personalidad es una medida compleja compuesta de tres rasgos como maquiavelismo, psicopatía y narcisismo que están asociados a comportamientos destructivos a los intereses de los demás.

El presente estudio busco analizar la estructura interna, invarianza de medida y la fiabilidad de las puntuaciones de la DDDT. Fueron reclutados 320 personas (64.1% mujeres), el promedio de edad fue 24.4 y el 89.7% fueron solteros. Se identificados cuatro modelos de medida mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, también fue evaluada la invariancia de medida que no evidencio un deterioro significativo para el grupo según género. Además, fueron implementados modelos congenéricos y tau-equivalentes y la precisión de las puntuaciones para todos los factores fue >.70. Esta versión DDDT reporta evidencias útiles a nivel psicométrico para ser implementadas como instrumento de despistaje en la evaluación psicológica.
