“…In related research, drawing on these data, we found satisfactory levels of measurement invariance, allowing us to make reliable cross‐cultural comparisons (Rogoza et al, 2020), and our isomorphism tests support this conclusion. The Dirty Dozen measure of narcissism, for example, may capture better vulnerable than grandiose narcissism, but the current results are consistent with work using other measures of narcissism (Jonason et al., 2019; Schmitt, Alcalay, et al., 2017). Above measurement concerns, there are doubts about whether Machiavellianism is redundant to psychopathy (Miller, Hyatt, Maples‐Keller, Carter, & Lynam, 2017; see also: Vize, Collison, Miller, & Lynam, 2018; Vize, Lynam, Collison, & Miller, 2018).…”

“…These results converge on the scarcity hypothesis and align with predictions from evolutionary psychology. Narcissism is likely an adaptation to enable people to compete for limited resources in competitive environments (Jonason et al., 2019).…”

“…Narcissism, as an agentic trait (Gebauer & Sedikides, 2018), would enable people to compete over these scarce resources. That is, in "scarce" environments, being narcissistic may be adaptive, because it allows people to prioritize their own needs for facilitating their survival and reproductive goals (Jonason, Okan, & Özsoy, 2019). In this case, external, country-level factors may necessitate an adaptive response in the form of a shortened personal timeline, limited investment in others, and general agentic behavior.…”

Objectives: The Dark Triad traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) capture individual differences in aversive personality to complement work on other taxonomies, such as the Big Five traits. However, the literature on the Dark Triad traits relies mostly on samples from English-speaking (i.e., Westernized) countries. We broadened the scope of this literature by sampling from a wider array of countries. Method: We drew on data from 49 countries (N = 11,723; 65.8% female; Age Mean = 21.53) to examine how an extensive net of country-level variables in economic status (e.g., Human Development Index), social relations (e.g., gender equality), political orientations (e.g., democracy), and cultural values (e.g., embeddedness) relate to country-level rates of the Dark Triad traits, as well as variance in the magnitude of sex differences in them.

“…Future studies should test the associations found here with different, more representative samples. Importantly, it would be useful to conduct comparative work given any effects reported in one sample are situated in one cultural context which may influence the development of dark personality traits (Jonason et al, 2019), and may be applicable to other countries and cultures.…”

Dark personality traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, spitefulness, and sadism) are associated with adverse childhood experiences and deviant online behaviors. However, their mediating role between childhood emotional abuse and cyberbullying has never previously been investigated. We examined direct and indirect associations of childhood emotional abuse and cyberbullying via dark personality traits among 772 participants. Men were better characterized by dark personality traits and were more likely to engage in cyberbullying than women, and there were no sex differences in childhood emotional abuse. Collectively, dark traits fully mediated the relationship between childhood emotional abuse and cyberbullying in men, with partial mediation in the total sample and women. More specifically, Machiavellianism and spitefulness were mediators in both samples, sadism was a mediator in men and the total sample, and psychopathy was a mediator in the total sample and women. The dark personality traits can account for the association between childhood emotional abuse and cyberbullying, especially among men.

“…Second, this research examined determinants of CWB and OCB in a traditional Arab setting and culture. Most literature investigating these behaviors has concentrated on Western cultures; few studies have examined this issue in non-Western cultures such as China (Liu & Cohen, 2018), Philippines (Robertson, Datu, Brawley, Pury, & Mateo, 2016) and Turkey (Jonason, Okan, & Özsoy, 2019). Examining these relationships within a traditional collectivist culture is important to evaluate whether explanations for CWB and OCB are similar to those in more individualistic Western cultures (Minkov, 2011).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationships between personal (emotional intelligence, Dark Triad (DT), core self-evaluation and burnout) and situational variables (organizational justice) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) (supervisor report) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) (self-report). Design/methodology/approach In total, 680 questionnaires were distributed to teachers in 20 Arab elementary schools in Northern Israel. Usable questionnaires were returned by 509 teachers (75%). The questionnaires covered emotional intelligence, DT, core self-evaluation, organizational justice, burnout, CWB and demographic characteristics. Their principals filled out questionnaires on the teachers’ in-role performance and OCB. Findings Results showed that CWB was mostly related to higher levels of psychopathy, lower levels of emotional intelligence (ability to use emotions) and higher levels of burnout (emotional exhaustion). OCB was related to higher levels of procedural justice, lower levels of burnout and higher levels of emotional intelligence. Practical implications Organizations should consider ways to reduce burnout, which may reduce CWB and increase perceptions of justice, thereby promoting OCB. Originality/value Two novel aspects are noteworthy. First, this study simultaneously examines both CWB and OCB to clarify the similarities and differences between them. Second, few studies have examined the correlates of CWB and OCB in Arab culture.
