“…However, these behaviours may also result in less empathetic behaviours related to seeking quick and cruel revenge as a way of repairing the perceived harm of unforgiveness and resentment caused in these individuals. 83,84 The second objective of the study was to identify the items with the highest predictability (r 2 ) in the overall SD3 network. These elements stood out for being the most predicted by other items due to their strong connections with them.…”

Background: Previous research has suggested that manipulation and callousness are central to Dark Triad traits, but it has not identified which specific manifestations are expressed across various countries.Objective: This study aimed to identify the core and overlapping manifestations of Dark Triad traits across 10 countries. Methods: We used the Short Dark Triad (SD3) scale and assessed a sample of 8093 participants (59.7% women, M(age) = 32.68 years). For graphical representation, the spinglass algorithm was applied to understand the cluster distribution among Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and subclinical narcissism traits. Centrality indices were used to identify the most influential items, and the clique-percolation algorithm was employed to detect shared attributes among multiple Dark Triad items. Results: Straightforward SD3-21 items demonstrated better interpretability as aversive traits within the broader system. Items with higher centrality values were those related to short-term verbal manipulation from the psychopathy domain, clever manipulation, strategic revenge-seeking from Machiavellianism, and narcissistic motivations for connecting with significant individuals. The most predicted items were linked to planned revenge, using information against others from Machiavellianism, short-term psychopathic verbal manipulation, and narcissistic belief of specialness based on external validation. Items like short-term verbal manipulation had overlaps with both psychopathy and narcissism clusters, while clever manipulation overlapped with Machiavellianism and psychopathy. Conclusion:This cross-cultural study highlights the central role of verbal manipulation within the Dark Triad traits, along with identifying overlapping items among traits measured using straightforward SD3 scale items. In line with our findings, future research that incorporates a wide range of cultural contexts is encouraged to establish the consistency of these findings with the SD3 Scale or alternative measures.

“…Indeed, people who plan revenge against others are probably more likely to realize these motivations through the use of information to damage the reputation of others. However, these behaviours may also result in less empathetic behaviours related to seeking quick and cruel revenge as a way of repairing the perceived harm of unforgiveness and resentment caused in these individuals (Flores-Camacho et al, 2022;Jackson et al, 2019).…”

Previous research has suggested that manipulation and callousness are central to dark traits, but it has not identified which specific manifestations are expressed across various countries. In the present study, we analyzed a general network structure and the most relevant items (centrality indices) of interconnection of dark triad traits in 10 countries. For this purpose, we used a scale widely used in different contexts such as the Short dark triad (SD3). The total sample consisted of 8093 participants (59.7% women, M(age) = 32.68 years). Regarding the graphical representation with the spinglass algorithm in the general network, we observed a structure distributed in clusters of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and subclinical narcissism traits. Firstly, the items related to short-term verbal manipulation from the domain of psychopathy, along with clever manipulation and strategic revenge?seeking items from the Machiavellianism cluster, and narcissistic motivations to establish connections with important people, exhibited higher centrality indexes (expected and bridge-expected influence). Secondly, the most predicted items were characterized by planned revenge and using information against others from the Machiavellianism cluster, short-term psychopathic verbal manipulation, and the narcissistic belief of being special based on external validation. Finally, we utilized the clique-percolation algorithm to identify shared central characteristics among multiple dark triad traits. Through this analysis, the item of short-term verbal manipulation was found to simultaneously belong to the psychopathy and narcissism clusters. Additionally, the clever manipulation item exhibited an overlap with Machiavellianism and psychopathy traits. This cross-cultural study mainly reveals the central role of manipulation and also a set of strategic and self-serving approaches toward others within a system of dark traits of the SD3 scale. The importance of exploring these traits in less considered contexts is emphasized in order to verify whether these findings remain consistent

“…While empirical research has examined gender differences in intergroup violence justification (Conejero et al, 2014;Flores-Camacho et al, 2022), little research has noted this difference among Israeli-Arab group members (minority group) in the context the protracted Jewish-Arab conflict. Due the importance of violence justification and perceived threat in shaping violent oriented attitudes, it is important to explore these correlations among Israeli-Arab group members in Israel.…”

The aim of this exploratory study was to assess the level of justification of intergroup violence from the perspective of Israeli Arab minority group (n=196). The study analyzed the link between threat perception and justification of intergroup violence in Israel, which presents a suitable setting due to ongoing conflict between Arabs and Jews. Results indicate that symbolic threat is more salient among Israeli Arab participants compared to realistic threat. The study also found that females tended to perceive violence committed by Arabs against Israeli Jews as more justified than males suggesting that women are more prone to frustration due to intersectionality, leading to violence. In addition, a strong correlation between a person's support of the idea that frustration led to intergroup violence and their justification of such violence was found, supporting some of the frustration-aggression hypothesis. Results emphasize the need to emphasize understanding intergroup conflicts in international relations.
