“…We provided the first systematic and wide‐scale examination of cross‐cultural variance in the Dark Triad traits. Narcissistic countries (if there is such a thing; Johnson, 2020) appear to be less advanced, consistent with the scarcity hypothesis, and sex differences in narcissism appear larger in more advanced places, mostly as a function of a diminishing return on being narcissistic provided for women in these modern places. Although sex differences in Machiavellianism rates were insensitive to country‐level factors, there were hints that more advanced places were more Machiavellian, a finding that supports a liberalization hypothesis.…”

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.

“…Essa exposição pode ser tratada para alcançar notoriedade, para suprir algo faltante, seja algo real ou que se projeta (deseja-se, fantasia-se) existir (Laplanche & Pontalis, 1996). O narcisismo tem recebido considerável atenção dos pesquisadores como uma variável de diferença individual (Johnson, 2020).…”

“…Following the method adopted by L. K. Johnson (2020) in using MLM to examine the predictive roles of two-level factors, five steps were used to answer the research questions in this study. First, a null model (Model 1 in Tables S3-S8) was developed to calculate the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), an index of the proportion of between-province variation in the six dimensions of SWB.…”

Introduction: Previous studies have examined family socioeconomic status (SES) and regional-level factors that predict adolescents' present subjective wellbeing (SWB). However, as adolescents' SWB tends to be future-oriented, this study examined the relationships between family SES and provincial-level economic, educational, and health-related factors and adolescents' present-and future-oriented SWB. Methods: The sample includes 17,341 12-to 17-year-old adolescents (M age = 13.86; SD age = 0.79; 9056 girls and 8285 boys) from 31 different provinces of China. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze the data at two levels. Results: The findings showed that family SES (Level-1) was positively correlated with present life satisfaction (LS-P), present positive affect (PPA), hopeful future expectations (HFE), and positive affect toward future life (FPA), but negatively correlated with present negative affect (PNA) and negative affect toward future life (FNA). Provincial-level (Level-2) years of education per capita, average life expectancy, and human development index (HDI) were positively associated with LS-P, PPA, FPA, and HFE, and negatively associated with PNA; only average life expectancy was negatively associated with FNA. There was no association between gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and SWB. Simple slope analyses demonstrated that, in provinces with relatively less or short years of education per capita, GDP per capita, average life expectancy, or HDI, the correlations between family SES and present-and future-oriented negative affect were stronger. Conclusions: The present-and future-oriented SWB of adolescents from families with low SES in underdeveloped areas was relatively poor. More psychologically focused education activities are needed for these adolescents.
