“…Our adoption of this measure was guided by an objective for measurement efficiency and for minimizing translation efforts in this large, multi-lab, multi-country project. 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).…”

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.

“…Graded response model analysis under the item response theory showed that items adequately discriminate among individuals in these latent traits ( Garcia et al., 2018 ; Savard et al., 2017 ; Webster and Jonason, 2013 ). However, to the best to our knowledge only four studies reported the measurement invariance of the DTDD between male and female ( Chiorri et al., 2017 ; Klimstra et al., 2014 ; Pechorro et al., 2019 ; Rogoza et al., 2020 ).

Psychometric analyses of the Bangla version of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen

Three undesirable social traits (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) collectively known as the'Dark Triad' have gained huge empirical attention during the past decades. The Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD) is a brief and psychometrically sound tool for assessing dark traits. In the present study, the psychometric properties of the DTDD-Bangla were assessed (n ¼ 371) as there no information about its psychometric adequacy in the Bangladesh context. The item analysis results demonstrated that the DTDD-Bangla had good item discrimination indices in both CTT and IRT. The confirmatory factor analysis results supported the three factors first-order model in terms of model fits and items' factor loadings over the bi-factor model. Scale level analyses revealed that this scale and its subscales had good internal consistency reliabilities and composite reliability. The MGCFA supported scalar invariance between males and females. Overall, the DTDD-Bangla seems psychometrically sound measure to assess the dark traits and can be used in further researches in the Bangladesh context.

SummaryThere is an inherent interest in the implications of psychopathic employees, although attention, to date, is more pronounced in public media than in the scientific literature. In this study, we use behavioral threshold theory to propose a curvilinear relationship between employees' psychopathy and their counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Our predictions were corroborated across three studies involving two countries while controlling for narcissism and Machiavellianism. Specifically, we find that the destructive nature of psychopathy is amplified with accelerated levels of CWB among individuals high on psychopathy. These results address mixed and unexpected findings in the literature, thereby offering a more nuanced understanding of the psychopathy–CWB relationship. Drawing additionally on trait activation theory, we examine the moderating effects of social context as manifested in relationship conflict with coworkers and abusive supervision. Results support the moderated hypotheses such that the psychopathy–CWB curvilinear relationship is stronger in negative social environments for both self‐rated and other‐rated CWB assessments. As the relationships between individuals' dark traits and behavioral outcomes are likely more complex than simple linear relations, we advocate future research to combine complementary theoretical lenses for improved theoretical precision.
