Women who exhibit a high level of morbid curiosity are more likely to be attracted to men with Dark Triad personality traits, particularly in short-term mating contexts, according to new research published in Personality and Individual Differences. The study provides new insights into how individual differences in curiosity about dangerous phenomena can influence young women’s dating choices. The Dark Triad is a psychological concept that refers to a group of three personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, entitlement, and a ...

A recent pilot study published in Current Issues in Personality Psychology has found connections between dark personality traits and the desire for loud cars. The findings indicate that young men scoring high in traits such as psychopathy and everyday sadism were more likely to express a desire for loud vehicles, including willingness to modify their cars to enhance the noise. These findings provide a new lens through which to understand the motivations behind certain illegal vehicle modifications. The study was motivated by a gap in existing research on the subject and personal observations o...

A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology has found that people can accurately infer certain personality traits, known as the “dark triad,” from the faces of women but not men. The dark triad includes Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. Intriguingly, men who possess these traits themselves are better at recognizing them in other men, whereas women with these traits are less accurate in detecting them in men. The “dark triad” refers to a trio of malevolent personality traits: Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulative be...

A study of German car drivers found that 61% of them admit to using smartphone while driving at least occasionally. Individuals with a stronger fear of missing out, problematic smartphone use, and Dark Triad personality traits were more likely to use their smartphones while driving. The research was published in PLOS ONE. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for 2019 show that 3,142 people were killed in the U.S. alone in accidents involving distracted drivers. Of these deaths, 422 occurred in crashes where at least one driver was distracted by a phone. Drivers involved...

A recent publication in the Journal of Family Violence reveals that individuals with certain “dark” personality traits are more likely to accept the use of gaslighting tactics in intimate relationships. The study also found gender differences, with men generally more accepting of these tactics, a trend significantly influenced by primary psychopathy and vulnerable narcissism. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where one person sows seeds of doubt in a victim, making them question their own memory, perception, or sanity. The term originates from the 1938 play “Gas Light” where ...

Research published in PLOS One has pinpointed a significant link between dark personality traits — such as sadism and psychopathy — and the tendency to engage in online trolling, a form of negative online interaction known for disrupting and provoking internet users. Surprisingly, however, the study found that experiencing social exclusion does not significantly increase one’s motivation to troll. The internet has evolved into a vast place for social interaction — where anonymity can bring out the worst in people. Trolling, or the act of deliberately upsetting or provoking others online, has b...

New research sheds light on the relationship between “Dark Tetrad” personality traits and how individuals perceive and react to various emotional stimuli. The paper was published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. The study, conducted in Croatia, discovered that individuals with high levels of narcissism and low levels of sadism tend to assign more positive ratings to images designed to evoke positive emotions. In contrast, those with high levels of sadism gave more positive ratings to images meant to elicit negative emotions, albeit at a slower pace. Participants exhibiting high level...

A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that individuals high in everyday sadism blame victims due to sadistic pleasure and reduced empathy. Further, these individuals showed reduced cognitive engagement in processing victim-related information. The world is frequently marked by the suffering of others, from war victims to individuals facing bullying or sexual assault. Often, when we hear about such injustices, whether directly from someone we know or through media, we’re moved to feel empathy, compassion, or sympathy for the victims. However, alongsi...
