A recent study in Spain explored the associations between personality traits based on Eysenck’s theory of personality and the Dark Triad traits. The results indicated that narcissism and Machiavellianism are linked with neuroticism and extraversion, while psychopathy is associated with psychoticism. These associations suggest that individuals with higher Dark Triad traits did not fully conceal them when responding to the survey. The study was published in Current Issues in Personality Psychology. In the 1940s, Hans Jürgen Eysenck, a German-born British psychologist, proposed a theory describin...

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.

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 ...
