The good, the bad, and the ugly: Revisiting the Dark Core

Bojana M. Dinic et al.

Summary: This research aimed to explore several strong candidates for the Dark Core of dark and light traits by using network analysis and shared variance analysis. The results revealed that primary psychopathy, callousness, pathological selfishness, Machiavellianism, and narcissistic rivalry were central elements in this network. Additionally, Antagonism shared the highest percentage with the dark traits, especially its facet callousness, which is considered the best candidate for the Dark Core. The combination of callousness, deceitfulness, and grandiosity shared the majority of the common variance with dark traits and could be seen as the Antagonistic Triad or an alternative Dark Triad.

Actors of the most fiendish character: Explaining the associations between the Dark Tetrad and conspiracist ideation

Cameron S. Kay

Summary: The study found that at least one facet of each Dark Tetrad trait was associated with conspiracist ideation, with nearly every association partially attributed to aversive personalities tendencies towards odd beliefs, fatalism, and distrust of others. These results suggest that the inclination towards conspiracist ideation among individuals high in the Dark Tetrad traits is due to shared features of the traits rather than unique features of each individual trait.
