Abstrakt: Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the specific links that the Dark Triad traits have with subjective and psychological well-being through a meta-analysis of the existing literature.
Background: Over the past few years, associations between the Dark Triad traits and well-being have been a stimulating but understudied topic in personality research.
Method: Cross-sectional, correlational studies examining these relationships were searched in the PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. Meta-analyses were performed at the dimension- and facet-level to account for the multidimensional structure of the Dark Triad traits.
Results: A total of 55 studies were included (n = 26,252). In general, grandiose narcissism and boldness/dominance related to higher well-being, while vulnerable narcissism, antagonism, disinhibition, and Machiavellianism related to lower levels of well-being. Age and gender moderated few of these associations.
Conclusions: We recommend including multidimensional measures of the Dark Triad traits as an essential step to move the field forward.
