Milieu effects on the Dark Triad traits and their sex differences in 49 countries
Jonason, P. K.; Czerwiński, S. K.; Tobaldo, F.; Ramos-Diaz, J.; Adamovic, M.; Adams, B. G.; Ardi, A.; Baltatescu, S.; Cha, Y. S.; Chobthamkit, P.Most research on the development of personality traits like the Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) focuses on local effects like parenting style or attachment, but people live in a larger society that may set the stage for any local effects. Here we paired nation-level data on the traits from 49 nations with several milieu indicators (e.g., life expectancy, homicide rates) from thr...
Structure of Dark Triad dirty dozen across eight world regions
Rogoza, R.; Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Jonason, P. K.; Piotrowski, J.; Campbell, K. W.; Gebauer, J. E.; Maltby, J.; Sedikides, C.; Adamovic, M.The Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) has garnered intense attention over the past 15 years. We examined the structure of these traits' measure-the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD)-in a sample of 11,488 participants from three W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., North America, Oceania, Western Europe) and five non-W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., Asia, Middle East, non-Western Europe, South America, sub-Saharan Africa) ...
Belief in a zero-sum game and subjective well-being across 35 countries
Różycka-Tran, J.; Piotrowski, J. P.; Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Jurek, P.; Osin, E. N.; Adams, B. G.; Ardi, R.; Baltatescu, S.; Bhomi, A. B.; Bogomaz, S.This article presents a short research report on the relationship between perceived antagonism in social relations measured using the Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) scale, life satisfaction, and positive and negative affect. Given that individuals who believe that life is like a zero-sum game are likely to perceive their daily interactions with others as unfair, we expected that individuals with high BZSG exp...
The mental health continuum-short form: the structure and application for cross...
Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Piotrowskim J. P.; Osin, E. N.; Cieciuch, J.; Adams, B. G.; Ardi, R.; Baltatescu, S.; Bogomaz, S.; Bhomi, A. L.; Clinton, A.Objective: The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is a brief scale measuring positive human functioning. The study aimed to examine the factor structure and to explore the cross-cultural utility of the MHC-SF using bifactor models and exploratory structural equation modelling. Method: Using multigroup confirmatory analysis (MGCFA) we examined the measurement invariance of the MHC-SF in 38 countries (un...
Measurement invariance of Personal Well-Being Index (PWI-8) across 26 countries
Zemojtel-Piotrowska, M.; Piotrowski, J. P.; Cieciuch, J.; Adams, B. G.; Osin, E. N.; Ardi, R.; Baltatescu, S.; Bhomi, A. L.; Clinton, A.This report examines the measurement invariance of the Personal Well-being Index with 8 items (PWI-8). University students (N = 5731) from 26 countries completed the measure either through paper and pencil or electronic mode. We examined uni-dimensional structure of PWI and performed a Multi-group CFA to assess the measurement invariance across the 26 countries, using conventional approach and the alignment pro...
