Abstract

The Dark Triad is a constellation of related traits that capture subclinical aversive predispositions. The present research tested whether the Dark Triad predicts ideological poking, defined as the public display of products aimed at insulting political opponents. Study 1 (N = 299) indicated that psychopathy (but not Machiavellianism or narcissism) predicted ideological poking. Study 2 (N = 200) replicated this effect and specified further that psychopathy was associated with ideological poking around both ingroup and outgroup audiences. These results suggest that the Dark Triad, in particular psychopathy, may contribute to political polarization via its connection to extreme forms of political expression.

黑暗三合会预测公开展示令人反感的政治产品

黑暗三联征（Dark Triad）是一个由相关特征组成的星座，它捕捉了亚临床厌恶倾向。本研究测试了 "黑暗三联征 "是否能预测意识形态戳刺行为，意识形态戳刺行为是指公开展示旨在侮辱政治对手的产品。研究 1（N = 299）表明，心理变态（而非马基雅维利主义或自恋）可预测意识形态戳人行为。研究 2（N = 200）复制了这一效应，并进一步明确指出，心理变态与针对内群体和外群体受众的意识形态戳刺行为有关。这些结果表明，"黑暗三联征"，尤其是心理变态，可能会通过与极端的政治表达形式相关联而导致政治两极分化。
