Abstract

This study examines the relationship between dark personality traits and attitudes towards punishment.Considering the evidence, we propose two hypotheses to be tested in this study: Of four dark tetrad traits, Machiavellianism will be the most strongly related to punitiveness (deterrence, incapacitation, desertion and moral balance); high scores in conservatism/right‐wing ideology will be positively related to deterrence, incapacitation, desert and moral balance attitudes. People with a liberal/left‐wing ideology will score higher in restorative justice and rehabilitation.The study sample was composed of 1552 participants from Spain and Latin America (Mexico, Colombia and Peru). Participants responded to an adaptation of penal attitudes scale, the Short Dark‐Tetrad Questionnaire and a political ideology scale.The results indicated that among demographic characteristics, ideology was the best predictor of penal justice attitudes, whereas Machiavellianism surpassed other dark traits as a predictor.No previous research examined how De Keiser et al. scale of attitudes towards criminal justice relates to dark personality and ideology. This research shows that dark personality predicts punitiveness and how Machiavellianism plays a relevant role. Future research could also combine Big‐Five ‘bright personality’ variables and since Dark Personality variables.Of the four dark personality traits, Machiavellianism is the strongest predictor of all punitiveness penal attitudes (deterrence, incapacitation, desertion and moral balance). Conservative/right‐wing ideology is related to punitive attitudes; however, rehabilitation and restorative justice were unrelated to ideology.
对刑罚制度的态度、意识形态和黑暗特质
本研究探讨了黑暗人格特质与惩罚态度之间的关系。考虑到相关证据,我们提出了两个假设,供本研究检验:在四种阴暗性格特征中,马基雅维利主义与惩罚性(威慑、丧失能力、遗弃和道德平衡)的关系最为密切;保守主义/右翼意识形态的高分与威慑、丧失能力、遗弃和道德平衡态度呈正相关。研究样本由来自西班牙和拉丁美洲(墨西哥、哥伦比亚和秘鲁)的 1552 名参与者组成。结果表明,在人口统计学特征中,意识形态是预测刑事司法态度的最佳指标,而马基雅维利主义则超越其他黑暗特质成为预测指标。这项研究表明,阴暗人格可以预测惩罚性,而马基雅维利主义则起到了相关作用。未来的研究还可以将大五项 "光明人格 "变量和黑暗人格变量结合起来。在四种黑暗人格特质中,马基雅维利主义对所有惩罚性刑罚态度(威慑、无行为能力、遗弃和道德平衡)的预测作用最强。保守/右翼意识形态与惩罚性态度有关;但康复和恢复性司法与意识形态无关。
