Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the Dark Triad traits and temporal associations with Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and ageism across 3 years. A cross-lagged analysis of 3 waves of data was conducted using a Chinese sample (N = 613, aged 18–60 years). The analysis revealed a mutual cumulative effect of Machiavellianism and psychopathy in both the young adult group and the middle-aged group. However, narcissism was relatively independent, and only psychopathy positively predicted narcissism in the young adult group. Machiavellianism and psychopathy at T1 positively predicted ageism at T2, and Machiavellianism and psychopathy at T2 positively predicted ageism at T3 in both groups. There were positive bidirectional associations between Machiavellianism and ageism at each point (T1, T2, T3) in the young adult group only. However, the prediction of ageism based on narcissism was unstable with a negligible predictive effect.

黑暗三合会特质的构建及其与年龄歧视的关系：对中国 18-60 岁成年人的三年纵向研究

本研究旨在探讨黑暗三联征与马基雅维利主义、自恋、精神病态和年龄歧视之间的关系。研究使用中国样本（N = 613，18-60 岁）对 3 波数据进行了交叉滞后分析。分析结果显示，在青年组和中年组中，马基雅维利主义和心理变态具有相互累积效应。然而，自恋是相对独立的，在青年组中，只有精神病态对自恋有积极的预测作用。在两个组别中，T1 阶段的马基雅维利主义和心理变态正向预测 T2 阶段的年龄歧视，T2 阶段的马基雅维利主义和心理变态正向预测 T3 阶段的年龄歧视。在每个时间点（T1、T2、T3），马基雅维利主义与年龄歧视之间仅在青年组存在正双向关联。然而，基于自恋对年龄歧视的预测并不稳定，预测效果微乎其微。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
