Abstract

Background

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, while positive parenting practices correlate with narcissism.

Objective

We investigated whether ACEs and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) predict Dark Tetrad traits, and whether PCEs moderate these relationships.

Participants and Setting

A total of 931 participants (283 men, 632 women, 16 non-binary; Mage = 35.72 years, SD = 12.52) completed an online survey.

Method

Participants completed the NPI, SRP-III, Mach-IV, SIS, CES-17, and the BCES.

Results

ACEs predicted psychopathy, narcissism, and sadism, while PCEs were positively associated with narcissism. PCEs moderated the relationships between ACEs and (a) psychopathy, and (b) sadism.

Conclusions

The findings highlight the protective role PCEs play in the development of certain Dark Tetrad traits.
