This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the correlations of observer reports of the Dark Triad and Dark Tetrad traits with these traits' self-reports. A comprehensive search in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO yielded 24 studies that met the inclusion criteria (with 32 effect sizes) and included the assessment of at least one of the dark traits. Results showed positive self-observer correlations of medium-high magnitude for psychopathy (r = 0.47) and of medium magnitude for narcissism and Machiavellianism (respectively, r = 0.44 and 0.41). In addition, for Machiavellianism and psychopathy, it was shown that the better acquainted the observer and the observed, the higher the self-observer correlations. For sadism, no results could be obtained because only one study included the assessment of this trait. This is the first meta-analysis of inter-rater agreement in assessing the Dark Tetrad. The findings suggest that observer reports could be a supplement or even be alternatives to self-reports when assessing the Dark Tetrad traits.</p>","PeriodicalId":46871,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"e1639"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142559134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mentalization theory posits that BP vulnerabilities and interpersonal difficulties arise from insecure attachment experiences and deficits in mentalizing ability. This study explored the intersections of attachment vulnerabilities in close relationships, mentalizing domains, and their combined impact on BP features and interpersonal competence in emerging adults. The sample included 742 emerging adults (18-25 years) from colleges across 23 Indian states, who completed an online survey measuring relationship-specific attachment anxiety and avoidance (mother, father, best friend), mentalization (self-related, other-related, motivation to mentalize), BP features, and interpersonal competence. Path analysis was conducted to examine (a) the association between relationship-specific attachment dimensions and BP features/interpersonal competence and (b) mentalization as a mediator. Attachment anxiety and avoidance in specific relationships were found to have direct positive effects on BP features and direct negative effects on interpersonal competence. However, the strength and significance of these effects were not similar across relationships, shedding light on unique contributions of relationship-specific attachment difficulties on BP features and interpersonal competence. Mentalization mediated these associations, with self-related mentalization uniquely affecting BP features and other-related mentalization influencing interpersonal competence. The findings underscore the importance of relationship-specific attachment and mentalization domains in BP vulnerabilities among emerging adults. They provide empirical support for developing targeted mentalization-based interventions to enhance self and interpersonal functioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":46871,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Mental Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"e70009"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among 292 participants, 97% reported significant trauma exposure, and over half met the criteria for CPTSD. Those with CPTSD exhibited higher levels of social dysfunction and depression compared with those with BPD, despite both groups showing elevated emotion dysregulation and anxiety. Comorbidity of CPTSD and BPD was high, with 50% of the sample meeting criteria for both conditions. Participants with comorbid CPTSD and BPD displayed poorer baseline scores across all measures of mental health and functioning than those who met criteria for BPD alone. No statistically significant differences were found in suicidal behaviour or treatment-seeking between groups. There were no significant differences in International Classification of Diseases-11 personality trait domains between participants with CPTSD and BPD, but people with comorbid CPTSD and BPD displayed higher levels of trait negative affectivity than those with BPD alone. The findings highlight the need for trauma-informed assessments in clinical settings and a better understanding of the impact of CPTSD on treatment outcomes for people with personality disorder, including how existing treatments may need to be modified to better meet the needs of people with these highly comorbid conditions.

I propose that epistemic mistrust (EM) and epistemic credulity (EC), characterized by inappropriate trust patterns, arise from the differential costs of trusting unreliable versus mistrusting reliable information. Although these biases may seem maladaptive, they function as evolutionary survival mechanisms in response to harsh environments. Signal detection analysis can provide empirical evidence for these trust biases by assessing how individuals with BPD make trust-related decisions.
