Psychometric properties of an Arabic Version of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen Scale
ABSTRACT Objective Few studies have investigated the Dark Triad and its impact on behaviour in Saudi Arabia, mostly due to the lack of validated instruments. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen, in the context of Saudi Arabia. Method A sample of 1,329 respondents (59.8% female, mean age = 26.79, SD = 8.47) completed a survey containing the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DD), the Corruption Propensity Scale and the Propensity to Morally Disengage scale, as well as a demographics questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance across gender, internal consistency reliability analysis, test–retest reliability analysis, and concurrent and convergent validity analyses were performed to validate the DD. Results The CFA supported a three-factor model with adequate factor loadings ranging between 0.29 and 0.83 and sufficient fit indices. The scale was gender invariant. The internal consistency reliability and test–retest reliability were adequate (0.70–0.86 and 0.58–0.75, respectively). Moderate-to-high Pearson correlations supported the convergent and concurrent validity of the scale. Conclusion The Dark Triad Dirty Dozen is a reliable and valid measure that can be used in Saudi Arabia. Key points What is already known about this topic: (1) In the past two decades, there has been considerable attention in the psychological literature to the Dark Triad personality traits in explaining malicious behaviours. (2) Scales to measure the Dark Triad personality traits in individuals have been developed, among them the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale. (3) The Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale is widely used and has been validated in many countries, but not in Saudi Arabia. What this topic adds: (1) This study presents the results of the first validation of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale in the context of Saudi Arabia. (2) Results of this study confirmed the psychometric properties of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale in Saudi Arabia, joining previous research in other countries. (3) The study results indicate that this scale is a valid and reliable tool for practitioners and researchers to assess the Dark Triad personality traits in Saudis.
期刊介绍:
Australian Journal of Psychology is the premier scientific journal of the Australian Psychological Society. It covers the entire spectrum of psychological research and receives articles on all topics within the broad scope of the discipline. The journal publishes high quality peer-reviewed articles with reviewers and associate editors providing detailed assistance to authors to reach publication. The journal publishes reports of experimental and survey studies, including reports of qualitative investigations, on pure and applied topics in the field of psychology. Articles on clinical psychology or on the professional concerns of applied psychology should be submitted to our sister journals, Australian Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist. The journal publishes occasional reviews of specific topics, theoretical pieces and commentaries on methodological issues. There are also solicited book reviews and comments Annual special issues devoted to a single topic, and guest edited by a specialist editor, are published. The journal regards itself as international in vision and will accept submissions from psychologists in all countries.
