摘要

背景:研究亲社会行为的黑暗三合一文献很少，结果好坏参半。参与者和程序:本研究基于286名成人的自我报告数据，探讨了黑暗人格特质与利他行为之间的关系。利他主义是用两种量表来评估的:一种是一般的量表，另一种是最近的量表，用来衡量对家人、朋友和陌生人的同情利他主义。结果:马基雅维利主义与一般利他主义呈负相关;然而，当在回归中控制其他黑暗变量加上年龄和性别时，自恋是唯一能显著预测利他主义的黑暗三合一特征。黑暗三位一体的特征都与同情利他主义没有显著的关系或预测。结论:本研究表明黑暗人格特质与利他主义之间的关系并不是直接的，令人惊讶的是，并没有发现黑暗人格特质与利他主义之间存在强烈的负相关关系。讨论了局限性和未来的研究方向。

Altruism and the Dark Triad.

Background: The Dark Triad literature examining pro-social behaviours is minimal, with mixed results.

Participants and procedure: This study investigates the relationships between the Dark Triad and altruistic behaviours based on self-report data from 286 adults. Altruism was assessed using two scales: a general measure as well as a more recent scale measuring compassionate altruism towards family, friends, and strangers.

Results: Machiavellianism negatively correlated with general altruism; however, when controlling for the other dark variables plus age and gender in a regression, narcissism was the only Dark Triad trait that significantly predicted altruism. None of the Dark Triad traits were significantly related to or predictive of compassionate altruism.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the Dark Triad and altruism relationships are not straightforward, and that, surprisingly, strong negative relationships between the traits and altruism are not found. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.
