Jones1 and Delroy L. Paulhus2 Abstract Three socially aversive traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—have been studied as an overlapping constellation known as the Dark Triad. Here, we develop and validate the Short Dark Triad (SD3), a brief proxy measure. Four studies (total N = 1,063) examined the structure, reliability, and validity of the subscales in both community and student samples. In Studies 1 and 2, structural analyses yielded three factors with the final 27 items loading appropriately on their respective factors. Study 3 confirmed that the resulting SD3 subscales map well onto the longer standard measures. Study 4 validated the SD3 subscales against informant ratings. Together, these studies indicate that the SD3 provides efficient, reliable, and valid measures of the Dark Triad of personalities.

The Prevelance of Dark Triad Personality Traits In
PERSONALITY AND WORKPLACE BULLYING Role of the Big Five Personality Traits in Predicting Workplace Bullying Perpetrators in South Africa by Mari van der Westhuizen Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (Department of Industrial Psychology) in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University Department of Industrial Psychology | Stellenbosch University | Master’s thesis Supervisor: Mrs. Marietha de Wet March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za PERSONALITY AND WORKPLACE BULLYING 2 Abstract Workplace bullying as a psychosocial phenomenon has been an object of investigation on an international level for the past 20 years. Yet, limited research about this phenomenon exist in South Africa. Workplace bullying can be referred to as a form of counter-productive behaviour in the work environment, which has a significant effect on the well-being of employees and the organisation. This phenomenon can be understood by studying the person, as well as the environmental characteristics that may perpetuate or inhibit bullying in the workplace. This study specifically aims to explore bullying behaviours in South African organisations, and to what extent personality characteristics contributes to the occurrence of bullying in the workplace, i.e., the relationship between personality traits and workplace bullying. This study also aimed to find bullying scales that can accurately predict workplace bullying, as bullying scales are lacking in the literature. In addition, this study aimed to assist employers to identify and establish proactive interventions to prevent bullying in the workplace. The personality characteristics chosen for this study was the famous Big Five personality traits, namely Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness to experience, and Conscientiousness. -

INSOMNIA Authors: Dr
INSOMNIA Authors: Dr. Ashna Bowry, Dr. Karl Iglar Created Dec 2010 Overview Insomnia is commonly reported due to daytime fatigue, physical discomfort and psychological distress1. Although highly prevalent and can lead to physical and mental health problems as well as social, occupational and economic repercussions, poor sleep quality is often overlooked. The prevalence of insomnia is estimated to be 13.4% in Canada and 6-10% worldwide. 2 Definitions Acute insomnia: new onset of difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, with the presence of an identifiable trigger lasting < 4 wks. duration;Chronic insomnia: symptoms lasting >4 weeks; Primary insomnia: a conditioned state of hyperarousal that inhibits the sleep process. Not usually associated with a comorbidity and often lasts < 1 month; Secondary insomnia: associated with primary sleep disorders (C: Circadian rhythm, A: sleep apnea, L: restless legs), medications, medical or psychiatric conditions (mood disorders and substance abuse) – see table 1; Sleep-onset latency: the time it takes to fall asleep. Normal is < 30 minutes8 Diagnostic Considerations Consider diagnosis of insomnia for patients with difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or non-refreshing sleep in a person who has the opportunity to sleep 7-8 hours per night. Clinically relevant if effects daytime functionality (daytime dysfunction, fatigue, poor concentration and irritability.) 1,3 Sleep history is essential and should include: recent life changes, alcohol/drug use, sleep and wakefulness patterns, effect on functioning. -

Orientations to Happiness Between the Dark Triad Traits and Subjective Well-Being
behavioral sciences Article Orientations to Happiness between the Dark Triad Traits and Subjective Well-Being Pierpaolo Limone 1, Maria Sinatra 2,* and Lucia Monacis 1 1 Department of Humanities, University of Foggia, 71100 Foggia, Italy; [email protected] (P.L.); [email protected] (L.M.) 2 Department of Educational Sciences, Psychology, Communication, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 March 2020; Accepted: 11 May 2020; Published: 12 May 2020 Abstract: Previous research investigated the linkage between the Dark Triad traits and subjective well-being, but the factors explaining individual differences in terms of cognitive strategies for achieving happiness remained poorly understood. This study (N = 460) examined the indirect effects of orientations to happiness in the link between dark personality traits and subjective well-being in terms of life satisfaction and positive emotion. Participants completed a questionnaire comprising the Dark Triad Questionnaire, the Orientations to Happiness scale, the Satisfaction with Life scale, and the PANAS. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and partial correlations, and structural equation model were applied to the data. Zero-order and partial correlations showed no significant associations of Machiavellianism and psychopathy with subjective well-being measures, and positive associations of narcissism with the three orientations to happiness and the two dimensions of subjective well-being. Indirect effects indicated that the bright side of narcissism sought the pursuit of the emotional component of SWB by adopting engaging activities. Further studies should replicate our findings. Keywords: Narcissism; psychopathy; Machiavellianism; orientations to happiness; subjective well-being 1. Introduction In recent years, the interest in well-being within the psychological field has grown rapidly in order to investigate the sources of happiness and the many aspects of human flourishing [1,2]. -

The Dark Triad and Attractiveness in Speed Dating
European Journal of Personality, Eur. J. Pers. (2016) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/per.2040 How Alluring Are Dark Personalities? The Dark Triad and Attractiveness in Speed Dating EMANUEL JAUK1*, ALJOSCHA C. NEUBAUER1, THOMAS MAIRUNTEREGGER1, STEPHANIE PEMP1, KATHARINA P. SIEBER1 and JOHN F. RAUTHMANN2 1Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Austria 2Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany Abstract: Dark Triad traits (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) are linked to the pursuit of short-term mating strategies, but they may have differential effects on actual mating success in naturalistic scenarios: Narcissism may be a facilitator for men’s short-term mating success, while Machiavellianism and psychopathy may be detrimen- tal. To date, little is known about the attractiveness of Dark Triad traits in women. In a speed-dating study, we assessed participants’ Dark Triad traits, Big Five personality traits, and physical attractiveness in N = 90 heterosex- ual individuals (46 women and 44 men). Each participant rated each partner’s mate appeal for short- and long-term relationships. Across both sexes, narcissism was positively associated with mate appeal for short- and long-term re- lationships. Further analyses indicated that these associations were due to the shared variance among narcissism and extraversion in men and narcissism and physical attractiveness in women, respectively. In women, psychopathy was also positively associated with mate appeal for short-term relationships. Regarding mating preferences, narcissism was found to involve greater choosiness in the rating of others’ mate appeal (but not actual choices) in men, while psychopathy was associated with greater openness towards short-term relationships in women. -

Myers, N. (1976). The leopard Panthera pardus in Africa. Morges: IUCN. Keywords: 1Afr/Africa/IUCN/leopard/Panthera pardus/status/survey/trade Abstract: The survey was instituted to assess the status of the leopard in Africa south of the Sahara (hereafter referred to as sub-Saharan Africa). The principal intention was to determine the leopard's distribution, and to ascertain whether its numbers were being unduly depleted by such factors as the fur trade and modification of Wildlands. Special emphasis was to be directed at trends in land use which may affect the leopard, in order to determine dynamic aspects of its status. Arising out of these investigations, guidelines were to be formulated for the more effective conservation of the species. Since there is no evidence of significant numbers of leopards in northern Africa, the survey was restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Although every country of this region had to be considered, detailed investigations were appropriate only in those areas which seemed important to the leopard's continental status. Sub-Saharan Africa now comprises well over 40 countries. With the limitations of time and funds available, visits could be arranged to no more than a selection of countries. The aim was to make an on-the-ground assessment of at least one country in each of the major biomes, viz. Sahel, Sudano-Guinean woodland, rainforest and miombo woodland, in addition to the basic study of East African savannah grasslands discussed in the next section. Special emphasis was directed at the countries of southern Africa, to ascertain what features of agricultural development have contributed to the decline of the leopard in that region and whether these are likely to be replicated elsewhere.
