Dorian Gray without his portrait: Psychological, social, and physical health costs associated with the Dark Triad ☆ (2015, background): “Psychopathy and Machiavellianism may be the ''darker'' aspects of the Dark Triad traits with their maladaptive tendencies (Rauthmann, 2012), in addition to limited empathy (Jonason & Krause, 2013; Jonason, Lyons, Bethell, & Ross, 2013) and disordered attachment (Jonason et al., 2014).”
