• Dark Triad traits and their structure: An empirical approach (2020, background): “…to low agreeableness and a strong preference for valuing power, achievement and hedonism (Balakrishan et al. 2017; DeShong et al. 2015; DeShong et al. 2017; Jonason et al. 2015; Kajonius et al. 2015; Krizan and Herlache 2017; Paulhus andWilliams 2002; Rogoza et al. 2016a; Vernon et al. 2008).”

• Proposing a Multidimensional Machiavellianism Conceptualization (2011, background): “A MULTIDIMENSIONAL MACHIAVELLIANISM STRUCTURE 393 However, there is empirical evidence of a need to distinguish between each of the Dark Triad traits (e.g., Paulhus & Williams, 2002; Vernon et al., 2008).”
