Soldiers of misfortune: An examination of the Dark Triad and the experience of schadenfreude (2014, background): “As narcissists have the highest degree of emotional intelligence of the three Dark Triad traits (Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012), and possess the ability to recognize the emotional expressions of others, it is possible that they do not seek out these videos of individuals in pain as they are able to…”
The Relationship Between Narcissistic Exploitativeness, Dispositional Empathy, and Emotion Recognition Abilities (2014, methodology): “We also included measures of positive (Cronbach a = .89) and negative mood (Cronbach a = .85) as covariates in our analyses (Watson et al. 1988).”
Vengeance and the Dark Triad: The role of empathy and perspective taking in trait forgivingness (2014, background): “…that each of the Dark Triad traits is negatively associated with global empathy (Barnett & Thompson, 1985; Watson, Grisham, Trotter, & Biderman, 1984), it was not until Wai and Tiliopoulos (2012) that the relation between the Dark Triad and cognitive and emotional empathy was investigated.”
Is there a ''dark intelligence''? Emotional intelligence is used by dark personalities to emotionally manipulate others (2014, unknown): “For example, dark personalities may score high on cognitive empathy (Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012; Book, Quinsey, & Langford, 2007; Dolan & Fullam, 2004; Hansen, Johnsen, Hart, Waage, & Thayer, 2008) and lower on affective empathy (Jonason & Krause, 2013).”
Narcissism and Empathy in Young Offenders and Non–Offenders (2014, background): “Recent evidence suggests that narcissists do well at recognising others’ emotions (Wai and Tiliopoulos, 2012) and are able to respond empathically to a distressed target person when forced to take their perspective (Hepper, Hart, et al.”
The relationship between the Dark Tetrad and a two-dimensional view of empathy (2018, unknown): “Narcissistic individuals usually show unimpaired ability in emotion recognition tasks (Ritter et al., 2011; Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012; although see Marissen, Deen, & Franken, 2012).”
The emotional deficits associated with the Dark Triad traits: Cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and alexithymia (2013, background): “However, this relationship appears to be localized to the affective component of empathy, with the association between cognitive empathy and the Dark Triad traits more equivocal (Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012).”
The Dark Triad of personality and utilitarian moral judgment: The mediating role of Honesty/Humility and Harm/Care (2014, background): “The Dark Triad share a common core of empathy deficits (Ali, Amorim, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2009; Jones & Paulhus, 2011), but when controlling for shared variance, psychopathy appears to be the only independent predictor of affective empathy (Jonason & Krause, 2013; Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012).”
Trait psychopathy and utilitarian moral judgement: The mediating role of action aversion (2015, background): “…display of others, for instance, both subclinical and forensic psychopathic personalities report feeling more positive affect when looking at sad and fearful faces and report more negative valence when looking at happy faces (Ali, Amorim, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2009; Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012).”
The Core of Darkness: Uncovering the Heart of the Dark Triad (2013, background): “Empirical research has supported this idea, finding that a lack of empathy is a common element among the DT traits (Wai & Tiliopoulos, 2012).”
