Is there a ''dark intelligence''? Emotional intelligence is used by dark personalities to emotionally manipulate others (2014, background): “The sub-clinical forms of these traits share a callous, manipulative, and exploitative nature (Jonason, Webster, Schmitt, Li, & Crysel, 2012; Jones & Figueredo, 2013; Rauthmann, 2012a).”
The Dark Triad of personality and unethical behavior at different times of day (2016, background): “Despite their different etiologies, these personalities share common features, for example disagreeableness (Paulhus &Williams, 2002), manipulation and callousness (Jones & Figueredo, 2013), and social exploitation (Jonason, Li, & Teicher, 2010).”
Angel on one shoulder: Can perceived organizational support moderate the relationship between the Dark Triad traits and counterproductive work behavior? (2017, background): “Perhaps individuals high in narcissism (i.e., selfaggrandizing), Machiavellianism (i.e., manipulative), and psychopathy (i.e., lacking empathy) engage in CWB because they share a common “core of darkness” including callous affect and manipulation (Jones & Figueredo, 2013).”
A Network of Dark Personality Traits: What Lies at the Heart of Darkness? (2018, methodology): “These correlations suggest that the shared variance among these traits may represent a ‘‘core of darkness” (Jones & Figueredo, 2013, p. 521).”
Unpacking “evil”: Claiming the core of the Dark Triad (2015, background): “…including Big Five Agreeableness (Jakobwitz & Egan, 2006; Paulhus & Williams, 2002), callousness (Jones & Paulhus, 2010), a fast and exploitative life history strategy (Jonason et al., 2012), Factor 1 of psychopathy (Jones & Figuerdo, 2013), and the HEXACO model of personality (Lee & Ashton, 2005).”
The Dark Triad and dispositional aggression (2015, background): “Although all three Dark Triad traits are high in callousness and manipulation, it is important to examine the differences in theirmotivations and behavioral expressions (Jones & Figueredo, 2013).”
The relationship between the Dark Tetrad and a two-dimensional view of empathy (2018, unknown): “Psychopathy is characterized by affective deficits, manipulative interpersonal style, overt antisocial behaviour, and impulsivity (Hare & Neumann, 2008), which differs from other dark members in terms of impulsive antisocial behaviour (Jones & Figueredo, 2013).”
The Malevolent Side of Human Nature (2017, background): “Some authors have pointed out that in spite of the conceptual overlap among dark traits, each possesses unique features (Glenn & Sellbom, 2015; Jones & Figueredo, 2013).”
