Prosocial behavior is intended to benefit others rather than oneself and is positively linked to personality traits such as Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility, and usually negatively to the Dark Triad traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy). However, a significant proportion of the research in this area is conducted solely on self-report measures of prosocial behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between prosociality and the basic (i.e., HEXACO) and dark personality traits, comparing their contribution in predicting both self-reported prosociality and prosocial behavior. Results of the hierarchical regression analyses showed that the Dark Triad traits explain prosociality and prosocial behavior above and beyond the HEXACO traits, emphasizing the importance of the Dark Triad in the personality space.

寻找亲社会的人格

亲社会行为的目的是使他人而不是自己受益，并且与人格特质（例如和gree和诚实谦虚）正相关，而通常与黑暗三合会特质（例如，马基雅维利主义，自恋和心理疾病）负相关。但是，在这一领域的很大一部分研究仅针对亲社会行为的自我报告测量。因此，本研究的目的是研究亲社会性与基本（即HEXACO）和黑暗人格特征之间的关系，比较它们在预测自我报告的亲社会性和亲社会行为方面的贡献。等级回归分析的结果表明，“黑暗三合会”特质解释了HEXACO特质之外的亲社会性和亲社会行为，
