To date, no studies have examined a range of structural models of the interpersonally aversive traits tapped by the Short Dark Tetrad (SD4; narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism), in conjunction with their measurement invariance (males vs. females) and how the models each predict external correlates. Using a large sample of young adults (N = 3,975), four latent variable models were compared in terms of fit, measurement invariance, and prediction of intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning. The models tested were as follows: (Model A) confirmatory factor analytic, (Model B) bifactor, (Model C) exploratory structural equation model, and (Model D) a reduced-item confirmatory factor analytic that maximized item information. All models accounted for item covariance with good precision, although differed in incremental fit. Strong invariance held for all models, and each accounted similarly for the external correlates, highlighting differential predictive effects of the SD4 factors. The results provide support for four theoretically distinct but overlapping dark personality domains.

检查模型、相关性和性别的短暗四分体 (SD4)

迄今为止,还没有研究检查过由短暗四联体(SD4;自恋、马基雅维利主义、精神病、虐待狂)挖掘的人际关系厌恶特征的一系列结构模型,以及它们的测量不变性(男性与女性)以及如何每个模型都预测外部相关性。使用大量年轻人样本(N= 3,975),四个潜变量模型在拟合、测量不变性以及对个人和人际功能的预测方面进行了比较。测试的模型如下:(模型A)验证性因子分析,(模型B)双因子,(模型C)探索性结构方程模型,和(模型D)简化项目验证性因子分析,最大化项目信息。所有模型都以良好的精度解释了项目协方差,尽管增量拟合不同。所有模型都具有很强的不变性,并且每个模型对外部相关性的解释相似,突出了 SD4 因子的差异预测效应。结果为四个理论上不同但重叠的黑暗人格领域提供了支持。
