In the present research, we replicate and extend previous findings on the relations between human values and bright\dark traits of personality, using the functional theory of human values (Gouveia, 2013). Specifically, we assessed which dark traits are associated with human values and whether the dark traits explained variance in values beyond the bright traits (Big Five). While prior research has investigated the relations between the three sets of constructs mainly in Western countries, we tested whether the findings hold in Brazil (N = 819). Although values are defined as positive constructs, several value subfunctions were positively correlated with the dark traits (e.g., excitement values with narcissism), while other relations were negative. Controlling for participants' age and gender, hierarchical regressions further revealed that dark traits explain variance in values beyond bright traits, although overall bright traits were more strongly associated with values than dark traits. Together, our findings replicate previous research. Implications for our understanding of the Dark Triad and cross-cultural research are discussed.

人类价值观的阴暗面：价值观与明暗人格特质的关系

在本研究中，我们利用人类价值观的功能理论（Gouveia，2013）复制并扩展了先前关于人类价值观与人格明暗特征之间关系的发现。具体来说，我们评估了哪些黑暗特征与人类价值观相关，以及黑暗特征是否解释了明亮特征（大五）之外的价值差异。虽然先前的研究主要在西方国家调查了三组结构之间的关系，但我们测试了这些发现是否适用于巴西（ñ= 819）。尽管价值观被定义为积极的结构，但一些价值子功能与黑暗特征（例如，自恋的兴奋值）呈正相关，而其他关系则为负。控制参与者的年龄和性别，层次回归进一步表明，黑暗特征解释了明亮特征之外的价值差异，尽管整体明亮特征与价值的相关性比黑暗特征更强烈。总之，我们的发现重复了之前的研究。讨论了对我们理解黑暗三合会和跨文化研究的影响。
