The relationship between the Dark Triad and depressive symptoms is controversial. While some studies have reported negative correlations, then suggesting a protective effect of the Dark Triad traits against depression, evidence sometimes indicates the opposite, that is, that dark traits co-occur with depression. An additional issue is that these associations could be moderated by sex, a hypothesis yet to be tested. In the current study, we intended to investigate the relationship between the Dark Triad traits and the variables depression and life satisfaction, besides testing the role of sex as a potential moderator in these relationships. Participants were 488 undergraduate students, with ages from 18 to 72 years (M = 29.51; SD = 10.55; 75.6% females), who responded to the Short Dark Triad, the Baptista’s Depression Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Results from the Structural Equation Modeling indicated that each Dark Triad trait manifested a unique pattern of relationships to depression and life satisfaction. Nevertheless, we found no evidence of moderation by sex in the relationship that the dark traits have with depression and life satisfaction. Findings from the present study reveal a complex relationship of pathological traits with mental health/disorder variables, with comparable patterns occurring for both sexes.

沮丧或满意?暗黑社会特征,抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系

黑暗三合会和抑郁症状之间的关系是有争议的。虽然一些研究报道了负相关,然后暗示了黑暗三合会特质对抑郁的保护作用,但有时证据表明相反,即黑暗特质与抑郁共存。另一个问题是这些关联可以通过性别来调节,这一假设有待检验。在当前的研究中,我们打算研究黑暗三合会特质与变量抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系,除了测试性别在这些关系中作为潜在调节者的作用外。参与者是488名本科生,年龄在18至72岁之间(M  = 29.51;SD = 10.55; 75.6%的女性),他们回答了“短黑暗三合会”,“巴普蒂斯塔的抑郁量表”和“生活满意度”量表。结构方程模型的结果表明,每个“黑暗三合会”特征都表现出与抑郁和生活满意度之间关系的独特模式。然而,我们没有发现黑暗特征与抑郁和生活满意度之间存在性别节制的证据。从本研究中发现的结果表明,病理特征与心理健康/疾病变量之间存在复杂的关系,男女之间的可比模式也不同。
