Actions that financially benefit one person may present risk to another person. For example, the payment incentives of portfolio managers and investors are often asymmetrical such that actions that benefit a portfolio manager can pose financial risk to clients. Despite the presence and potential harm of these asymmetries, few have addressed the question of who exploits these asymmetries and how to mitigate potential harm. Our study examined the effect of selfish personality traits (the Dark Triad) and interpersonal bonding on decision-making for the self, another person, and another person with under reward asymmetry present. Results demonstrated that individuals higher in narcissism and psychopathy made risky decisions for themselves. However, when reward asymmetries were present, all three Dark Triad traits were associated with making riskier decisions for another person in order to benefit the self. There was also a significant interaction between interpersonal closeness generated through bonding and psychopathy such that bonding made the decision-making processes of those high in psychopathy less risky for others. These findings have implications for how different individuals with different relationships make self and other-based financial decisions, and how those decisions change when rewards are asymmetrical.

做出影响自己与他人的决定：人际关系亲密和黑暗三联征特征的影响

使一个人获得经济利益的行为可能会给另一个人带来风险。例如，投资组合经理和投资者的支付激励通常是不对称的，因此有利于投资组合经理的行为可能会给客户带来财务风险。尽管存在这些不对称性并存在潜在危害，但很少有人解决谁利用这些不对称性以及如何减轻潜在危害的问题。我们的研究考察了自私人格特质（黑暗三联征）和人际关系对自我、他人和另一个存在奖励不对称的人的决策的影响。结果表明，自恋和精神病态程度较高的人会为自己做出冒险的决定。然而，当存在奖励不对称时，所有三个黑暗三联征特征都与为他人做出更冒险的决定以造福自己有关。通过联结和精神变态产生的人际亲密感之间也存在显着的相互作用，这种联结使得那些高度精神病患者的决策过程对其他人的风险较小。这些发现对具有不同关系的不同个人如何做出基于自我和他人的财务决策，以及当奖励不对称时这些决策如何改变具有影响。
