Objective: Partialing procedures are frequently used in psychological research. The present study sought to further explore the consequences of partialing, focusing on the replicability of partialing-based results. Method: We used popular measures of the Dark Triad (DT; Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) to explore the replicability of partialing procedures. We examined whether the residual content of popular DT scales are similar to the residual content of DT scales derived from separate samples based on relations with individual items from the IPIP-NEO-120, allowing for a fine-grained analysis of residual variable content. Results: Profiles were compared using three sample sizes (Small N=156-157, Moderate N = 313-314, Large N = 627-628) randomly drawn from a large MTurk sample (N = 1,255). There was low convergence among original/residual DT scales within samples. Additionally, results showed the content of residual Dirty Dozen scales was not similar across samples. Similar results were found for Short Dark Triad-Machiavellianism, but only in the moderate and small samples. Conclusion: The results indicate that there are important issues that arise when using partialing procedures, including replicability issues surrounding residual variables. Reasons for the observed results are discussed and further research examining the replicability of residual-based results is recommended.

Het huidige onderzoek had tot doel om enkele psychometrische eigenschappen van de Nederlandse versie van de Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD; Jonason & Webster, 2010) te onderzoeken. De DTDD is een zeer kort instrument voor het meten van de Dark Triad (Machiavellisme, Psychopathie en Narcisme). De interne structuur en betrouwbaarheid van de DTDD werden onderzocht in een groep leidinggevenden (n = 302), medewerkers (n = 320) en werkende studenten (n = 356). De resultaten bevestigden de indeling van de items van de DTDD in drie schalen en lieten zien dat de schalen van de DTDD over een matige (Psychopathie) tot goede betrouwbaarheid beschikten. Verder werd een negatief verband gevonden tussen leeftijd en Machiavellisme en Narcisme en bleken mannen hoger te scoren op Machiavellisme en Psychopathie dan vrouwen, al waren deze verbanden zwak. Aanvullend begripsvaliditeitsonderzoek in een groep van 177 studenten liet diverse verwachte verbanden zien tussen de DTDD en de NEO-PI-R. Zo bleken alle schalen redelijk sterk negatief samen te hangen met Altruïsme en bleek Consciëntieusheid negatief samen te hangen met Machiavellisme en Psychopathie. De resultaten uit het huidige onderzoek komen goed overeen met eerder onderzoek en steunen met name de bruikbaarheid van de DTDD voor onderzoeksdoeleinden.

Narcissism may be seen as the most controversial trait of the Dark Triad, character¬ized by both negative and positive aspects. This study tested the hypotheses regarding the relationship between narcissism and intelligence, tolerance for uncertainty, and the Big Five traits. The sample included two groups of participants: 1) middle managers (N=62, Mage = 37.60, SD = 8.84); 2) undergraduate and postgraduate students (N=1187, Mage = 22.37, SD = 4.44). The Dark Triad traits were measured using the Dirty Dozen questionnaire. The following measures were used: 2 subtests for fluid intelligence from the International Cognitive Ability Resource (ICAR) and 2 subscales for verbal intelligence from the Rapid Online Assessment Deployment System (ROADS); New Questionnaire for Tolerance of Uncertainty; and the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). For students, a relationship between narcissism was established with the following variables: verbal intelligence (p<0.05); tolerance to uncertainty (p <0.05) and interpersonal intolerance (p<0.01). For managers, narcissism was also linked to tolerance to uncertainty (p<0.05). Positive correlations between narcissism, extroversion, and openness to experience and a negative relationship with emotional stability were established among students. It is concluded that the relationship between narcissism, verbal intelligence, and tolerance for uncertainty reflects the “light” side of narcissism.

The Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) has garnered intense attention over the past 15 years. We examined the structure of these traits’ measure—the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD)—in a sample of 11,488 participants from three W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., North America, Oceania, Western Europe) and five non-W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., Asia, Middle East, non-Western Europe, South America, sub-Saharan Africa) world regions. The results confirmed the measurement invariance of the DTDD across participants’ sex in all world regions, with men scoring higher than women on all traits (except for psychopathy in Asia, where the difference was not significant). We found evidence for metric (and partial scalar) measurement invariance within and between W.E.I.R.D. and non-W.E.I.R.D. world regions. The results generally support the structure of the DTDD.

Resumo O presente estudo objetivou explorar os parâmetros psicométricos da Dirty Dozen por meio da Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), utilizando o Modelo de Resposta Graduada. Participaram 284 pessoas, com média de idade de 24,2 anos (DP = 8,76). Inicialmente, checou-se a dimensionalidade da escala, sendo encontrados resultados que apoiam uma estrutura composta por três fatores oblíquos (CFI = 0,99; TLI = 0,98; RMSEA = 0,03). Portanto, as análises de TRI foram realizadas separadamente para cada fator. Posteriormente, verificou-se que os itens discriminam adequadamente os participantes, sendo aqueles que pertencem ao fator narcisismo os mais endossados; maquiavelismo e psicopatia exigiram uma quantidade maior de theta para haver concordância com o conteúdo do item, quiçá em virtude desses traços serem socialmente indesejáveis. Estima-se que os objetivos do estudo foram alcançados, conhecendo evidências dessa medida breve a partir da TRI, referendando seu uso em possibilidades futuras.
