The Dark Triad traits-narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy-have been found to be associated with intra- or interpersonal deception production frequency. This cross-sectional study ( = 207) investigated if the Dark Triad traits are also associated with deception detection accuracy, as implicated by the recent conception of a deception-general ability. To investigate associations between maladaptive personality space and deception, the PID-5 maladaptive personality traits were included to investigate if besides Machiavellianism, Detachment is negatively associated with response bias. Finally, associations between the Dark Triad traits, Antagonism, Negative Affectivity and confidence judgments were investigated. Participants watched videos of lying vs. truth-telling senders and judged the truthfulness of the statements. None of the Dark Triad traits was found to be associated with the ability to detect deception. Detachment was negatively associated with response bias. Psychopathy was associated with global confidence judgments. The results provide additional support that dark and maladaptive personality traits are associated with judgmental biases but not with accuracy in deception detection. The internal consistencies of 4 of the 8 subscales of the used personality short scales were only low and nearly sufficient (αs =0.65-0.69).
黑暗三性格特质——自恋、马基雅维利主义和精神病态——已被发现与人际内或人际间欺骗行为的发生频率相关。这项横断面研究（n = 207）调查了黑暗三性格特质是否也与欺骗检测准确性相关，这是近期关于欺骗通用能力概念所暗示的。为了研究适应不良人格空间与欺骗之间的关联，纳入了人格障碍特质问卷第五版（PID - 5）的适应不良人格特质，以调查除马基雅维利主义外，超脱是否与反应偏差呈负相关。最后，研究了黑暗三性格特质、敌对性、消极情感性与信心判断之间的关联。参与者观看说谎与说真话的发送者的视频，并判断陈述的真实性。未发现黑暗三性格特质中的任何一种与欺骗检测能力相关。超脱与反应偏差呈负相关。精神病态与总体信心判断相关。研究结果进一步支持了黑暗和适应不良人格特质与判断偏差相关，但与欺骗检测准确性无关的观点。所用人格简短量表的8个分量表中有4个的内部一致性仅较低且接近临界值（α系数 = 0.65 - 0.69）。
