BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Despite indications that the dark triad of personality might be associated with Internet-use disorder (IUD), research about these associations is lacking.
METHODS
Two studies were performed to grasp the links between these variables. In the first study, a sample consisting of N = 468 participants (n = 130 males) filled in the Short Dark Triad Questionnaire to assess scores in the dark triad of personality and the short Internet Addiction Test to assess tendencies toward unspecified IUD. In the second study, another independent sample of N = 472 participants (n = 143 males) filled in the same questionnaires plus items about specific forms of IUD.
RESULTS
Traits Machiavellianism and psychopathy were positively linked to tendencies toward unspecified IUD in both samples and males and females. Regarding the associations between tendencies toward specific IUDs and the dark triad of personality, no significant associations were found in males (at least not passing correction procedures for multiple testing). In females, trait Machiavellianism/psychopathy and tendencies toward Internet-shopping disorder, trait psychopathy, and tendencies toward Internet-pornography-use disorder as well as trait Machiavellianism and tendencies toward Internet-communication disorder were significantly positively correlated [at least one of the (sub)scales assessing the respective specific IUD was significantly associated with the respective dark triad trait even after correction procedures for multiple testing]. No robust pattern of associations between trait narcissism and unspecified/specific forms of IUD could be observed across (sub)samples.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
These results indicate positive associations of the traits Machiavellianism and psychopathy (on a subclinical level) with tendencies toward IUD, especially unspecified IUD. The associations with tendencies toward specific forms of IUD seem more complex with differential personality correlates for each specific IUD. These associations need to be replicated.
背景和目的
尽管有迹象表明，人格的黑暗三因素可能与网络使用障碍（IUD）有关，但关于这些关联的研究还很缺乏。
方法
进行了两项研究，以了解这些变量之间的联系。在第一项研究中，一个由 N=468 名参与者（n=130 名男性）组成的样本填写了简短的黑暗三因素问卷，以评估人格的黑暗三因素得分和简短的网络成瘾测试，以评估未指定的 IUD 倾向。在第二项研究中，另一个独立的 N=472 名参与者（n=143 名男性）样本填写了相同的问卷，外加关于特定形式的 IUD 的项目。
结果
在两个样本中，男性和女性的马基雅维利主义和精神病态特质与未指定的 IUD 倾向呈正相关。关于特定的 IUD 倾向与黑暗三因素人格之间的关联，在男性中没有发现显著关联（至少没有通过多重检验的校正程序）。在女性中，特质马基雅维利主义/精神病态与网络购物障碍、特质精神病态和网络色情使用障碍以及特质马基雅维利主义和网络交流障碍的倾向显著正相关[至少有一个评估各自特定 IUD 的（子）量表与各自的黑暗三因素特质显著相关，即使在进行了多重检验的校正程序之后]。在（子）样本中，没有观察到特质自恋与未指定/特定形式的 IUD 之间存在稳健的关联模式。
讨论和结论
这些结果表明，马基雅维利主义和精神病态特质（处于亚临床水平）与 IUD 倾向，尤其是未指定的 IUD 倾向呈正相关。与特定形式的 IUD 倾向的关联似乎更为复杂，因为每种特定的 IUD 都有不同的人格相关因素。这些关联需要复制。
