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.
过去 15 年来，“黑暗人格三特质”（即自恋、精神病态、马基雅维利主义）受到了广泛关注。我们在来自三个 W.E.I.R.D.（即北美、大洋洲、西欧）和五个非 W.E.I.R.D.（即亚洲、中东、非西欧、南美、撒哈拉以南非洲）世界地区的 11488 名参与者样本中，检验了这些特质测量工具——“黑暗人格十三特质”（DTDD）的结构。结果表明，在所有世界地区，男性在所有特质上的得分均高于女性（亚洲的精神病态得分除外，其差异不显著），该测量工具在所有世界地区的参与者性别上均具有测量不变性。我们还在 W.E.I.R.D.和非 W.E.I.R.D.世界地区内和地区之间发现了度量（和部分标度）测量不变性的证据。总体而言，研究结果支持 DTDD 的结构。
