In a nationally representative sample from Poland ( = 755), we examined the relationships between the Dark Triad traits (i.e., psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism) and collective narcissism (i.e., agentic and communal) on the one hand, and behaviors related to the COVID-19 pandemic at (1) the zero-order level, at (2) the latent variance level, and (3) indirectly through health beliefs about the virus (i.e., the health belief model) on the other. We focused on preventive and hoarding behaviors as common reactions toward the pandemic. Participants characterized by the Dark Triad traits engaged less in prevention and more in hoarding, whereas those characterized by collective narcissism engaged in more hoarding only. Coronavirus-related health beliefs mediated patterns of prevention (fully) and hoarding (partially) in the latent Dark Triad (Dark Core) and collective narcissism. However, specific beliefs worked in opposite directions, resulting in a weak indirect effect for prevention and a null indirect effect for hoarding. The results point to the utility of health beliefs in predicting behaviors during the pandemic, explaining (at least in part) problematic behaviors associated with the dark personalities (i.e., Dark Triad, collective narcissism).
在一个来自波兰的具有全国代表性的样本（(n = 755)）中，我们一方面考察了黑暗三性格特质（即心理变态、马基雅维利主义和自恋）与集体自恋（即能动性和社群性）之间的关系，另一方面考察了与新冠疫情相关的行为在（1）零阶水平、（2）潜在方差水平以及（3）通过对该病毒的健康信念（即健康信念模型）间接产生的关系。我们聚焦于预防行为和囤积行为，将其作为对疫情的常见反应。具有黑暗三性格特质的参与者较少参与预防行为，而更多地参与囤积行为，而具有集体自恋特质的参与者仅更多地参与囤积行为。与冠状病毒相关的健康信念在潜在的黑暗三性格特质（黑暗核心）和集体自恋中，对预防模式（完全）和囤积模式（部分）起到了中介作用。然而，具体信念的作用方向相反，导致预防行为的间接效应较弱，囤积行为的间接效应为零。研究结果表明健康信念在预测疫情期间的行为方面具有效用，（至少部分地）解释了与黑暗人格（即黑暗三性格特质、集体自恋）相关的问题行为。
