This comprehensive review summarizes and evaluates the present state of the Dark Triad research literature (or more broadly, the dark personality trait literature), and as such serves both a pedagogical purpose, by providing an introduction or primer on the dark personality literature and a scientific purpose by directing future research on key issues that still have not been sufficiently addressed. In this review, we discuss and critique current operational conceptualizations of what it means for a personality trait to be classified as 'dark'. Also discussed is the Dark Core, as well as quantitative issues such as limitations of commonly used statistical treatments, such as multivariate analyses, bifactor modeling, and composite measures, and proposed solutions to some of these issues. Based on a comprehensive and critical appraisal of the literature, future directions are suggested to drive the dark trait field towards a more organized, parsimonious, and productive future.
这篇全面的综述总结和评估了黑暗人格特质研究文献的现状（或者更广泛地说，黑暗人格特质文献），因此既具有教学目的，即提供有关黑暗人格特质文献的介绍或入门知识，也具有科学目的，即指导针对尚未充分解决的关键问题的未来研究。在这篇综述中，我们讨论并批评了当前对人格特质被归类为“黑暗”的含义的操作概念化。我们还讨论了黑暗核心，以及定量问题，例如常用统计处理方法（如多元分析、双因素模型和综合测量）的局限性，以及解决其中一些问题的建议。基于对文献的全面和批判性评估，提出了未来的方向，以推动黑暗特质领域朝着更有条理、更简约、更有成效的未来发展。
