People deceive for different reasons, from avoiding interpersonal conflicts to preserving, protecting, and nurturing interpersonal relationships, and to obtaining social status and power. A growing body of research highlights the role of personality in both deception detection and production, with a particular focus on high Dark Triad (DT) traits (Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy), for their shared tendency to engage in unethical self-benefitting behaviors, despite negative consequences for others. The main goal of the current scoping review was to bring together the studies investigating self-reported and performance-based deception production and detection performances, as presented in individuals characterized by high DT traits and point out the possible contribution of DT to deception research. To do so, we identified the relevant studies documenting the similarities and discrepancies between the three personality traits and presented their results, based on the procedure used for deception assessment: subjective or objective measurements for production / detection. Then, we discussed possible explanatory mechanisms for inter-individual differences in lie detection / production and argue for the contribution of DT to deception research beyond the typical personality models, particularly for the antisocial character of deception.
人们说谎的原因各不相同，从避免人际冲突到维护、保护和培养人际关系，再到获得社会地位和权力。越来越多的研究强调了人格在欺骗检测和产生中的作用，特别关注高暗黑三因素（Narcissism、Machiavellianism 和 Psychopathy），因为它们都倾向于从事不道德的自利行为，尽管对他人有负面影响。本研究的主要目的是将研究高暗黑三因素特征个体的自我报告和基于表现的欺骗产生和检测表现的研究汇集在一起，并指出 DT 对欺骗研究的可能贡献。为此，我们确定了相关研究，记录了三个人格特质之间的相似之处和差异，并根据欺骗评估所采用的程序呈现了他们的结果：产生/检测的主观或客观测量。然后，我们讨论了说谎检测/产生中个体差异的可能解释机制，并认为 DT 对欺骗研究的贡献超出了典型人格模型，特别是对于欺骗的反社会特征。
