Sažetak
Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy are subclinical socially aversive traits. Sadism refers to the cruel, demeaning or aggressive behaviours behaviour towards others in an effort to humiliate and dominate them and may play an important role in emotional intelligence, in addition to the Dark Triad traits. The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of the Dark Tetrad (psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and sadism) in explanation of four dimensions of emotional intelligence – self-emotion appraisal, others’ emotion appraisal, use of emotion, and regulation of emotion. The Short Dark Triad, Assessment of Sadistic Personality , and Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale were administered on a sample of 322 participants from the general population (63% female). The age of the participants ranged from 20 to 68 years (M = 37.45, SD = 11.07). As expected, Machiavellianism and narcissism were positively related (r = .28, p < .001). Consistent with our hypotheses, psychopathy negatively predicted self-emotion appraisal (β = -.23, p < .05), others’ emotion appraisal (β = -.25, p < .001), use of emotion (β = -.16, p < .05) and regulation of emotion (β = -.28, p < .01). Machiavellianism positively predicted regulation of emotion (β = .19, p < .01), while narcissism significantly predicted use of emotion (β = .43, p < .001), and regulation of emotion (β = .16, p < .01). As expected, sadism negatively predicted self-emotion appraisal (β = -.23, p < .05), others’ emotion appraisal (β = -.22, p < .01), and use of emotion (β = -.17, p < .05). Contrary to prediction, sadism was unrelated to regulation of emotion (β = -.10, p = .22). Psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism together accounted for 6% of the variance in self-emotion appraisal [F (5, 317) = 2.76, p < .05], 5% of the variance in others’ emotion appraisal [F (5, 317) = 4.70, p < .001], 17% of the variance in use of emotion [F (5, 317) = 11.10, p < .001], and 9% of the variance in regulation of emotion [F (5, 317) = 5.65, p < .001]. Furthermore, the results showed that sadism did add incrementally to psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism in accounting for variance in self-emotion appraisal (ΔR2 = .03, F[6, 316] = 3.19, p <.01), others’ emotion appraisal (ΔR2 = .02, F[6, 316] = 5.22, p <.01), and use of emotion (ΔR2 = .02, F[6, 316] = 10.95, p <.001). The results highlighted the importance of the Dark Tetrad traits in the explanation of emotional intelligence and showed that the Dark Tetrad is differently associated with dimensions of emotional intelligence.
