Sažetak
The Dark Tetrad personality traits (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism) have been continuously linked to various deficits in affective processing and emotional reactivity. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship of the Dark Tetrad traits and processing of emotional pictures. A total of 144 participants (56.9% female, Mage = 22.18, SDage = 2.26) completed measures of the Dark Tetrad, and rated 35 pictures selected form the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Pictures were classified in accordance with their valence (positive/negative) and arousal (calming/exciting) norms into three categories: positive, neutral, and negative. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that dark traits explained 11% of variance of valence ratings of positive pictures over and above sex, with higher narcissism and lower sadism predicting more positive ratings. The contribution of dark traits was marginally significant, over and above sex, to the explanation of valence of negative pictures ratings, with higher sadism predicting more positive ratings. Finally, dark traits did not significantly contribute to the explanation of the valence and arousal ratings of neutral pictures, although sadism was marginally significant negative predictor of higher positive ratings. Interestingly, the dark traits were related only to valence, but not arousal ratings. Moreover, the results of this study indicated that, among the Dark Tetrad traits, sadism emerged as the most important dark trait in prediction of affective processing, highlighting the significance of sadism in the Dark Tetrad constellation.
