Sažetak
Is study aimed to investigate whether the relations of the Dark Triad (above the basic personality traits) with life satisfaction and negative emotional states (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) differ across sex. Data were collected on a sample of 650 students (60% females, Mage = 21.73 years ; SDage = 1.94) from various faculties of the University of Zagreb, Croatia. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that gender and the Big Five traits explained 13% of the variance of life satisfaction, 29% of the variance of depression, 31% of the variance of anxiety, and 37% of the variance of stress in the first step. The Dark Triad explained an additional 1% of the variance of only stress, with psychopathy being the only significant predictor among the dark traits. The interaction of gender and the dark traits significantly contributed only to the explanation of life satisfaction, with narcissism moderating the relations between life satisfaction and the Dark Triad. Taken together, the results point to the importance of both basic and dark traits in predicting life satisfaction and negative emotional states, and the importance of taking gender differences in these relations into account.
