Sažetak
Socially malevolent traits known as the Dark Triad (DT) traits have constantly been shown as prominent predictors of aggression, but are they solely enough to explain it? The aim of this study was to explore contribution of HEXACO traits over DT traits in prediction of two functions of aggression (reactive and proactive). On a sample of 676 (50% male) participants from general population, HEXACO-60 and SD3 were administrated. Results of hierarchical regression analyses show that DT explains 19% of variance of reactive and 22% of proactive aggression, with significant contributions of psychopathy and Machiavellianism. The HEXACO traits explained additional 10% of variance of reactive and 4% of proactive aggression, and the only significant contributor was Agreeableness, in the negative direction. These findings suggest that, when it comes to personality traits and aggression, there is still some room to fit in.
