Sažetak
The aim of this study was to explore the relations of the Dark Triad and HEXACO traits on psychological distress, and whether there are gender differences in these relations. On a sample of 404 participants (50.5% females) from the general population in Serbia (Mage = 34.54, SD = 11.98), three measures were administered: CORE-OM, which measures 4 domains of psychological distress: Well-being, Symptoms, Functioning and Risks, Short Dark Triad (SD3), and HEXACO-60. Results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that the basic personality traits explained 20 to 40% of the variance of different forms of psychological distress in males, and 10 to 30% in females. Extraversion showed consistently negative and strong relations with all forms of distress, following by the emotionality (in positive direction) and conscientiousness (in negative direction) in both males and females. However, the Dark Triad traits, more specifically, psychopathy, contributed significantly above the basic personality traits only in males.
