This survey (N = 224)found that characteristics collectively known as the Dark Triad (i.e. narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) were correlated with various dimensions of short-term mating but not long-term. mating. The link between the Dark Triad and short-term mating was stronger for men than for women. The Dark Triad partially mediated the sex difference in short-term mating behaviour: Findings arc, consistent with a view that the Dark Triad facilitates an exploitative, short-term mating strategy in men. Possible implications, including that Dark Triad traits represent a bundle of individual differences that promote a reproductively adaptive strategy are discussed. Findings arc, discussed in the broad context of how an evolutionary approach to personality psychology can enhance our understanding of individual differences.
