虽然所有三个黑暗三合会成员都倾向于利用人际关系，但他们的动机和策略各不相同。在这里，我们通过5项关于不诚实行为的研究（总N = 1750）来探索他们独特的动态。所有这三个特征都预示着在抛硬币任务中作弊，而被发现的风险很小（研究1）。只有精神病患者才会在惩罚有严重风险时预测作弊（研究2）。马基雅维利主义者也会在高风险下作弊——但前提是他们自我耗尽（研究3）。当需要一个故意的谎言时，精神病和马基雅维利主义都能预测作弊（研究4）。最后，那些自恋程度高的人表现出最高程度的自我欺骗偏见（研究5）。总之，黑暗三合会成员表里不一。他们不诚实的频率和性质受三个背景因素的影响：风险水平、自我损耗和欺骗的目标。这些不同形式的表里不一的证据有助于澄清黑暗三合会成员之间的差异，并阐明不同程度的不诚实。
Although all 3 of the Dark Triad members are predisposed to engage in exploitative interpersonal behavior, their motivations and tactics vary. Here we explore their distinctive dynamics with 5 behavioral studies of dishonesty (total N = 1,750). All 3 traits predicted cheating on a coin-flipping task when there was little risk of being caught (Study 1). Only psychopathy predicted cheating when punishment was a serious risk (Study 2). Machiavellian individuals also cheated under high risk-but only if they were ego-depleted (Study 3). Both psychopathy and Machiavellianism predicted cheating when it required an intentional lie (Study 4). Finally, those high in narcissism showed the highest levels of self-deceptive bias (Study 5). In sum, duplicitous behavior is far from uniform across the Dark Triad members. The frequency and nature of their dishonesty is moderated by 3 contextual factors: level of risk, ego depletion, and target of deception. This evidence for distinctive forms of duplicity helps clarify differences among the Dark Triad members as well as illuminating different shades of dishonesty.
