Three socially aversive traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—have been studied as an overlapping constellation known as the Dark Triad. Here, we develop and validate the Short Dark Triad (SD3), a brief proxy measure. Four studies (total N = 1,063) examined the structure, reliability, and validity of the subscales in both community and student samples. In Studies 1 and 2, structural analyses yielded three factors with the final 27 items loading appropriately on their respective…

Psychometrics properties of the Spanish version of two Dark Triad scales: The Dirty Dozen and the Short Dark Triad
The Dark Triad refers to three malevolent personality traits, namely narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. The Dirty Dozen (DD) and Short Dark Triad (SD3) have been developed as concise…
A test of two brief measures of the dark triad: the dirty dozen and short dark triad.
TLDR
Overall, if a short measure of the DT is required, the SD3 yields data that are more consistent with these constructs as they are measured using more established and validated measures.

Examining the Factor Structure of the Hare Self-Report Psychopathy Scale
TLDR
The goal of this study was to elucidate the factor structure as well as the criterion-related, convergent, and discriminant validity of the measure in a large sample of college students and revealed the best fitting model was the original 4-factor model proposed by the authors of the Hare SRP.

Capturing the Four-Factor Structure of Psychopathy in College Students Via Self-Report
TLDR
links with self-reports of offensive activities (including entertainment preferences and behavior) supported the construct validity of the oblique four-factor model and exhibited appropriate construct validity in a nomological network of related personality measures.
Validating the factor structure of the Self-Report Psychopathy scale in a community sample.
TLDR
The analyses in the current study further investigated the viability of the SRP-III as a PCL-R-analogous measure of psychopathy in nonforensic and nonclinical samples by extending the validation process to a community sample and revealed that a four-factor oblique model for the SRp-III was most tenable, congruent with the PCl-R factor structure of Psychopathy.
