“Some studies have investigated associations between individual DT traits and IPV (Hamberger & Hastings, 1990; Rosen, 1991; Baumeister, Smart, & Boden, 1996; Juodis, Starzomski, Porter, & Woodworth, 2014), but there has been less investigation of the relationship between the full DT and IPV.”

“…2016; Papps & O'Carroll, 1998), and previous research indicating a relationship between Dark Triad traits and partner violence (e.g., Brewer & Abell, 2017b; Carton & Egan, 2017), we predicted women high on each Dark Triad trait would be more likely to engage in controlling relationship behavior.”

“…with high levels of these personality traits have been found likely to engage in socially aversive behaviors, such as cyberbullying (van Geel, Goemans, Toprak, & Vedder, 2017), trolling (Buckels, Trapnell, & Paulhus, 2014), and intimate partner violence (Carton & Egan, 2017) among others.”
