20.500.12556/RUP-21788 In the constellation of dark personality traits a scoping review of the dark personality core Since the emergence of the Dark Triad/Dark Tetrad personality constructs, a growing body of literature has suggested a common core underlying socially aversive behaviors. With a multitude of diverse explanations on the horizon, the literature has become ambiguous and vague within the context of the dark personality framework, warranting further clarity. A scoping literature review was conducted by electronically searching five databases, yielding 12 articles included in the investigation. The results support the notion that the field of dark personality traits can progress from factorial trait labels toward a perspective where aversive traits are seen as emergent from interactions between individual components. These traits manifest as the most prominent candidate for the dark core, the Dark Factor of Personality (D), which encompasses the general tendency of malevolent characters in normal populations. The most notable measures in this context are the HEXACO model, with an emphasis on the Honesty-Humility dimension, and the D70, a set of items providing the most comprehensive representation of D. It is concluded that manifested socially aversive behaviors, accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications, parallel two main components: the Antagonism component (promoting disutility for others) and the Emotional component (deficits in affective empathy). dark personality core dark factor of personality dark triad dark tetrad HEXACO honesty-humility temno osebnostno jedro temni faktor osebnosti temna triada temna tetrada HEXACO poštenost-ponižnost true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-25 15:38:58 2025-09-25 15:38:59 2025-10-16 03:05:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 221-246 Vol. 18 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.923.3 1855-0541 10.5281/zenodo.15109949 230785539 RAZ_Cavlovic_Nik_2025.pdf RAZ_Cavlovic_Nik_2025.pdf 1 8EFF922A2FEA781EDAC7A72E53C3C901 1b1aba0f3a62dfd27e96c4fd5551b56f94207e5fcd24a8e581514d9ca5c6a94c 1e3e5f78-9a15-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31676 https://zenodo.org/records/15109949 0 80370191-9a15-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31678 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
