Abstract
The first chapter sets the scene for the rest of the book, introducing the Dark Triad in the light of clinical, forensic, and personality literature. I will discuss briefly the historical background of the Dark Triad as a personality constellation and evaluate the traits in the nomological network with other personality traits. I will demonstrate how the traits relate to outcomes such as empathy, risk-taking, and impulsivity. This chapter is also going to include discussion of the Dark Triad from etiological point of view, looking into evolutionary theories, genetics, and environmental factors. The chapter contains a brief overview of sex differences, as well as an evaluation of different questionnaire measures for the Dark Triad. I will also discuss the concept of the Dark Tetrad (i.e., Dark Triad and sadism). Finally, the shortcomings in the current research will be highlighted.
