- Abstract
Based on recent investigations of variables considered socially desirable, such as character strengths and virtues, proposals have been initiated that aim to analyze how these characteristics behave when underused or overused. A set of traits known for their extreme and antagonistic characteristics are the variables of the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy). This study aimed to analyze, from a multivariate model, the contribution of virtues in explaining the Dark Triad. Participants were 284 adults, aged 18 to 65 years (M=29.06; SD=9.73); who responded to the Escala de Forças de Caráter and the Short Dark Triad. Based on the restricted path analysis model, the results indicated that the interpersonal virtues, courage, humanity and self-regulation explained the dark dimensions. When underused or overused, virtues can act as possible predictors of socially undesirable behaviors, such as the Dark Triad.
