Would the Real Trait Sadism Please Stand Up? On the Factor Structure of Trait Sadism
Valuing others over oneself
People pleasing refers to a tendency to prioritize the needs and goals of others over the own needs and goals, which arguably goes along with a manifold of psychological consequences for individuals high in people pleasing. In two preregistered studies involving students and community members alike ( n 1 = 571, n 2 = 1,323), a 10-item People Pleasing Scale was developed and validated. Study 1 revealed three dimensions of people pleasing, namely R…
The Machiavellian Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire
Researchers on antagonistic personality traits debate about an appropriate measurement approach to Machiavellianism. One measure intended to resolve this discourse, the Machiavellian Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire (MAAQ), distinguishes motivational aspects of Machiavellianism (https://doi.org/10.1037/pas0001069). Machiavellian Approach reflects strategic striving for advantages (even at others’ expense), and Machiavellian Avoidance encompas…

Measures of Subclinical Psychopathy and Everyday Sadism are Still Redundant
OBJECTIVE: Various psychological concepts with different names reflect essentially the same content. A recent study (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2023.112102) found short scales of subclinical psychopathy and everyday sadism to be affected by this so-called jangle fallacy: Latent factors of psychopathy and everyday sadism were almost perfectly correlated, the nomological networks of psychopathy and sadism measures were almost identical, and in …
The Machiavellian bully revisited
Numerous studies on personality traits conducive to traditional bullying and cyberbullying mentioned Machiavellianism as an influential predictor of these behaviors. Machiavellianism comprises manipulative, egotistic orientations that help acquire desired outcomes. However, it is questionable whether bullying and cyberbullying reflect unidimensional constructs since they are frequently categorized into verbal, relational, and physical aspects (wi…
