The dark triad and subjective well‐being: The mediating role of cognitive‐emotional regulation strategies
The dark triad (DT) is composed of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. These traits have usually been correlated with maladaptive strategies of emotion regulation. In turn, these types of strategies have shown a negative relationship with the components of subjective well‐being (SWB): affective well‐being (AWB) and cognitive well‐being (CWB). The principal objective of the present study was to analyze the possible mediating role of ada…
Impulsivity and sensitivity to reward as mediating factors of the negative relationship between emotional intelligence and health-related risk-taking: Evidence from a sample of university students
