Psychometric validation of the French version of the Moral Injury Outcome Scale (Mios)
Overall, the French version of the MIOS is a valid and reliable measure, enabling robust assessment of moral injury among French-speaking populations and broadening its applicability in research and clinical settings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
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…
The Relationships Between Facets of Emotional Intelligence and Facets of the Dark Triad
Investigations of the Dark Triad traits and trait emotional intelligence (EI) have not closely examined potentially meaningful relationships among these traits at the facet level. The goal of this study was to examine these associations in greater detail by assessing the relationships between factors of trait EI and facets of the Dark Triad traits. Participants included 406 university students ( M = 21.38 years, SD = 5.32). Results showed that th…
Self‐Report and Behavioural Procrastination in Relation to the Dark Triad Traits
This article reports on a short‐term longitudinal study exploring self‐reported and behavioural procrastination of 298 German university students taking a 15‐week statistics course. More specifically, associations between the Dark Triad traits and two self‐report procrastination measures and one behavioural procrastination task (i.e., a comparison between actual and planned study time) were examined. Both psychopathy and narcissism were correlate…
Physical and psychological challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel relief workers supporting natural disaster operations
Natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, result in devastating consequences at the individual and community levels. To date, much of the research reflecting the consequences of natural disasters focuses heavily on victims, with little attention paid to the personnel responding to such disasters. We conducted a systematic review of the challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel supporting natural dis…
Dark Triad, Dyad, or Core? A Psychometric Evaluation of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) Across Three Countries
Since its introduction to personality psychology literature in 2002, the study of Dark Triad personality traits has gained traction across nations. However, there exists theoretical debate regarding the empirical distinctiveness of traits. Moreover, despite universal study across countries, the Short Dark Triad (SD3) lacks validation for use in all populations. The objective of this study was to scrutinise SD3 performance across three nations, in…
What makes a leader? Trait emotional intelligence and Dark Tetrad traits predict transformational leadership beyond Hexaco personality factors
The Revised Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP-8)
Subclinical sadism, characterized by infliction of cruelty, aggression, or humiliation on another for subjugation or pleasure, provides important information in the prediction of aversive behaviors that have implications for individuals’ and society’s well-being worldwide. Given sadism’s universal relevance, it is imperative that researchers ensure valid and reliable trait measurement not only among English-speaking individuals, but also cross-na…
The role of dark personality traits in intimate partner violence
Defining and Assessing the Syndrome of Moral Injury
Potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) entail acts of commission (e.g., cruelty, proscribed or prescribed violence) or omission (e.g., high stakes failure to protect others) and bearing witness (e.g., to grave inhumanity, to the gruesome aftermath of violence), or being the victim of others' acts of commission (e.g., high stakes trust violations) or omission (e.g., being the victim of grave individual or systemic failures to protect) that t…
Risk Factors for Moral Injury Among Canadian Armed Forces Personnel
Exposure to stressful deployment experiences, particularly those involving moral-ethical challenges, sexual trauma, and childhood maltreatment were found to increase levels of MI in CAF personnel. These findings suggest several avenues of intervention, including education and policies aimed at mitigating sexual misconduct, as well as pre-deployment training to better prepare military personnel to deal effectively with morally injurious experience…
Do you “like” me? The roles of Facebook reassurance seeking and attachment style on depression
Excessive reassurance seeking and insecure attachment are known risk factors for depression. However, with the digitization of relationships through social media, it is unclear how these interpersonal vulnerabilities correspond to an online context. The objective of this study was to expand interpersonal theories of depression by evaluating online social behavior. This study assessed the influence of Facebook reassurance seeking on concurrent dep…
