People who are relatively short and those who wish to be taller tend to have more “Dark Triad” traits, according to new research published in Personality and Individual Differences.
The findings suggest that short individuals may engage in antagonistic behaviors in an attempt to offset their height disadvantage.
The Dark Triad refers to a set of three related personality traits: Psychopathy, Narcissism, and Machiavellianism.
Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of empathy and remorse, impulsivity, and a disregard for social norms and rules.
Narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, entitlement, and a need for admiration.
Machiavellianism refers to a tendency to be manipulative, cynical, and lacking in morality.
