ABSTRACT

Objective

Few studies have investigated the Dark Triad and its impact on behaviour in Saudi Arabia, mostly due to the lack of validated instruments. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen, in the context of Saudi Arabia.

Method

A sample of 1,329 respondents (59.8% female, mean age = 26.79, SD = 8.47) completed a survey containing the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DD), the Corruption Propensity Scale and the Propensity to Morally Disengage scale, as well as a demographics questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance across gender, internal consistency reliability analysis, test–retest reliability analysis, and concurrent and convergent validity analyses were performed to validate the DD.

Results

The CFA supported a three-factor model with adequate factor loadings ranging between 0.29 and 0.83 and sufficient fit indices. The scale was gender invariant. The internal consistency reliability and test–retest reliability were adequate (0.70–0.86 and 0.58–0.75, respectively). Moderate-to-high Pearson correlations supported the convergent and concurrent validity of the scale.

Conclusion

The Dark Triad Dirty Dozen is a reliable and valid measure that can be used in Saudi Arabia.

阿拉伯语版本的黑暗三合会肮脏打量表的心理测量学特性

摘要

客观的

很少有研究调查黑暗三合会及其对沙特阿拉伯行为的影响，主要是由于缺乏经过验证的工具。本研究的目的是在沙特阿拉伯的背景下调查黑暗三合会的心理测量学特性。

方法

1,329 名受访者的样本（59.8% 女性，平均年龄 = 26.79，SD = 8.47）完成了一项调查，其中包含黑暗三合会十几个 (DD)、腐败倾向量表和道德脱离倾向量表，以及人口统计问卷. 验证性因素分析、跨性别测量不变性、内部一致性信度分析、重测信度分析以及并发和收敛效度分析用于验证 DD。

结果

CFA 支持一个三因子模型，该模型具有足够的因子负载，介于 0.29 和 0.83 之间，并且具有足够的拟合指数。量表是性别不变的。内部一致性信度和重测信度是足够的（分别为 0.70-0.86 和 0.58-0.75）。中到高的 Pearson 相关性支持该量表的收敛性和同时性有效性。

结论

Dark Triad Dirty Dozen 是可在沙特阿拉伯使用的可靠且有效的措施。
