Abstract：
The Short Dark Tetrad (SD4) was developed as a brief measure of the Dark Tetrad, which comprises narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism. Previous research suggests the possibility of cultural differences in these traits in Western and Eastern cultures. We developed and validated the Chinese form of SD4 (C-SD4) cross four studies in a large sample (total N = 3181) to assist in solving problems caused by these differences. In study 1, we adjusted the item pool on the basis of the original form of SD4. In Study 2, we trimmed the scale to generate a 28-item version of C-SD4 and examined correlations with Big-5. In study 3, we examined the internal structure, measurement invariance, and criterion validity of the C-SD4. In study 4 we examined C-SD4 test-retest reliability and compared item content to standard measures. This package of studies suggests that the C-SD4 is a reliable and valid measure of the Dark Tetrad in Chinese participants.
摘要：
短暗四方形（SD4）是作为暗四方形的简要测量而开发的，包括自恋，马基雅维利主义,精神病,和虐待狂。先前的研究表明，在西方和东方文化中，这些特征存在文化差异的可能性。我们在大样本（总N=3181）中开发并验证了SD4的中文形式（C-SD4）交叉四项研究，以帮助解决由这些差异引起的问题。在研究1中，我们在SD4的原始形式的基础上调整了项目池。在研究2中，我们调整了量表以生成C-SD4的28项版本，并检查了与Big-5的相关性。在研究3中，我们检查了内部结构，测量不变性，和C-SD4的标准有效性。在研究4中，我们检查了C-SD4重测可靠性，并将项目内容与标准指标进行了比较。这一系列研究表明，C-SD4是中国参与者中黑暗四重奏的可靠和有效的量度。
