Abstract：
This study analyzed the effects of the Dark Tetrad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism) and self-concealment on social appearance anxiety. Empirical investigations on which personality traits influence social appearance anxiety are yet missing. In this study, a sample of N = 1186 Chinese students performed a questionnaire-based survey assessing different personality facets and social appearance anxiety tendencies. Measures included the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, the Machiavellian Personality Scale, the Short Sadistic Impulse Scale, the Self-concealment Scale, and the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that psychopathy, Machiavellianism, sadism, and self-concealment positively predicted social appearance anxiety and narcissism negatively predicted social appearance anxiety. Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism, and self-concealment were positive predictors of social appearance anxiety, whereas narcissism was a negative predictor. These findings provide insight into the complex nature of the Dark Tetrad and their influence on social appearance anxiety.
摘要：
这项研究分析了黑暗四重奏(自恋，马基雅维利主义,精神病,虐待狂）和对社交外表焦虑的自我掩饰。关于人格特质影响社交外观焦虑的实证研究尚不清楚。在这项研究中,一个N=1186名中国学生的样本进行了一项基于问卷的调查，评估了不同的人格方面和社交外观焦虑倾向。措施包括自恋人格量表，Levenson自我报告精神病量表,马基雅维式人格量表，短暂的虐待狂冲动量表，自我隐藏量表，和社会外观焦虑量表。多元回归分析结果显示,马基雅维利主义,虐待狂,自我隐瞒正预测社交外观焦虑，自恋负预测社交外观焦虑。马基雅维利主义,精神病,虐待狂,和自我隐瞒是社交外表焦虑的积极预测因素，而自恋是一个消极的预测因素。这些发现提供了深入了解黑暗四重奏的复杂性质及其对社交外观焦虑的影响。
