Abstract：
(1) Background: The dark triad refers to a personality configuration mainly characterized by the presence of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Even though adolescence is a critical stage in the development of dark triad traits, to date, this construct has not been studied among adolescents, mainly due to the lack of a measurement instrument adapted to this population. (2) Methods: Using a sample of 1642 adolescents, an adaptation of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) is proposed for this population. To this end, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis of the scale and examined its reliability and the intensity of the dark triad components by sex and sexual orientation. (3) Results: The adapted version of the scale (The Short Dark Triad-Adolescent Version; SD3-A) yielded good psychometric results. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the theoretical model of the three factors of dark personality. The results confirmed the greater presence of dark traits in male adolescents, and differences were observed based on sexual orientation. (4) Conclusions: The Short Dark Triad-Adolescent Version (SD3-A) is an effective and comprehensive instrument for the estimation of dark traits in adolescents and can be used as a screening test for this population.
摘要：
（1）背景：黑暗三合会是指一种以马基雅维利主义存在为主要特征的人格配置，自恋,和精神病。尽管青春期是黑暗三合会特征发展的关键阶段，到目前为止,这种结构尚未在青少年中进行研究，主要是由于缺乏适应这一人群的测量仪器。(2)方法：以1642名青少年为样本，提出了对该种群的短暗三合会（SD3）的改编。为此,我们对量表进行了验证性因素分析，并按性别和性取向检查了其可靠性和暗三联征成分的强度。（3）结果：量表的改编版本（短黑社会青少年版；SD3-A）产生了良好的心理测量结果。验证性因子分析证实了暗人格三因素的理论模型。结果证实了男性青少年中更多存在黑暗特征，并根据性取向观察到差异。（4）结论：短暗三青少年版（SD3-A）是估算青少年暗性状的有效而全面的工具，可作为该人群的筛选测试。
