Abstract

The popular short Dark Triad (SD3) measure was translated into Chinese (SD3-C). In two large samples (total N = 950), we evaluated its psychometric properties, including: (a) factorial structure, and (b) reliability estimates and intercorrelations of the three subscales. The nomological network was explored by showing links with established personality models, namely, the Five-Factor and HEXACO models. Congruence coefficients showed a correspondence of factor loadings across English and Chinese versions as a first hint at measurement invariance. Overall, our results suggest that scores derived from the SD3-C behave similarly to the English SD3 and can be used for future research.
