Resumen de What's mine is mine and what¿s yours is mine: : The Dark Triad and gambling with your neighbor's money
Risking other people�s money for personal gain is a growing problem. Three traits (termed the Dark Triad) predicted selfish financial behavior: (a) reckless psychopathy, and (b) overconfident narcissism, and (c) strategic Machiavellianism. Participants in Study 1 completed Dark Triad measures and were randomly assigned to gamble with their own bonus or a bonus belonging to the next participant. Psychopathy correlated with gambling with someone else�s money, but not one�s own money, in a game of certain loss. Narcissism correlated with losing more of someone else�s money. Study 2 produced similar results even when participants� bonuses were untouched. Overall, psychopathy predicted gambling with someone else�s bonus, and narcissism predicted greater losses. These findings highlight differential financial consequences among the Dark Triad.
