Examining the Role of Gender on Empathy and Aggression within the Dark Triad of Personality

In this study, we hypothesized that gender would have a moderating effect within the Dark Triad and the expressive behaviors of aggression and empathy. A liner regression analysis conducted across two studies (Study 1: N=173; Study 2: N=243) revealed a significant interaction effect between Machiavellianism and gender on aggressive behavior.
