A growing body of research suggests a link between Dark Triad personality traits and cyber aggression but inconsistencies exist. These inconsistencies may be due to limitations in past studies (e.g., using single measures of cyber aggression, summing up individual Dark Triad measures without assessing their interactions, and/or over-relying on cross-sectional data). To address these gaps, this innovative study followed a large sample of Taiwanese (N = 880) and employed a longitudinal design to examine the main and potentially interactive effects of individual Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) on three specific forms of indirect cyber aggression (cyberstalking, exclusion, and outing) assessed one year apart. By investigating these relationships over time, this longitudinal study aims to shed light on the nuanced interplay between personality and online misconduct. Findings reveal a significant interaction between Machiavellianism and narcissism, such that individuals high in both traits exhibit a greater propensity for all three forms of indirect cyber aggression. Moreover, individuals high on both psychopathy and narcissism are more likely to engage in outing behaviors, potentially due to the ease of accessing personal information online. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between personality and online aggression.

越来越多的研究表明，黑暗三联征人格特质与网络欺凌之间存在关联，但这些研究中也存在一些不一致之处。这些差异可能是因为过去的研究存在局限性（例如，仅使用单一的网络攻击量表、将个体黑暗三联征的不同维度简单相加而未评估其相互作用以及/或过度依赖横断面数据）。为了弥补这些不足，这项创新性的研究跟踪了一组大型台湾样本（N = 880），并采用纵向设计来考察个体黑暗三联征特质（马基雅维利主义、自恋和心理变态）对三种具体的间接网络攻击形式（网络骚扰、排斥和曝光）的主要效应及其潜在交互作用，这些行为分别在一年后进行评估。通过调查这些关系随时间的变化，这项纵向研究旨在揭示人格与在线不当行为之间复杂互动的细微之处。研究结果表明，马基雅维利主义与自恋之间的相互作用显著，即同时具有这两种特质的人在所有三种间接网络攻击形式上表现出更高的倾向性。此外，心理变态和自恋得分较高的人更有可能进行曝光行为，这可能是因为在线获取个人资料更为容易。这些发现有助于加深我们对人格与网络攻击复杂互动的理解。
