dc.description.abstract Sociosexual orientation-the tendency toward casual sex, is associated with dispositional components of personality such as higher scores of Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy). Yet, it remains unknown which specific Dark Triad traits and Light Triad traits (Kantianism, Humanism, and Faith in Humanity) predict sociosexuality and its dimensions while controlling for the others. In the current study, using an online community sample (N = 308), we examined the links between Dark Triad traits, Light Triad traits, overall sociosexuality, and sociosexuality dimensions (attitude, behavior, desire). Using hierarchical regression, we found that only psychopathy emerged as the predictor of behavior, desire, attitude dimensions, and sociosexuality total score. This effect held when controlling for age, sex, relationship status, the other two Dark personality traits, and the Light Triad. Results suggest that individuals high on psychopathy have a greater tendency toward uncommitted relationships. en_US
