"The Dark Factor of Personality (D)... defined as “the general tendency to maximize one’s individual utility—disregarding, accepting, or malevolently provoking disutility for others—accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications”... put simply, D is the underlying trait that predisposes individuals to engage in all kinds of aversive behaviors"..
