Resumo
Objetivo. Este estudo objetivou verificar as relações entre os traços da personalidade sombria e as dimensões da agressividade. Método. Participaram 208 indivíduos da população geral, com média de idade de 26.83 anos (DP = 8.99). Foram utilizadas as seguintes medidas: Dark Triad Dirty Dozen, Questionário de Agressividade de Buss-Perry e questionário sociodemográfico. Os dados foram explorados pelos softwares SPSS e JASP. Resultados. Os resultados mostraram que os traços de personalidade sombria, narcisismo, maquiavelismo e psicopatia se correlacionaram positivamente com os quatro fatores de agressividade. Além disso, os traços de personalidade sombria apresentaram efeitos diretos e indiretos, mediados pela raiva e hostilidade, na agressão física e verbal. Conclui-se que os sentimentos (hostis) e a emoção (raiva) podem contribuir na perpetuação de comportamentos agressivos.
