‘I did it for the LULZ’: How the dark personality predicts online disinhibition and aggressive online behavior in adolescence

作者：

Highlights：

• Adolescent narcissism, sadism, psychopathy, and false self perceptions predict online disinhibition.

• Perceptions of false self were found to be a significant predictor of cyber aggression when mediated by online disinhibition.

• Sadistic traits and online disinhibition were found to be significant direct predictors of cyber aggression.

• All three dark traits are predictive of cyber aggression through the indirect role of increased disinhibition.
