Dark Triad Dynamics

High dark triad traits are linked to sexual deception and harassment, with individuals exhibiting these traits often misinterpreting social cues as sexual interest. This misperception, combined with a short-term mating strategy, leads to a higher likelihood of sexual coercion and intimate partner violence. Serial offenders dominate the landscape of sexual violence, with a small subset of men responsible for a disproportionate number of acts against multiple victims.
