摘要：
Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, while positive parenting practices correlate with narcissism. Objective: We investigated whether ACEs and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) predict Dark Tetrad traits, and whether PCEs moderate these relationships. Participants and Setting: A total of 931 participants (283 men, 632 women, 16 non-binary; Mage = 35.72 years, SD = 12.52) completed an online survey. Method: Participants completed the NPI, SRP-III, Mach-IV, SIS, CES-17, and the BCES. Results: ACEs predicted psychopathy, narcissism, and sadism, while PCEs were positively associated with narcissism. PCEs moderated the relationships between ACEs and (a) psychopathy, and (b) sadism. Conclusions: The findings highlight the protective role PCEs play in the development of certain Dark Tetrad traits.
