Edits: The Dark Tetrad
Sadism shares common characteristics with psychopathy and antisocial behavior (lack of empathy, readiness for emotional involvement, inflicting suffering), although Reidy et al. (2011) showed that sadism distinctively predicted unprovoked aggression separate from psychopathy.

Furthermore, sadism predicted delinquent behavior separately from the other dark triad traits when evaluating high school students.

Harmful behavior against living creatures, brutal and destructive amoral dispositions, and criminal recidivism were additionally more prominently predicted by sadism than psychopathic traits.

Studies on how sadists gain pleasure from cruelty to subjects were applied towards testing people who possessed dark triad traits. Results showed that only people exhibiting traits of sadism derived a sense of pleasure from acts of cruelty, concluding that sadism encompasses distinctly cruel traits not covered by the rest of the dark triad, therefore deserving of its position within the dark tetrad.

Edits: The Light Triad
* editing the article at the end of the third sentence:

Kaufman (2019) showed that the light triad could be measured with a reliable scale and is distinct from the inverse of the dark triad's Big Five and HEXACO model traits. The light triad predicts positive and negative outcomes regarding Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility and expands on understanding the dark triad as a useful contrasting analog.

* edit to the fourth sentence: adding "...higher self-esteem, authenticity, stronger sense of self, positive enthusiasm, having a quiet ego..."

Additionally, those who score higher on the light triad scale are overall intellectually curious, secure in their attachments to others, and are more tolerant to other perspectives. Individuals with high light triad scale scores also tend to have lower need for power over others. Older females with less childhood unpredictability typically score high on the light triad scale as well.


 * edit will expand on humanism, kantianism, and faith in humanity after the first sentence of the first paragraph

High scorers on humanism are more likely to value other's dignity and self worth. High scorers on Kantianism are more likely to see others as people, not as a means to an end. High scorers for faith in humanity are more likely to believe others are fundamentally good.

When comparing individuals who take both dark triad and light triad tests, the average person skewed substantially towards light triad traits.

Peer Review
I think you have a pretty good start and know what kinds of information you're looking to add. One thing I noticed is that your subheadings tend to use the same sources so you might want to find another one or two per subheading to help verify/add information. Also, if you wanted to, you could think about finding more information to add to the Biological and Components sections. Otherwise, the sources seem great and reliable and the edits are well written.CourtneyLynn33 (talk) 07:15, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review pt 2
I think the information you've started to pull for the article is really strong and the additions are well written. I agree with Courtney about adding to Biological (under Origins) but also suggest adding more about the Vulnerable Dark Triad. Also under Dark Tetrad after adding in the information about sadism, I suggest if possible finding a little more about why Borderline PD and status-driven risk-taking are possible additions to the triad so that it can be a second paragraph/point under dark tetrad. The way it is right now, to me, it was a little confusing because it came right after two statements about sadism but didn't give specifics for why the latter should be added, so it seems jumpy.
