- Tétrade negra de personalidade, robustez mental e comportamentos de bullying no ensino superiorPublication . Jesus, Hélder Tomé Pestana; Rodrigues, Nuno Miguel VieiraBullying is a complex problem in higher education that is receiving increasing attention in the literature. The current study addresses this phenomenon and aims to contribute to the existing literature by examining the role of the dark tetrad of personality and the trait of mental toughness in predicting the extent to which college students perpetrate and are victims of bullying behaviours. A cross-sectional design was used to collect students' self reports of the dark personality tetrad and mental toughness, as well as their perceptions of the extent to which they had been perpetrators and victims of bullying behaviour towards others in the past six months. Using a sample of 366 university students, results showed that the dark traits of narcissism and everyday sadism positively influenced bullying aggression, whereas Machiavellianism and psychopathy emerged as significant and positive antecedents of bullying victimisation. In addition, mental toughness had a negative effect on both criteria, even when the effects of the dark tetrad of personality were taken into account. These findings suggest that these personality dispositions play a distinct role in bullying aggression and bullying victimisation, and support that these complex phenomena are also explained by individual dispositions. The main theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed in the context of preventing and mitigating bullying in higher education settings.
