Abstracts
The aim of the study was to replicate previous empirical findings on the relationship between
Dark Triad, Behavioral activation system, Behavioral inhibition system, and financial risk taking. The online
experiment was conducted with 114 participants from the general population. Dark Triad traits, Behavioral
activation system and Behavioral inhibition system are not correlated with financial risk taking in behavioral
tasks. Results are interpreted in the context of existing findings on the relationship between the constructs.
Implications are given.
