Kekerasan berbasis gender terjadi secara global. Di Indonesia, sikap seksis yang ambivalen terhadap perempuan banyak membuat perempuan mengalami kekerasan namun disaat yang sama juga mengalami perlakuan spesial, seperti gerbong kereta khusus perempuan. Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara sikap tersebut dengan tipe kepribadian narcissism, machiavellianism, dan psychopathy. Hal yang masih belum jelas adalah bagaimana peran ketiga tipe kepribadian tersebut sebagai dark triad personality dalam memprediksi sikap ambivalent sexism seorang laki-laki. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada laki-laki di Indonesia. Dengan jumlah sampel 445, penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa masing-masing komponen dark triad berkorelasi dengan ambivalent sexism dan masing-masing dimensinya. Secara umum, dark triad personality ditermukan mampu secara signifikan memprediksi ambivalent sexism (F (3,444) = .858, R2 = .736, p < .05). Lebih lanjut, penelitian berhasil menemukan bahwa machiavellianism menjadi faktor kunci dalam memprediksi ambivalent sexism (β = .61 F (3,444) = .858, R2 = .736, p < .05) dan psychopathy menjadi prediktor terlemah dalam memprediksi benevolent sexism. Penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk menjadi landasan dalam upaya mengatahui alasan dibalik sikap seksis, hubungannya dengan dark triad personality, serta mengintervensi dan mengurangi kesenjangan yang disebabkan oleh sikap seksis.

Gender-based violence happens globally. In Indonesia ambivalent sexism towards women cause a lot of women to experience violence and discrimination but at the same time they are somehow given a special treatment, such as women-only carriages on trains. Earlier researches have shown that there is a relationship between ambivalent sexism and some personality traits such as narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopaty. There has been various research in attempt to find what cause a person to have an ambivalent sexism. The current study investigates the relationship between the Dark Triad personality traits and ambivalent sexism among Indonesian male. With a sample of 445, this research shows how each of dark triad components can correlate to ambivalent sexism and each of its dimensions. Overall, Dark Triad personality traits was found to be significant in predicting ambivalent sexism (F (3,444) = .858, R2 = .736, p < .05). Furthermore, this research had come to a conclusion that machiavellianism was found to have the strongest influence in predicting ambivalent sexism (β = .61 F (3,444) = .858, R2 = .736, p < .05) and psychopathy was found to be the weakest in prediting benevolent sexism (β = .06 F (3,444) = .858, R2 = .736, p < .05). This research was done so that it can be used to be one of the foundation in our attempt to figure out the cause of sexism, how it is related to dark triad personality, and also perhaps to intervene and reduce the gender gap caused by sexism.
