Abstract
The phenomenon of cyber aggression in Indonesia is increasingly prevalent and concerning. This behavior is often linked to Dark Triad Personality characteristics in several studies. However, its role in producing cyber aggression varies, and the role of other variables has not been extensively studied separately. This study aims to examine the influence of psychopathy, as the most dominant dimension of the Dark Triad Personality, on cyber aggression with anonymity and self-control as sequential mediators. This research model is grounded in an integration of the General Aggression Model, the Online Disinhibition Effect, the Social Identity of Deindividuation Effect, Deindividuation Theory, and the General Theory of Crime. It positions psychopathy as a personal factor, perceived anonymity as a situational factor, and self-control as an internal cognitive mechanism in explaining cyber aggression. The research approach used is quantitative with a correlational survey design. Research participants consisted of 456 Generation Z respondents who are active users of social media X. The instruments used include the Short Dark Triad Scale, Online Anonymity Scale, Brief Self-Control Scale, and Cyber Aggression Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression to determine the most dominant dimension of the Dark Triad. Subsequently, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed to test the proposed serial mediation model. The results showed that the Dark Triad Personality simultaneously influences cyber aggression, with psychopathy as the most dominant dimension. The serial mediation path of anonymity and self-control in the relationship between psychopathy and cyber aggression was significant (?= –0.019, p = .018), with the empirical model demonstrating an excellent fit (CFI = 0.916, TLI = 0.905, RMSEA = 0.056). The theoretical model of psychopathy's role in cyber aggressive behavior, mediated by anonymity and self-control, was empirically supported.
