abstract
In two online studies (total N = 1215), respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of
their Internet commenting styles. Overall, strong positive associations emerged among online comment-
ing frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the
measures. Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of
personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both
enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust
associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment
of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling
appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism.
