AB  - This study used the trait activation theory to develop a conceptual model that explained how and when the dark
triad state influenced negative deviant behaviours (NDB). For that, we tested malevolent creativity as a mediating
variable and maverickism as a moderator. Diary data was collected from 54 working adults (324 measurement
occasions). The multilevel results showed that (1) all the DT states had a positive relationship with NDB
through malevolent creativity, and (2) maverickism moderated the indirect effect of machiavellianism and
narcissism, but not for psychopathy. Specifically, the relationship between machiavellianism and narcissism and
NDB via malevolent creativity became stronger for those who scored lower on maverickism. Practical and
theoretical implications are discussed.
