Abstract

This study investigated possible connections between Paulus and Williams's (2002) dark triad traits and panic buying during the pandemic. The studies coincided with the Phase 2 lockdown enforced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. In the first study, consumers scoring higher on a narcissism measure reported less panic buying, whereas people scoring higher on measures of Machiavellianism and psychopathy reported more panic buying under pandemic-induced scarcity conditions. Study two explored the potential mediating influence of psychological vulnerability to account for the disparate relationships between the dark triad traits and pandemic-fueled panic buying. Study 2 found support for the role of psychological vulnerability in mediating this set of relations. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
