Light triad

Common card · No. 449197

The light triad is a model of personality comprising three prosocial traits: Kantianism, Humanism, and Faith in Humanity. The construct was introduced in 2019 by the psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman and his colleagues David Bryce Yaden, Elizabeth Hyde, and Eli Tsukayama, in the first peer-reviewed study to define the construct and provide a validated measure of it. It was conceived as a positive counterpart to the dark triad of personality (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and subclinical psychopathy). Kaufman and colleagues described people who score high on the light triad as "everyday saints," and reported that the light triad and the dark triad are only moderately negatively correlated, indicating that the two are related but distinct profiles of human nature rather than simple opposites.
