Resumen
Las transformaciones en las formas de comunicación, impulsadas por la digitalización y el auge de las redes sociales, han alterado las dinámicas afectivas, dando lugar a fenómenos relacionales emergentes como el ghosting, definido como la interrupción repentina y unilateral de una relación afectiva sin explicación a la otra parte. Tal como lo han documentado diversos autores, existen vínculos entre este fenómeno y rasgos de personalidad asociados a la tríada oscura, es decir, narcisismo, maquiavelismo y psicopatía. En este sentido, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la relación entre la experiencia de ghosting y los rasgos de la tríada oscura de la personalidad en una muestra de jóvenes universitarios colombianos, mediante un diseño cuantitativo correlacional. La muestra estuvo compuesta por (n=200) personas entre los 18 y 33 años. Se aplicaron la Escala de Ghosting Romántico (RG-C) y la escala Dirty Dozen. Los resultados indicaron que el 88% de los participantes había estado involucrado en situaciones de ghosting: un 32,5% como víctimas, un 21% como perpetradores y un 34% de forma bidireccional. El 49,5% reportó haber experimentado un impacto emocional, siendo este más alto entre mujeres (53,5%) que entre hombres (44,2%). En cuanto a los rasgos de personalidad, el 40% presentó niveles elevados de narcisismo, el 48% de maquiavelismo y el 47% de psicopatía
Transformations in communication practices, driven by digitalization and the rise of social media, have reshaped affective dynamics, giving rise to emerging relational phenomena such as ghosting—defined as the sudden and unilateral termination of an affective relationship without explanation to the other party. As documented by various authors, there are established links between this phenomenon and personality traits associated with the Dark Triad: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Accordingly, the present study aims to explore the relationship between the experience of ghosting and Dark Triad traits in a sample of Colombian university students, employing a correlational quantitative design. The sample consisted of (n=200) individuals aged between 18 and 33 years. Participants completed the Romantic Ghosting Scale (RG-C) and the Dirty Dozen scale. Results indicated that 88% of participants had been involved in ghosting situations: 32.5% as victims, 21% as perpetrators, and 34% in a bidirectional manner. A total of 49.5% reported having experienced emotional impact, with higher prevalence among women (53.5%) compared to men (44.2%). Regarding personality traits, 40% of participants scored high on narcissism, 48% on Machiavellianism, and 47% on psychopathy
