Online version of the Varieties of Sadistic Tendencies (VAST), a self-report measure designed to assess two forms of sadism: Vicarious Sadism (enjoyment of observing violence or cruelty) and Direct Sadism (enjoyment of inflicting harm, humiliation, or suffering on others). The VAST extends assessment of dark personality traits by isolating sadism as a distinct construct beyond the traditional Dark Triad.
