"Surveys were conducted in which respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles. The researchers found strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity. They also found that trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism."
