Abstract:A tríade sombria da personalidade —narcisismo, maquiavelismo e psicopatia— retrata características antagonistas, insensíveis e socialmente aversivas. É sabido que diversos fatores são afetados por traços de personalidade, tanto saudáveis quanto psicopatológicos. Este estudo buscou compreender a capacidade explicativa da tríade sombria nos afetos positivos e negativos e no lócus de controle. Para tanto foram realizados dois estudos. Compuseram o primeiro deles 154 participantes, com média de idade de 27,14 anos… Show more
“…In a study on a sample of college students, Singh et al (2017) found a negative correlation between the two. Furthermore, a recent study by Bonfa´-Araujo et al (2020) found Machiavellianism negatively related to ELOC. Bonfa´-Araujo et al (2020), Gable et al (1990), and Solar and Bruehl (1971) also found a relationship between ILOC and Machiavellianism.…”
This study examines the relationship between antecedents of Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO) in female students. The study uses locus of control, Machiavellianism, resilience, and mindfulness as independent variables. Data for the study was collected using standardized self-rating questionnaires on 854 female students as a unit of analysis. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (EFA and CFA) have been used to examine the reliability and validity of the measurement. Consequently, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was conducted using Python after validating the measurement model. The final model describes the relationship of Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation with the internal dimension of locus of control together with Machiavellianism, resilience, and mindfulness. All mentioned constructs had a significant positive influence on the dependent variable. Simultaneously, mindfulness was found to have a positive effect on resilience and internal locus of control on Machiavellianism. This study has expanded the dynamic research boundary and resonates with the recent developments in IEO conceptualizations. Moreover, this work is one of the few studies conducted exclusively among female students.

“…Some mixed results indicate that the composite of the Dark Triad in entrepreneur students is negatively correlated with internal control and that Machiavellianism, also in entrepreneur students, positively correlated with external control (Rapp-Ricciardi et al, 2018). In another investigation in a general community sample, psychopathy was positively correlated with internal control, and Machiavellianism negatively correlated with external control (Bonfá-Araujo et al, 2020). Concerning D, demonstrated a tendency to perceive the world as competitive and dangerous.…”
Dark personality traits are amongst the most popular research topics recently. In 2018 the Dark Core of personality was proposed as a common core to capture all aversive subclinical manifestations. In this study, we aimed at investigating how individuals with high scores on the Dark Core perceive control (i.e., internally or externally) and express their spirituality. Participants were 614 adults, mostly females (85.17%), aged from 18 to 73 years-old (M = 36.00; SD = 12.26), and identified themselves as agnostics (22.63%) or Catholics (19.05%). Participants responded to a measure that assessed the Dark Core of personality (D35), the Locus of Control Scale (ELOCUS), and the WHOQOL-spirituality, religiousness, and personal beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB). We used a path analysis model to estimate their connection. Results indicated that the Dark Core better predicts external locus of control, which respectively predicts connect, strength, and faith, which can be considered as spiritual coping strategies. We concluded that men and women tend to blame external forces when things do not go their way and use personal beliefs to relieve emotional distress.
“…Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13 (NPI-13;Gentile et al, 2013). Os itens desta medida foram traduzidos por Monteiro (2017), sendo que esta versão da NPI é formada por 13 itens (ω = 0,81), tendo como objetivo mensurar o nível de narcisismo dos indivíduos. Os participantes são orientados a indicar a sua concordância (1: Discordo Fortemente; 5: Concordo Fortemente) a itens como "Eu gosto de me olhar no espelho" e "Usualmente tento me exibir quando tenho a oportunidade".…”
O presente estudo objetivou verificar o papel mediador da orientação à dominância social na relação entre o núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade e o ambientalismo. Participaram 305 pessoas com idades entre 18 e 77 anos (Midade = 26,4; DPidade = 11,25; 59,7 % mulheres). Os resultados indicaram que entre os 8 traços de personalidade analisados, considerando os modelos dos Cinco Grandes Fatores e da Tríade Sombria, apenas a psicopatia se correlacionou com ambientalismo, sendo que este se correlacionou moderadamente com a orientação à dominância social. Considerando que os três traços sombrios são talhados por déficits empáticos, baixa amabilidade e honestidade/humildade, testou-se o efeito do núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade para a predição do ambientalismo, observando-se efeitos diretos. Contudo, tais efeitos diretos não se mantiveram estatisticamente significativos com a inclusão da orientação à dominância social, configurando uma mediação completa, posto que o núcleo da tríade sombria predisse indiretamente o ambientalismo. Logo, observa-se que a orientação à dominância social funciona como um mecanismo que possibilita pessoas com traços sombrios não se preocuparem com o meio ambiente, explorando-o em benefício próprio.
