“…In contrast, athletes with welladjusted levels of narcissism strive to achieve their goals and act on their talents and abilities [15][16][17][18]. In this regard, Unoe et al [21] examined the correlation between competitive sports and dark personality traits; they concluded that the effects of gender, type of sports activity, and level of competition in which athletes are involved largely affect the total score of dark personality traits.…”

Background and Aim: The concept of resilience has been recently extensively considered concerning sports studies; accordingly, in most qualitative studies, it has been used to explore the attitudes of coaches, athletes, and sports psychologists. In this regard, the present study aimed to determine resilience in athletic students based on dark triad personality and psychological wellbeing. Methods & Materials: This was a descriptive and correlational study. The population of the study consisted of all male students of Guilan University of Physical Education in the first semester of the academic year 2019-2020. A sample of 200 individuals was selected by convenience sampling method; then, the required data were collected using Sheard et al.’s (2009) Resilience Scale for Adults, Jonsson and Webster’s Dark Triad Personality Questionnaire, and Ryff’s 18-item Psychological Wellbeing Scale (1989). The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by Research Ethics Committee of Guilan University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.GUMS.REC.1398.121). Results: The present research results suggested a positive and significant correlation between the resilience of the examined athletic students and narcissism (r=0.495, P<0.001), self-acceptance (r=0.598, P<0.001), purposefulness in life (r=0.556, P<0.001), personal growth (r=0.648, P<0.001), the mastery of the environment (r=0.645, P<0.001), positive correlation with others (r=0.569, P<0.001), and independence (r=0.381, P<0.001). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between antisocial behavior (r=-0.557, P<0.001) and Machiavelli’s aspect (r=-0.604, P<0.001), and the explored students’ resilience. Additionally, multiple regression analysis data revealed that dark triad personality and psychological wellbeing predict 62% of resilience in the study subjects. Conclusion: The current investigation results signified a significant correlation between dark triad personality and psychological wellbeing, and resilience in athletic students. Accordingly, educators and teachers need to pay more attention to the role of psychological wellbeing and different dimensions of athletes’ personalities for promoting the health and performance of students.

“…On the other hand, mental toughness has negative indirect effects on the relationships between the triple factors of dark personality. In other words, narcissism increases the level of mental toughness and mental toughness decreases the level of Machiavellianism and psychopathy [15]. According to the above findings and the findings of Sabouri et al (2016), it is clear that there is a deep relationship between physical activity, the triple factors of dark personality, and mental toughness.…”

“…Also, it will reduce the negative image of sports as a result of unfair competition [18]. Ueno et al (2017) [15] concluded that the correlation between the triple factors of dark personality and athletes' gender, the type of sports event, and the level of competition, clearly indicate the importance of future research regarding this dimension of athletes' personality and the process of their sports performance and behavioral problems [15]. Although in some studies, the effect of Machiavellianism on the happiness of athletes and non-athletes was insignificant, it was positive and significant in non-violent sports, and the psychopathy factor had an inverse and significant effect on the happiness of athletes and non-athletes.…”

“…Although not much time has passed since the introduction of this instrument in 2010, research has been done on it in different cultures [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. For example, Jonason and Webster (2010) [19] have obtained its internal consistency coefficients in two separate studied samples for the narcissism component of 0.85 and 0.87 and Machiavellianism 0.67 and 0.72 and for psychopathy 0.62 and 0.66.…”

This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the dark personality instrument in students of general physical education units of Mashhad universities. The participants include all students of Ferdowsi, Imam Reza, Islamic Azad, and Payame Noor universities who had chosen the units of general physical education and sport in the academic year of 2021-22, using the Morgan table, 196 people were randomly selected as a sample. A standard dark personality questionnaire (Jonason & Webster, 2010) was used to collect data. Cronbach's alpha test was used to confirm the reliability of the questionnaire. To confirm the instrument's validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used. Data analysis showed that the factor load of all items is higher than the baseline value (0.4) and the research model has a significant fit. Also, the model fit indices had acceptable values. Finally, it is recommended to sports coaches and teachers of physical education classes and leisure time to use this scale at the beginning of each semester to get to know more about the personality characteristics of students in their class and to measure these people, this can help them a lot in how to manage their classes.

“…Vaughan et al hypothesized that the Dark Triad traits measured by SD3 would vary across different performance levels [13]. Other studies also focused on similar research topics and tested for similar results through empirical research [4,[14][15]. As for the overall Dark Triad score, gender differences, level differences, and sport-type differences were presented across these studies.…”

Successful businesspeople and politicians seem to have a high tendency in the Dark Triad of personality. Since achieved individuals often share similar personality traits while striving in a similar environment (prospering at others' expense), high-performing athletes are most likely to have similar characteristics. Through the examination on kinds of literature that are relative to the topic of the relationship between high-performing athletes and the Dark Triad of personality, homogeneous results were found across studies: the better the performance an athlete has, the more he/she would score in both overall and subsets of the Dark Triad scale. Potential drawbacks of such phenomena, such as doping and cheating, were also presented by literature, which should be paid attention to in future research.
