Machiavellian beliefs and social influence

An Examination of Aggression and Adaption Traits with Moral Foundation

“…Individuals high in Machiavellianism are interpersonally detached and are willing to manipulate others to accomplish goals (Christie & Geis, 1970;Teven, 2007). Machiavellians often communicate to control others (Walter, Anderson, & Martin, 2005), to be deceitful (O'Hair & Cody, 1987), and are less conscientious toward others (Becker & O'Hair, 2007).

“…Başka bir deyişle, öğrencinin üniversitesiyle ilgili gerçekçi olmayan beklentilere ve yanlış algılamalara sahip olduğundan bahsedilebilir. Ayrıca başkalarını yalancı, bencil ve ilgisiz olarak görme, baş-kalarının güdülerini sorgulama, insan ilişkilerinde dikkatli olma ve güven duymama, başkaları tarafından kendilerine yüklenen taleplere gücenme özelliğinden de söz edilebilir (Barefoot et al, 1989;Brandes, 1997;Mirvis & Kanter, 1991;O'Hair & Cody, 1987).
