“…There have been several attempts to link Machiavellianism to a particular life strategy, all of which have yielded inconsistent results. Whereas prior studies have found that Machiavellianism is depicted by strategic planning and long-term motivations (Jones, 2014;Jones & Paulhus, 2009), the present study found that these individuals are inclined towards immediate gratification; a clear indicator of a fast life strategy. Recent work has demonstrated that individuals who score high on Machiavellianism are highly sensitive to rewards and less sensitive to punishment (Birkás, Csathó, Gács, & Bereczkei, 2015).…”

“…Whereas psychopathy is related to short-term thinking, Machiavellianism may be associated with long-term strategizing and manipulating others for personal gain (Jones & Paulhus, 2009). Unlike psychopathic individuals, those who score high on Machiavellianism have more realistic perceptions of their own capabilities and chances of success and are sensitive to punishment (Skinner, Giokas, & Hornstein, 1976;Spitzer, Fischbacher, Herrnberger, Grön, & Fehr, 2007), thereby reducing the probability of risky decision-making.…”

The Dark Triad (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism) is a cluster of socially aversive personality traits that account for the "darker" side of human behavior.While traditional views have focused on the maladaptive nature of these traits, recent work in the field of evolutionary psychology suggests these traits may be adaptive in terms of self-serving behavior. The Dark Triad traits may also be a manifestation of a particular life strategy that an individual engages in; one that is characterized by immediate gratification and risk-taking. The present study examined links between the Dark Triad traits and ability to delay gratification in a sample of 364 undergraduate students (136 males). Psychopathy was the most strongly linked to an inability to delay gratification, followed by Machiavellianism and narcissism. Sex also moderated these relationships, such that women who scored high on Machiavellianism were less likely to delay gratification than men; however, these associations were no longer significant when a more conservative Bonferroni correction was applied. Findings are discussed within the evolutionary framework of Life History Theory.

“…For example, Machiavellians, characterised as skilled and practiced strategists and manipulators (Jones & Paulhus, 2009), would know it is important to think about what they can get away with. Additionally, Machiavellians care about maintaining a positive impression (Sherry, Hewitt, Besser, Flett, & Klein, 2006).…”

“…In short, Machiavellianism involves a cold and cynical worldview, a lack of emotionality, strategic planning and manipulative behaviors (Rauthmann and Will 2011). In a comprehensive review of Machiavellian personality, Jones and Paulhus (2009) argue that individuals with this personality trait have superior impulse regulation but do not have special cognitive abilities. To measure Machiavellianism, Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s12144-017-9653-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.…”

Structural Investigation of the Short Dark Triad Questionnaire in Polish Population

Narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy are commonly referred to as the Dark Triad of personality. In the current study, we examined the structure of the Dark Triad measured by the Polish version of the Short Dark Triad (SD3). The study was conducted with 1012 individuals in Poland. The analyses were performed in four steps: (1) the external validity of the SD3 was tested to provide evidence that SD3 is a valid measure of the three dark traits; (2) the structural validity of the SD3 was tested using competing models in confirmatory factor analyses; (3) the structure of narcissism was tested; and (4) the combined bifactor model of Machiavellianism and psychopathy was tested. The results support the differentiation of the Dark Triad into a Dark Dyad (Machiavellianism and psychopathy) and narcissism, which can be used in further theoretical work and new operationalization of the Dark Triad.
