“…This possibility is consistent with the considerable overlap that exists among all three of these constructs (for MACH and narcissism, see McHoskey, 1995, andWatson et al. 1994;for MACH andpsychopathy, see Smith, 1978, andGriffith, 1978; for psychopathy and narcissism, see Harpur et al, 1994).…”

An integration of the Machiavellianism (MACH) and psychopathy constructs based on a dimensional view of personality and personality disorders and a recognition of B. Karpman's (1941Karpman's ( , 1948 conceptual distinction between primary and secondary psychopathy is presented. Positive associations between MACH and both primary and secondary psychopathy were found. It is concluded that the Mach-IV is a global measure of psychopathy in noninstitutionalized populations (i.e., one that assesses but confounds both primary and secondary psychopathy) and that the primary differences between MACH and psychopathy are not traceable to substantive theoretical issues but to the different professional affiliations they are associated with: personality and social psychology and clinical psychology, respectively.Although the fourth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's (1994) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) identifies personality disorders as taxonomies, numerous authors have argued for a dimensional approach to the classification of personality disorders and psychopathology in general (

“…Regardless of which measure of entitlement is used, researchers have demonstrated convincingly that entitlement is associated with a wide array of maladaptive and socially-problematic traits, including greed, aggression, and lack of forgiveness (Campbell et al 2004), Machiavellianism (McHoskey 1995), and the perception by others that one is hostile and deceitful (Raskin and Terry 1988). Recent research has raised the possibility that entitlement may not be a unifactorial construct, but rather, may have both a maladaptive or exploitive component (consistent with studies demonstrating positive associations between entitlement measures and socially-destructive traits) and a non-exploitive, potentially adaptive component ).…”

Anecdotal evidence suggests an increase in entitled attitudes and behaviors of youth in school and college settings. Using a newly developed scale to assess ''academic entitlement'' (AE), a construct that includes expectations of high grades for modest effort and demanding attitudes towards teachers, this research is the first to investigate the phenomenon systematically. In two separate samples of ethnically diverse college students comprised largely of East and Southeast Asian American, followed by Caucasians, Latinos, and other groups (total N = 839, age range 18-25 years), we examined the personality, parenting, and motivational correlates of AE. AE was most strongly related to exploitive attitudes towards others and moderately related to an overall sense of entitlement and to narcissism. Students who reported more academically entitled attitudes perceived their parents as exerting achievement pressure marked by social comparison with other youth and materially rewarding good grades, scored higher than their peers in achievement anxiety and extrinsic motivation, and engaged in more academic dishonesty. AE was not significantly associated with GPA.

“…non-forensic, non-clinic referred populations), narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy are essentially equivalent because of their considerable overlap (Fehr et al, 1992;Gustafson & Ritzer, 1995;McHoskey, 1995;McHoskey et al, 1998). However, recent studies that examine narcissism, MACH, and psychopathy simultaneously within subclinical adult populations demonstrate that they have low to moderate associations (reported intercorrelations ranging from .18 to .62), with the weakest associations found between narcissism and MACH, and the strongest associations found between psychopathy and MACH (Campbell et al, 2009;Hodson, Hogg, & MacInnis, 2009;Jakobwitz & Egan, 2006;Lee & Ashton, 2005;Paulhus & Williams, 2002).…”
