“…They enjoy the feeling of importance and belief of superiority (Morf and Rhodenwalt, 2001). Some authors argue that this concept could be a reaction to the concept of well known Big Five (Oluf and Furnham, 2015), which is now a kind of so-called gold standard in personality research. When taking a closer look at the factor concepts of personality, it is possible to notice that in their interpretation there is an emphasis on adaptive personality traits, the so-called "brighter" side of personality.…”

“…When taking a closer look at the factor concepts of personality, it is possible to notice that in their interpretation there is an emphasis on adaptive personality traits, the so-called "brighter" side of personality. Oluf and Furnham (2015) described the Big Five model as such a concept. However, less attention was paid to the fact that each person, to some extent, also has maladaptive personality traits, the so-called "dark" side of personality.…”

The aim of the present study was to verify the relationship of three aversive personality traits - Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy, nowadays known by experts as the Dark Triad and burnout syndrome on the sample of vocational technical subject teachers. The study was carried out on a sample of 241 participants (Mage = 44.53; SD = 10.29). Females represented 75.1% of all respondents (Mage = 44.48; SD = 10.02), males represented the remaining 24.9% of respondents (Mage = 42.36; SD = 11.8). The Slovak version of Short Dark Triad - SD3 and the adapted Slovak version of Maslach Burnout Inventory - HSS on the sample of helping professionals were administered. Significant positive relations of the Dark Triad traits with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal satisfaction were identified. Regression analysis indicated the Dark Triad as a significant predictor of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, psychopathy was the most significant predictor. The Dark Triad concept predicted 58% of burnout syndrome’s variance.

“…Most questions are a short phrase to which respondents indicate either the degree to which they agree or disagree, using a 5‐point Likert scale, or respond either Yes or No. These assessments have been widely used in personality research and validated for both selection and development purposes . E‐mail invitations to complete the assessments online were sent in June 2017.…”

What makes us tick: Implications of personality differences among otolaryngology residents and faculty

et al. 2018

Objective The rapid personal and professional growth experienced during medical training and practice is impacted by personality. The surgeon's personality is renowned in both medical lore and literature. However, it is now known that the personality characteristics of today's millennial trainees differ from older faculty. This study investigates the variability of different personality attributes among otolaryngology residents and faculty, as well as the practical implications of these findings. Methods The opportunity to complete a series of web‐based, commercially available, self‐administered five factor‐based personality assessments was given to otolaryngology residents and faculty at nine academic training programs. The psychometrically validated assessments evaluate innate personality 1) strengths, 2) challenges, and 3) motivators/values. Differences between groups in the assessed metrics were evaluated using two‐tailed t tests. Results Seventy‐eight otolaryngology faculty and 104 residents completed all three assessments. Of the assessed metrics, there were several significant differences between residents and faculty (all P < 0.05). Residents scored higher than faculty in the domains of interpersonal sensitivity, sociability, and inquisitiveness. With respect to potential challenges, faculty displayed higher levels of skepticism and reservation. In contrast, residents scored higher in the categories of mischievous and dutiful. As for motivators/values, although both groups were highly motivated by altruism, faculty valued tradition more than residents, whereas residents valued hedonism and affiliation more than faculty. Conclusion There are notable differences between residents and faculty in multiple domains, with implications for communication, education, and professional development.

“…Moreover, the present study is the first to examine whether the Dark Triad traits have incremental validity in the prediction of the three types of jealousy in addition to 'bright side' personality traits. General personality models such as the Big Five model or the Five-Factor Model have been described as focusing on 'bright side' personality characteristics, whereas the term 'dark side' refers to traits that are dimensional representations of personality disorders (e.g., Furnham et al, 2014Furnham et al, , 2012Oluf & Furnham, 2015). The Dark Triad traits of narcissism and psychopathy can be thought of as subclinical dimensional representations of the narcissistic and anti-social personality disorders (APA, 2013).…”

Exploring the link between bright and dark personality traits and different types of jealousy

The present study set out to examine the relationships between ‘bright’ and ‘dark’ personality traits and three different types of jealousy: reactive jealousy (negative emotions in reaction to a partner’s infidelity), anxious jealousy (worrying about a partner’s infidelity), and preventive jealousy (the need to prevent a partner from having contact with others). In so doing, we used both a general broad personality questionnaire and a Dark Triad questionnaire for the assessment of personality. In a heterogeneous sample of 680 participants, it was found that neuroticism was positively related to anxious and preventive jealousy, and introversion and hostility to all three types of jealousy. Structure was related positively to reactive jealousy, and Machiavellianism and narcissism to preventive jealousy. These results are largely in line with our hypotheses. The Dark Triad traits were found to have incremental validity in the prediction of preventive jealousy, with Machiavellianism being the best predictor of preventive jealousy. This suggests that preventive jealousy might be a bit ‘darker’ than previously thought. Practical implications for dealing with jealousy in relationships are discussed.
