AB  - This study aims to determine the impact of Dark Triad personality traits on the healthy lifestyle behaviors of university students. Additionally, it will evaluate whether differences in personality and healthy lifestyle behaviors exist based on various demographic variables. The study sample consists of 407 students from Duzce University in Turkey, during the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The Dark Personality Scale and Healthy Lifestyle Scale were used as data collection tools. T-tests and ANOVA were applied to identify demographic differences, while multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of Dark Triad personality traits on healthy lifestyle behaviors. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25 software package. Dark Triad personality traits negatively affect healthy lifestyle behaviors among university students. Additionally, both Dark Triad personality traits and healthy lifestyle behaviors vary according to different demographic variables. It was concluded that Dark Triad personality traits have a significant negative effect on students' healthy lifestyle behaviors, accounting for 2% of the variance.

N2  - Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin karanlık üçlü kişilik özelliklerinin sağlıklı yaşam davranışları üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, çeşitli demografik değişkenlere göre kişilik ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışlarının arasında farklılıkların olup olmadığı da değerlendirilecektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini Türkiye’de 2022-2023 akademik yılının bahar döneminde Düzce Üniversitesi’nde eğitim gören 407 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak karanlık kişilik ölçeği ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde, demografik değişkenler arasındaki farklılıkları belirlemek için T-testleri ve ANOVA testleri uygulanmıştır. Karanlık üçlü kişilik özelliklerinin sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya çıkarmak için çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde SPSS 25 paket programı kullanılmıştır.                                                                                   Üniversite öğrencileri arasında karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri, sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışlarını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Hem karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri hem de sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışları çeşitli demografik değişkenlere göre farklılık göstermektedir.                                                                                                         Karanlık üçlü kişilik özelliklerinin öğrencilerin sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışları üzerinde anlamlı şekilde negatif olararak etkili olduğu ve %2 oranında açıkladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
