Relationships Between the Dark Triad and Schwartz's Circumplex of Values on High School Students

Öz

Values are abstract ideals to be achieved and serve as criteria for individual behavior, choices, and self-evaluation. Schwartz defined 10 universal values in his Theory of Values and created four value groups that group together related values. The Dark Triad consists of negative behaviors such as using others for personal gain, egocentrism, cheating, and manipulating others. The purpose of this research is to test whether Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism, which are the dimensions of the Dark Triad, predict Schwartz's value groups of conservatism, self-enhancement, openness to change, and self-transcendence through the implicit variable of the Dark Triad. A MIMIC model was developed and tested for this purpose. The MIMIC model is used to determine whether a large number of observed variables predict a latent variable and whether this latent variable causes a large number of cases. The results of the research indicated that Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism predicted the values of power, success and hedonism in the self-enhancement value group through the Dark Triad implicit variable. It was also found to negatively predict the values of universality, benevolence and conformity. Notably, the Dark Triad and its dimensions do not predict conservatism and openness to change.

Lise Öğrencilerinde Karanlık Üçlü ve Schwartz'ın Değerler Çemberi Arasındaki İlişkiler

Öz

Değerler; bireylerin davranışlarına, seçimlerine ve kendilerini değerlendirmelerine ölçüt olan, ulaşılmak istenen soyut ideallerdir. Schwartz, Değerler Kuramı’nda 10 evrensel değer tanımlayarak birbiri ile ilişkili değerlerin gruplandırılmasını içeren dört değer grubu oluşturmuştur. Son yıllarda alan yazında bir kişilik özelliği olarak kavramlaştırılan Karanlık Üçlü; bireysel çıkarlar için diğerlerini kullanma, benmerkezcilik, hilecilik, diğerlerini manipüle etme gibi olumsuz davranış örüntülerinden oluşmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Karanlık Üçlü’nün boyutları olan Makyavelizm, psikopati ve narsisizmin karalık üçlü örtük değişeni üzerinden Schwartz’ın muhafazakarlık, kendini güçlendirme, gelişime açıklık ve kendini aşma değer gruplarını yordayıp yordamadığını araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla MIMIC model oluşturulup test edilmiştir. MIMIC model, çok sayıda gözlenen değişkenin örtük bir değişkeni yordayıp yordamadığı ve bu örtük değişkenin çok sayıda olguya neden olup olmadığını belirlemek amacı ile kullanılmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre Makyavelizm, psikopati ve narsisizm; karanlık üçlü örtük değişkeni üzerinden kendini güçlendirme değer grubu içinde yer alan güç, başarı ve hazcılık değerlerini yordamaktadır. Diğer yandan araştırmada Makyavelizm, psikopati ve narsisizmin; karanlık üçlü örtük değişkeni üzerinden kendini aşma değer grubu içinde yer alan evrensellik, iyilikseverlik ve uyma değerlerini negatif yönde yordadığı da bulgulanmıştır. Karanlık üçlü ve karanlık üçlünün boyutları ise muhafazakarlık ve gelişime açıklık değer gruplarını yordamamaktadır.
