Abstract

Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su provjeriti odnose osobnih vrijednosti s osobinama Mračne trijade te utvrditi latentne dimenzije osobnih vrijednosti temeljem rezultata upitnika PVQ-21 kako bi se spomenuti odnosi provjerili i na višoj, općenitijoj razini. Istraživanje je provedeno online, a u njemu je sudjelovalo 510 sudionika - studenata s područja cijele Hrvatske, od kojih 291 ženskog spola. Sudionici su prikupljani u uzorak putem društvenih mreža i mailing lista, na kojima je bila podijeljena poveznica koja je vodila do upitnika. Kao mjera osobnih vrijednosti korišten je Prikaz osobnih vrijednosti, a kao mjera Mračne trijade Kratki upitnik Mračne trijade. Istraživanjem su potvrđene vrijednosti vlastitog probitka kao prediktori Mračne trijade, uz još poneki nalaz različit od prethodnih istraživanja, koji je moguće pripisati kulturalnim razlikama. Regresijskim analizama osobnih vrijednosti kao prediktora osobina Mračne trijade pokazalo se da je izraženiji makijavelizam moguće predvidjeti pomoću naglašenijeg vrednovanja moći i sniženog vrednovanja dobrohotnosti, izraženiji narcizam pomoću sklonosti poticaju i postignuću te nesklonosti vrednovanju tradicije, a izraženiju psihopatiju pomoću sklonosti poticaju i moći te nesklonosti konformizmu i dobrohotnosti. Faktorska analiza upitnika PVQ-21 urodila je interpretabilnim faktorima tek nakon ipsatizacije, pri čemu su uz manja odstupanja formirane bipolarne dimenzije vlastiti probitak-vlastito odricanje i otvorenost za promjene–zadržavanje tradicionalnih odnosa. Uključivanjem novoformiranih vrijednosti u regresijsku analizu pokazalo se da osobe s višim rezultatima osobina Mračne trijade (izuzev psihopatije) teže polu vlastitog probitka, dok su rezultati bliži polu otvorenosti za promjene povezani s višim narcizmom i psihopatijom, ali nižim makijavelizmom.

Abstract (english)

Main goals of this research were to test the relationship between personal values and the Dark triad and to determine latent dimensions of personal values measured by PVQ-21 in order to test previously mentioned relationship on a more general level. The research was conducted online and the sample consisted of 510 participants, 291 of which were females. Participants were recruited via mailing lists and social networks, where link leading to the questionnaire was posted. Portrait values questionnaire and Short Dark Triad questionnaire were used as measurement of explored
5 constructs. Results have confirmed values of self-enhancement as predictors of the Dark triad traits, as well as exhibited some other outcomes that differed from previous research and could probably be attributed to cultural differences. Regression analyses of personal values as predictors of the Dark triad traits have exhibited higher value of power and lower value of benevolence as predictors of higher Machiavellianism, higher values of stimulation and achievement and lower value of tradition as predictors of higher narcissism and higher values stimulation and power and lower values of conformism and benevolence as predictors of higher psychopathy. Factor analysis conducted on the results of the PVQ questionnire resulted in interpretable factors only after ipsatization was conducted and, aside from minor discrepancies, reflected bipolar dimensions of self-enhancement – self-transcendence and openness to change – conservation. After including these new value dimensions into analyses, results have confirmed previous findings and have shown a relationship between tendency to self-enhancement and higher Dark triad traits (except for psychopathy). Results closer to the pole of openness to change were related to higher narcissism and psychopathy, but lower Machiavellianism.
