ABSTRACT:
Ever since the Dark Triad of personality which includes Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy, was published there has been a rapidly expanding literature that explains and studies the behaviours and attitudes that are associated with this cluster of dark personalities. The Dark Triad is a personality framework that consists of three socially aversive or negative traitsNarcissism is the tendency to seek admiration and special treatment. Machiavellianism refers to the willingness to manipulate others for one’s own benefit or purposes. Psychopathy is characterised by callous, insensitive, impulsive behaviour lacking empathy or remorse. Although these traits are prevalent in non-clinical populations, they do place individuals at risk for maladjustment, including psychopathology. The presence of high levels of the dark personality traits can result in maladjustments among individuals while there are some who may also benefit from it. Besides, understanding of how dark traits are implicated in psychopathology is still limited. This study aims to explore the relation between Dark traits of personality and Psychological morbidity among emerging adults. The sample, 102 males in the age group of 18 to 25 years, completed the Short Dark Test (SD3) and the general Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The results were discussed in this paper.
