| Abstract | Mračna trijada odnosi se na narcizam, makijavelizam i psihopatiju prisutne van kliničke populacije, u normalnom rasponu funkcioniranja. Stoga nije upitno posjedujemo li mračne osobine, već u kojoj mjeri i kako se one odražavaju na naše svakodnevno odlučivanje i ponašanje. Ovim se istraživanjem nastojalo ispitati povezanosti osobina mračne trijade, samokontrole i sklonosti riziku. Istraživanje je provedeno online putem. Prvi dio istraživanja odnosio se na sociodemografska pitanja (dob, spol, mjesto stanovanja, zaposlenost), a zatim su redom slijedile: Kratka skala mračne trijade, Kratka skala samokontrole i Upitnik sklonosti za preuzimanje rizika. Sklonost preuzimanja rizika ispitivana je na pet životnih domena: financijskoj, zdravstvenoj, rekreacijskoj, etičkoj i društvenoj. Istraživanje su ispunila 362 sudionika, a analiza se provodila na (pod)uzorku sudionika koji su trenutno zaposleni dulje od 6 mjeseci (N=290). Utvrđene su značajne pozitivne povezanosti narcizma i psihopatije sa svim domenama rizika, a makijavelizma s etičkim, financijskim i zdravstvenim rizikom. Samokontrola je pokazala značajnu pozitivnu povezanost s narcizmom i negativnu s makijavelizmom, psihopatijom, etičkim i zdravstvenim rizikom. Postupkom multiple regresijske analize, dobivene su prediktivne valjanosti narcizma za kriterij društvenog, rekreacijskog i ukupnog rizika, makijavelizma za kriterij etičkog rizika, psihopatije za kriterije svih pet ispitanih domena i ukupnog rizika, te samokontrole za kriterij ukupnog, zdravstvenog i etičkog rizika. Također, ispitan je i potvrđen medijacijski efekt samokontrole u odnosima makijavelizma i psihopatije s rizikom, koristeći dvije različite analize (bootstrapping i SEM). Bootstrapping analizom u SPSS-u dobiven je značajan medijacijski efekt samokontrole u odnosima makijavelizma s ukupnim, zdravstvenim i etičkim rizikom, te psihopatije sa zdravstvenim i etičkim rizikom. SEM analizom u R-u utvrđena je medijacijska uloga samokontrole u odnosu psihopatije i sklonosti ukupnom riziku. |
| Abstract (english) | The dark triad, referring to narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy, exists in the non-clinical population, within the normal range of functioning. Therefore, the dark personality traits are omnipresent, but the question is to what degree and how are they reflected on everyday decision-making and behaviour. In this study, we investigated the connection between the dark triad personality traits, self-control and propensity to take risk. This study has been conducted via an online questionnaire. The first part of the study refers to socio-demographic questions (age, sex, residency, employment), followed by as follows: Short dark triad (SD3), Brief Self- control Scale (BSCS), A domain-specific risk-attitude scale (DOSPERT). Tendency for risky behaviour has been investigated in five specific domains: financial, health, recreational, ethical and social decisions. The study has been completed by 362 participants, and the analysis has been performed on participants at the time employed for more than 6 months (N=290). It has been determined that there is a positive correlation between narcissism and psychopathy with all five domains of risk, and Machiavellianism with ethical, financial and health domains of risk. Self-control has shown a significant positive correlation with narcissism and negative with Machiavellianism, psychopathy, ethical and health risk. Multiple regression analysis has shown that narcissism is a significant predictor for social, recreational and total risk as well as Machiavellianism for ethical risk. Furthermore, psychopathy was shown to have unique contributions when predicting all five domains and total risk as well as self control when predicting health, ethical and total risk. Moreover, mediation effect of self-control in relationships of Machiavellianism and psychopathy with propensity to take risk has been studied and confirmed with two analisys (bootstrapping and SEM). Bootstrapping analysis in SPSS revealed a significant mediating effect of self-control in the relationships of Machiavellianism with total, health and ethical risk, and psychopathy with health and ethical risk. SEM analysis in R determined the mediating effect of self-control in relationship with psychopathy and propensity to overall risk. |
