Differences in the Relationship between Personal Values and the Dark Triad in Men and Women

Summary/Abstract: Despite the extensive literature on the research of personal values and the Dark Triad independently, studies on their relationship are relatively scarce. The aim of this paper was to examine the differences between men and women in personal values and the traits of the Dark Triad; and to examine if their relationship is different for men and women. A sample of 510 students filled out the Portrait Values Questionnaire and the Short Dark Triad questionnaire. The results indicate higher values of hedonism, achievement, safety and benevolence among women and higher Machiavellianism and psychopathy, but not narcissism, among men. The moderation of the relationship of personal values and the Dark Triad regarding sex was also significant, where among men it is possible to predict higher Machiavellianism with higher values of safety and to predict higher narcissism with higher values of power, while among women these relations were not significant. Women who have higher values of safety and benevolence mostly achieve lower results on psychopathy and this relationship was not obtained among men. Generally, a higher amount of the variance of the Dark Triad was explained among the male sample, where narcissism is better predicted by personal values than it is among women.
