Abstract

The present study aims to measure the impact of dark triad personality traits on attitude towards infidelity among married individuals. The cross-sectional research design was employed in this study. Sample size was justified through Apriori sample size calculator. In total, 132 participants were selected from Multan, Bahawalpur, Lahore and Faisalabad using purposive sampling technique. Two questionnaires; Short Dark triad- SD3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2011) and Attitude toward Infidelity Scale (Whatley, 2006) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. The results revealed that dark triad personality traits including all subscales; machiavellianism, narcissism & psychopathy, was significantly positively correlated with Attitude toward infidelity. Dark triad personality traits were also found to be a significant predictor of attitude towards infidelity. Implications of the study along with its limitations were discussed and recommendations for future research have been suggested. Due to logistical limitations, this research was performed on a relatively small sample. This study will help to spread awareness among married people who directly or indirectly experience infidelity.

旁遮普已婚人士黑暗人格特质对不忠态度的影响

本研究旨在探讨黑暗人格特质对已婚人士不忠态度的影响。本研究采用横断面研究设计。通过Apriori样本量计算器来确定样本量。采用有目的抽样技术，共从木尔坦、巴哈瓦尔布尔、拉合尔和费萨拉巴德选出132名参与者。两个调查问卷;使用Short Dark triad- SD3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2011)和whattley, 2006)进行数据收集。数据采用SPSS 25.0进行分析。结果表明，黑暗三联人格特征包括所有分量表;马基雅维利主义、自恋和精神变态与不忠态度显著正相关。黑暗人格特质也被发现是对不忠态度的重要预测因素。讨论了本研究的意义及其局限性，并对今后的研究提出了建议。由于后勤限制，本研究是在一个相对较小的样本上进行的。这项研究将有助于在那些直接或间接经历过不忠的已婚人士中传播这种意识。
