Abstract

Background: Machiavellianism and social dominance orientation are two constructs associated with socially undesirable behavior and predictors of prejudice; however, their relationship has mainly been investigated through measures that only assess the antagonism dimension of Machiavellianism. Thus, this study aimed to disentangle their relationship using an instrument assessing agency and planfulness.

Participants and procedure: Participants were 767 Brazilians aged 18 to 71 (M = 30.10, SD = 10.60), most identified as women (67.7%) and assessed using the Five Factor Machiavellianism Inventory, the Short Dark Triad, and the Social Dominance Orientation Scale. A path model was used, where the Machiavellianism and the Dark Triad dimensions predicted social dominance orientation.

Results: The results suggest that antagonism was indeed the primary and only dimension of Machiavellianism to predict dominance and antiegalitarianism, while agency and planfulness were non-significant.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that socially dominant traits have their roots in antagonism, showing no interaction with planning and impulse control.

解开马基雅维利主义与社会支配取向的关系。

背景：马基雅维利主义和社会支配取向是与社会不良行为相关的两个构念和偏见的预测因子；然而，它们之间的关系主要是通过仅评估马基雅维利主义的对抗维度的措施来研究的。因此，本研究旨在利用评估机构和计划性的工具来解开它们之间的关系。参与者和程序：参与者为767名年龄在18岁至71岁之间的巴西人（M = 30.10, SD = 10.60），其中大多数为女性（67.7%），并使用五因素马基雅维利主义量表、短黑暗三人格和社会支配倾向量表进行评估。使用路径模型，马基雅维利主义和黑暗三位一体维度预测社会支配倾向。结果：对立性确实是马基雅维利主义预测支配和反平均主义的主要和唯一维度，而能动性和计划性则不显著。结论：研究结果表明，社会优势特质的根源在于对抗性，与计划和冲动控制没有相互作用。
