Abstract

We investigated the personality correlates of financially focused self-concept, a construct describing individuals who overemphasise financial success as central to their self-definition and self-worth. We examined the unique and shared associations between financially focused self-concept and the Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism) as well as Honesty-Humility at the facet level to provide greater specificity than trait-level analysis. Using cross-sectional data from 1725 Canadian adults who completed validated self-report measures, we conducted commonality analyses. Results revealed significant associations between financially focused self-concept and Machiavellianism facets (antagonism and planfulness), all psychopathy facets, narcissistic vulnerability and lower levels of greed-avoidance and modesty. These findings enhance understanding of the personality profiles of individuals who prioritise financial success excessively.

用共性分析从黑暗三合一和诚实谦卑人格特质解释财务关注自我概念的独特和共同差异。

我们调查了以财务为中心的自我概念的人格相关性，这是一种描述过度强调财务成功是自我定义和自我价值中心的个体的结构。我们研究了以财务为中心的自我概念与黑暗三位一体特征（马基雅维利主义、精神病和自恋）以及诚实-谦卑之间独特而共有的联系，以提供比特征层面分析更具体的内容。使用来自1725名加拿大成年人的横断面数据，他们完成了有效的自我报告测量，我们进行了共性分析。结果显示，以财务为中心的自我概念与马基雅维利主义方面（对抗和计划）、所有精神病方面、自恋脆弱性和较低水平的贪婪回避和谦虚之间存在显著关联。这些发现加深了人们对那些过分看重财务成功的人的性格特征的理解。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world.
