Özet
Objective: In recent years, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism have been considered together as thedark sides of the personality. In this study, the purpose is to adapt the Dirty Dozen Scale to Turkish culture. Methods:Four steps have been conducted in this study. These studies are linguistic equivalence study, structure andconcurrent validity study, predictive validity study, and reliability study, respectively. Nine hundred and thirty-twouniversity students (61% female), who were included in the four steps, participated in the study. Results: Applyinga confirmatory factor analysis [χ2(51,430)=145.16, p<0.001; CFI=0.96; GFI=0.95; IFI=0.96; SRMR=0.047; RMSEA=0.066, 90% CI (0.053-0.078)] a structure was determined made up of three factors which corroborated the structureof the original scale. The result of the predictive validity showed that physical aggression positively predictedMachiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism; verbal aggression positively predicted psychopathy and narcissism;anger positively predicted psychopathy and narcissism; hostility positively predicted psychopathy and narcissism.The Cronbach's alpha coefficients have been calculated as 0.79 for Machiavellianism, 0.71 for psychopathyand 0.87 for narcissism. Discussion: The findings of the study have shown that the Turkish form of the Dirty DozenScale is a valid and reliable scale to measure the Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism personality traits.Future studies will cast light on the understanding of the structure of the Dark Triad Personality Traits in Turkishculture.
