Abstract:

This dataset comes from a study conducted in Poland with 44 participants. The goal of the study was to measure personality traits known as the Dark Triad. The Dark Triad consists of three key traits that influence how people think and behave towards others. These traits are Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy. Machiavellianism refers to a person's tendency to manipulate others and be strategic in their actions. People with high Machiavellianism scores often believe that deception is necessary to achieve their goals. Narcissism is related to self-importance and the need for admiration. Individuals with high narcissism scores may see themselves as special and expect others to recognize their greatness. Psychopathy is linked to impulsive behavior and a lack of empathy. People with high psychopathy scores tend to be less concerned about the feelings of others and may take risks without worrying about consequences. Each participant in the dataset answered 30 questions, divided into three sections, with 10 questions per trait. The answers were recorded using a Likert scale from 1 to 5, where: 1 means "Strongly Disagree" 2 means "Disagree" 3 means "Neutral" 4 means "Agree" 5 means "Strongly Agree" This scale helps measure how much a person agrees with statements related to each of the three traits. The dataset also includes basic demographic information. Each participant has a unique ID (such as P001, P002, etc.) to keep their identity anonymous. The dataset records their age, which ranges from 18 to 60 years old, and their gender, which is categorized as "Male," "Female," or "Other." The responses in the dataset are realistic, with small variations to reflect natural differences in personality. On average, participants scored around 3.2 for Machiavellianism, meaning most people showed a moderate tendency to be strategic or manipulative. The average Narcissism score was 3.5, indicating that some participants valued themselves highly and sought admiration. The average Psychopathy score was 2.8, showing that most participants did not strongly exhibit impulsive or reckless behaviors. This dataset can be useful for many purposes. Researchers can use it to analyze personality traits and see how they compare across different groups. The data can also be used for cross-cultural comparisons, allowing researchers to study how personality traits in Poland differ from those in other countries. Additionally, psychologists can use this data to understand how Dark Triad traits influence behavior in everyday life. The dataset is saved in a CSV format, which makes it easy to open in programs like Excel, SPSS, or Python for further analysis. Because the data is structured and anonymized, it can be used safely for research without revealing personal information. In summary, this dataset provides valuable insights into personality traits among people in Poland. It allows researchers to explore how Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy vary among individuals. By studying these traits, psychologists can better understand human behavior and how it affects relationships, decision-making, and personal success.
