Relation between Dark Triad Traits and Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation System in Croatian Sample

Relation between dark triad traits and behavioral activation (BAS) and behavioral inhibition system (BIS) has not been explored in Croatian scientific literature, while results of worldwide studies have been mixed. Having this in mind, our goal was to bring this topic in Croatian scientific community and to further validate results of the previous studies. On-line study was done on the sample of 146 participants from general population. As a measure of the dark triad SD3 scale was used (Jones & Paulhus, 2012, Kristofich Ambruš et al., 2013). Behavioral activation and inhibition system were measured by BIS/BAS scales (Carver & White, 1994, Križanić et al., 2015). After controlling for age and gender, machiavellianism emerged to be positively related to behavioral inhibition system. Machiavellianism was also a positive predictor of BAS reward-responsiveness and BAS-drive. Narcissism seemed to be a positive predictor of BAS-drive and BAS fun-seeking.
