Sažetak
Machiavellianism can be considered as a syndrome of related traits that are usually treated as unidimensional construct. Aims of this study were construction and psychometric evaluation of multidimensional Machiavellianism scale along with studying its relations with basic personality dimensions. Data was collected on young adults in 1997 (N=444) using new Machiavellianism scale, EPQ and BF bipolar scales, and in 2007 on another group of young adults (N=328) using new Machiavellianism scale and IPIP. Results of EFA and CFA show that the new Machiavellianism scale has 4 slightly correlated subscales with satisfactory metric characteristics (alpha coefficients are between .79 and .83). Basic correlation matrix of personality dimensions and Machiavellianism is consistent over time and instruments, showing that Machiavellianism is consistently correlated with socializationally important dimensions of personality (psychoticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness).
