Sažetak
According to Triarchic Model of Psychopathy, psychopathy is a complex, dimensional construct which encompasses three distinct, elemental phenotypic constructs: boldness (nexus of high dominance, low anxiousness, and venturesomeness), meanness (reflecting tendencies toward callousness, cruelty, predatory aggression, and excitement seeking), and disinhibition (reflecting tendencies toward impulsiveness, irresponsibility, oppositionality, and anger/hostility). Subjective well-being (SWB) is an umbrella term for diverse concepts ranging from momentary moods to happiness and life satisfaction. The relationship between psychopathy and SWB is intriguing, but is not well researched. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SWB and psychopathic traits. The sample consisted of 520 students (53% female), from various faculties in Zagreb with a mean age of 21 years (SD = 4.30). Psychopathic traits were measured with The Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM), while SWB was assessed with Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), Single Item on Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS) and Single Item on Overall Happiness (OH). As predicted, boldness was both bivariate and uniquely associated with all SWB indexes used. Also in line with predictions, Meanness was found to be uniquely associated with lower satisfaction with relationship with people and groups one belong to. As expected, disinhibition was negatively associated with overall life satisfaction, overall happiness, and all nine domains of satisfaction with life. The results are in line with triarchic theory of psychopathy and demonstrate that each psychopathy component has a specific relationship with well-being indexes. The study also demonstrates that boldness had adaptive features.
