This study will aim to provide new information about the association between personality and academic traits, such as academic success, cheating/manipulative/study behaviors, and area of study. In particular, the “Dark Triad” of personality traits (Psychopathy, Narcissism, and Machiavellianism) will be examined for their association with specific majors and academic measures. Psychopathy (subclinical) can be briefly described as a lack of empathy or regard for others’ rights, impulsivity, and thrill-seeking. Narcissism can be briefly described as an inflated/grandiose sense of self-worth, entitlement, and superiority. Machiavellianism can be briefly described as the willingness to manipulate others for personal gain. Much work has looked at the association of the Dark Triad (particularly psychopathy and narcissism) in the business world, where the willingness to manipulate others and a lack of empathy may be more beneficial than in other occupations. Our work will look for differences in associations between the Dark Triad and students majoring in Business Administration and Accounting, “helping” majors (Nursing, Special Education, Elementary Education, Psychology, and Sociology), and “artistic” majors (Art, Music, and Theater). As noted below, previous work has shown disparities in the associations between individual Dark Triad levels and vocational interests in these areas, but very little work has looked at the Dark Triad and area of study or academic outcomes/behaviors. All three of the Dark Triad traits have previously been associated with a lack of vocational interest in traditional office work (Kowalski, Vernon, & Schermer, 2017).All three traits have also been negatively associated with a "planfulness" work style, which may be relevant in an academic setting (Kowalski, Vernon, & Schermer, 2017). Psychopathy has previously been shown to be higher in United Kingdom business students than in psychology students (Hassall, Boduszek, & Dhingra, 2015). Psychopathy has also been found to be negatively associated with GPA in the same university population (Hassall, Boduszek, & Dhingra, 2015). Considerably less work has looked at the relationship between Machiavellianism, narcissism, and academics such as major or GPA. We hope to shed new light on the relationship between "dark" personalities and academics in a university setting. This information could be of use to both personality psychologists in future research, as well as those working with undergraduate students in academic advising and general teaching.
