Abstract
Purpose of this study is to examine effects of dark triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy) on the utilitarian choices. Data is collected from university students with an online survey using convenience method for sampling. To measure research variables, a version of dictator game that presents a salary raise case to participants and Short Dark Triad Scale (SD3) is used. Reliability analysis is conducted to SD3 which returned 0.611, 0.651 and 0.684 Cronbach’s alpha values for Dark Triad personality traits. Binary logistic regression analysis is used to test research hypotheses. Findings indicate that psychopathy has a significant and positive effect on the utilitarian choice whereas Machiavellianism and narcissism has not. Implications of the results are discussed and future research areas are suggested.
