Abstract

This study aimed to identify the factorial structure of the dark personality traits among university students.The study samp le consisted of 500 male and female fourth-year university students, with chronological ages ranging between 21 and 22 years, a mean age of 20.24 years, and a standard deviation of 2.80.The researcher utilized the Life Orientation Scale (the threedimensional Dark Personality Scale) developed by Johnson and Pauls (2014), translated into Arabic by El-Shafie (2020).The results revealed the following: There is a single general factor that links the three dimensions of the dark personality traits among university students.No significant correlation was found between Machiavellianism and psychopathy among university students.A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between narcissism and both Machiavellianism and psychopathy among university students, indicating that narcissism serves as a connecting factor among the three dimensions of the dark personality traits.There were no statistically significant differences attributed to gender, academic specialization, or the interaction between them regarding the three -dimensional dark personality traits among university students.
