Association Between Dark Triad Personality and Achievement Motivation among Adolescents
Main Article Content
Abstract
All three hypotheses say the same thing in the end i.e. teens with Dark Triad personality traits are less likely to want to do well in school. People with psychopathy don't care about their feelings. They do things on a whim, which makes them less motivated. People who are narcissistic have too much faith in themselves and are afraid of failing that makes them weaker. People who are Machiavellian make it weaker by lying to each other and not doing real work. Teenagers learn how to get themselves going and work toward their goals. Because of these bad personality traits, they may have a harder time doing well in school or at work. Teachers, psychologists and counsellors can use what they know about these links to figure out how to help people feel more motivated and less like their bad personality traits are getting in the way.
