Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of dark triad of personality in predicting self-control in student-athletes. In this study, 200 student-athletes have participated and the Tangi self-control scale and Pelham and Jones questions were used to measure the self-control and dark triad of personality. Data have been analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The results showed that the correlation between the dark triad of personality and self-control was negative and significant, and the narcissistic component of the dark triad of personality has the ability to predict self-control by 71%. Therefore, coaches are advised to pay attention to the role and importance of the dark triad of personality in order to predict self-control in athletes.

Introduction

Sports psychology describes, explains and predicts human behavior, especially in athletes. From the point of view of sports psychologists, like other branches of psychology, human is a set of physical and psychological characteristics which is inseparable and includes both mental and physical characteristics(Blank, Koenigstorfer, & Baumgartner, 2018; Kemarat, Theanthong, Yeemin, & Suwankan, 2022; Piepiora, Piepiora, & Bagińska, 2022). These characteristics are an effective factor in the success and development of people, including athletes and success is described as satisfactory achievement of one's goals; for most psychologists, including sports psychologists, anyone who achieves their dreams and feels content within is successful. Many factors affect the success of people in various aspects of life, including exercise (Caliskan & Özer, 2021; Gardiner & Lawson, 2022; Greitemeyer, 2022). One of these factors is self-control, which is an effective cognitive factor on the way towards success, and usually people with strong self-control compared to other people, in addition to more efforts, react more appropriately in different situations and circumstances. As a result, they perform better (Bagheri Sheykhangafshe, Abolghasemi, & Kafi Masouleh, 2021a; Caliskan & Özer, 2021; R. S. Vaughan & Madigan, 2021).

Self-control is considered as the degree to which people's behavioral characteristics match the circumstances. People with high level self-control adjust their behavioral characteristics and are more sensitive to position-appropriate actions. But people with low level self-control have less ability or motivation to adjust their behavioral characteristics (Coulter, Mallett, Singer, & Gucciardi, 2016; Dumciene & Sipaviciene, 2021; Khalikov, Mutaeva, Gerasimova, & Gizatullina, 2021).

Self-control affects the quality of emotional health and how people are vulnerable to depression and stress and how they make the best decision in a sensitive situation; this influence varies from person to person, and one of the reasons for this difference is personality and personality traits.(Dumciene & Sipaviciene, 2021; Englert, 2021; González-Hernández, Cuevas-Campos, Tovar-Gálvez, & Melguizo-Rodríguez, 2020)

Prado et al. (2015), Joseph et al. (2018), Jones et al. (2017), Florin et al. (2021), Bagheri et al. (2021), and Greitemeyer et al. (2021) in examining the relationship between personality and self-control state that personality plays an important role in predicting self-control, cognitive beliefs and finally the emergence of different behavioral patterns(Bagheri Sheykhangafshe, Abolghasemi, & Kafi Masouleh, 2021b; Florin et al., 2021; Greitemeyer, 2022; Jones, Woodman, Barlow, & Roberts, 2017; Josephs, 2018; Prado, Treeby, & Crowe, 2015).

Personality is one of the common topics in the field of psychology, including sports psychology, which expresses the principles and rules of a person and the similarities between people. In examining personality, some psychologists such as Blank et al. (2018) emphasize on the structure of personality and examine its characteristics, while others, such as DeClercq et al. (2017), examine personality in a limited period (e.g., childhood) or throughout life(Blank et al., 2018; De Clercq, Hofmans, Vergauwe, De Fruyt, & Sharp, 2017). To study the personality, several structures have been proposed, including the dark triad structure of personality(Dębska, Dębski, Polechoński, Rozpara, & Tomik, 2021; Jones et al., 2017). The dark three structures are narcissistic personality traits, Machiavellianism, and psychopaths that are related to each other despite being independent(Dębska et al., 2021; Nguyen, Pascart, & Borteyrou, 2021).

In their studies, Karandikar et al. (2019) and Caliskan et al. (2018) emphasize on the relationship between personality traits, especially the dark triad of personality traits, individual differences, and moral values in different individuals(Caliskan & Özer, 2021; Karandikar, Kapoor, Fernandes, & Jonason, 2019). Saburi et al. (2016), and Aluja et al. (2022), also examined the threefold relationship between personality and physical activity and stated that there is a strong association between athletic performance, the dark triad of personality, and mental stubbornness which means that successful professional athletes can be tough and ruthless at the same time.(Aluja et al., 2022; Sabouri et al., 2016)

Furthermore, the study of the dark triad of personality in athletes by Gonzalez et al. (2020), Vaughan et al. (2019) and Ueno et al. (2017) showed that athletes, like other members of society, have different levels of the dark triad of personality. They also stated that Machiavellian athletes have traits such as deceptive behavior, control over others, authoritarianism, greed, exploitation, pessimism, indifference, emotional coldness, recklessness, and self-centeredness (González-Hernández et al., 2020; Ueno, Shimotsukasa, Suyama, & Oshio, 2017; R. Vaughan, Madigan, Carter, & Nicholls, 2019).  And as the results of other researches show, at a high-level dark triad of personality, there is a tendency to deviant behaviors and less perception of punishment. In addition, athletes with anti-social characteristics, like other people with this characteristic, lack empathy with others and do not express remorse for their sins or mistakes; this is considered as a very dangerous factor in predicting criminal behaviors and narcissistic athletes also consider themselves superior to others and also more important than others (Josephs, 2018; Karandikar et al., 2019; Nicholls et al., 2020; Papageorgiou et al., 2020). And in a study of the dark triad of personality and self-control, Flexin (2016), Florin (2021), and Greitemeyer (2022) emphasize on the strong and negative relationship between the dark triad of personality and self-control; they have stated that people with a high score in Machiavellianism have the lowest level of self-control compared to people with other dark personality traits(Flexon, Meldrum, Young, & Lehmann, 2016; Florin et al., 2021; Greitemeyer, 2022).

In addition, most studies have shown that dark personality traits have been linked with various factors such as mindfulness(Ryerson, 2018), decision making(Karandikar et al., 2019), physical activity(Dębska et al., 2021), sleep quality, Stress and mental stubbornness(Annen et al., 2017), doping and antisocial behaviors(Nicholls et al., 2020). But, in Iran, few controlled studies have examined the relationship between dark personality traits and self-control. Therefore, according to what has been said, the dark traits of personality and self-control both affect the behavior and success of people in various aspects, including sports and it can have important effects on how they think, deal with problems, their emotional health and their vulnerability to depression, and their ability to make decisions in sensitive situations and, consequently, their future.

Due to the novelty of this field and the research gap in the field, conducting the present research has become necessary, which can express important and new information.  Therefore, the researcher is trying to find answers to these questions: whether there is a connection between self-control and the dark triad of personality in student-athletes?  Can the dark triad of personality predict self-control? What is the contribution of each of the dark triad of personality in predicting self-control? Therefore, the present study investigates the triple role of dark personality in predicting self-control in 11-16year-old students in Tehran. 

Methods

The method used in this study is correlational and the subjects of this study were all female students of first and second secondary school in Tehran in the academic year 2021-2022. Among them, 200 people were selected based on multi-stage cluster random sampling. These students have been involved in sports teams (professional and non-professional) for at least 5 years. First, the necessary permits have been obtained from Education Department in Lorestan province. After the objectives of the research and the confidentiality of the questionnaire information have been fully explained to the participants, the questionnaires have been handed over in order to answer the items. They were asked to complete the questionnaire and submit them to the researchers. Standard questionnaires were used to collect data. Athletes were also asked to answer the questionnaires individually, with complete accuracy and honesty.

Participants

The statistical population of this study includes all female students of the first and second secondary school in Tehran in the academic year 2021-2022. Due to the type of the research, 200 people have been selected based on multi-stage cluster random sampling. Participants have an average age of 13.4 and an average sports experience of 5.2 years. The participants must at least have 5 years of sports experience (professional or non-professional) in sports teams. 

Demographic questionnaire

This researcher-made questionnaire includes information on age, gender, sport, sports history. 

Dark triad of personality Questionnaire

The 27-item dark triad of personality Questionnaire has three subscales and has been developed by Paulus and Jones (2011). Each of these three subscales also includes nine items which have been used to assess the three personality traits of narcissism, anti-socialism, and Machiavellianism. The items of this scale have been scored on a five-point Likert, from quite agree (1) to quite disagree (5). In the research of Paulos and Williams (2014), the alpha coefficient range is0.68 to 0.74 and also the internal correlation of 0.22 to 0.40 has been obtained for the subscales of this questionnaire. The analysis of the collected data showed that this scale has alpha coefficients of 0.65 to 0.82 in terms of reliability in three subscales. The results of confirmatory factor analysis support the three-factor structure of the scale (34). The reliability in this study is 0.87.

Self-control scale

Self-control questionnaire, as a self-report questionnaire, has been developed by Professor Tanjani et al. (2004) in two forms – 36 and 13 items – for measuring self-control, the material of which is set in a 5-point Likert scale from dissimilarity to very similarity.  The validity and reliability of this questionnaire was obtained in two stages of alpha 0.89 (1). The reliability obtained in this study is 0.83. 

Data Analysis Method

In this study, the dark triad variable of personality has been considered as the predictor variable and the self-control variable has been considered as the criterion variable. The statistical method used in the present study has been descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics have been used to calculate central indices and dispersion. Inferential statistics has been used to estimate and predict the research parameters. Due to the normality of the data through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (K-S), Pearson correlation coefficient has been used to determine the relationship between the dark triad of personality and self-control. Multiple regression analytical test has been also used to estimate self-control prediction by dark personality components. This statistical analysis has been performed using SPSS software version 23.

Results

Table 1 presents descriptive statistics indices (mean and standard deviation) and correlation coefficients between the three dark components of personality and self-control in student-athletes.

The results of correlation test show that the relationship between self-control and Machiavellianism (P<0 r=-0.646) r=-0582) r=-0.524)>

Multivariate regression analysis was performed with the input method to predict athletes' self-control through the three dark factors of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism and anti-socialism). Considering the value of determination coefficient (R2), the three dark personality factors explained about 55% of the variance of self-control (Table 2).

Beta values ​​and significance levels indicate that the three dark factors of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and antisocialism) are negatively contributing to the self-control prediction. Also, the predictor of narcissism (P <0 t =- xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed>

Self-control = - 2.96 (Machiavellianism) – 2.57 (narcissism) -0.597 (anti-social) -1.56.

Discussion

Sports psychologists and researchers in this field always emphasize on the special theories and methods to raise unique issues of sports and training. The aim of this study was to investigate the triple role of dark personality in predicting self-control in student-athletes. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant negative relationship between dark triad of personality and self-control. And the dark triad of personality explains about 55% of the variance in self-control. Among the three dark components, the narcissistic component was able to predict self-control with a coefficient of 7.17%, while the Machiavellian and anti-social components predicted self-control with coefficients of 5.5 and 2.76, respectively. Thus, narcissism has the greatest power in predicting self-control.

Regarding the relationship between the two main variables, the results of the present study were consistent with the findings of Flexon (2016), and inconsistent with the findings of Vaughan et al. (2019), Bagheri et al. (2021) and Ueno (2017) showed that in sports, controlling one's motivation or behavioral tendencies is very important for high-level performance. For example, athletes need to adjust their anxiety levels in cases of high physical and mental stress (such as sports races) in order to become calmer and more focused. Also, about doing a real task (for example, playing a basketball free throw), Force themselves to regularly participate in strenuous physical exercise or force themselves to follow exercises and plans for long courses of time. According to the results of previous researches, people with high self-control are more resistant to stress and welcome stressful situations and consider them essential for growth and development in life and sports. They have the lowest level of anxiety in many situations, have a firm belief and are not affected by difficulties and competition; they also regulate excitement and attention and support executive performance better than others. Based on the dark triad of personality definition, both sports and non-sports society has rejected people with malicious characteristics which as a result moves them towards failure.  But according to research by Jones (2019, 2017), and Papa Gorgio (2020) as a result of the dark triad of personality, People are able to withstand behavioral problems, overcome obstacles in social and sports life and achieve success and desirable results in difficult conditions. For example, recent researches have shown that narcissism and anti-socialism have a great ability to predict creativity and emotional intelligence and success in new areas and ideas.

In other words, the characteristics of dark triad of personality, despite being harmful, have good results in social and sports areas which due to the characteristics of people with high self-control and dark triad of personality, it can be said that self-control and the dark triad of personality can play a complementary role to each other. Because in life, there is defeat and victory for all people, whether athletes or non-athletes and without resistance and control, goals cannot be achieved. In addition to what has been said, this study confirmed the predictive power of self-control variance through the dark triad. And because self-control has always been affirmed as a positive attribute, it can be explained. As Flexon (2016), Khalikov et al. (2021), and Dumciene et al. (2021) emphasized, Self-control plays an important role in the performance of individuals at both individual and interpersonal levels and controlling or overcoming dominant behaviors or responsiveness tendencies to achieve a specific goal is the result of factors that result from self-control.

The results of this study are related to the components of dark triad of personality including Self-fascination, anti-socialism and Machiavelli component and control which was consistent with research conducted by Jones (2017, 2019), Flexon (2016) and Gonzalez et al. (2020). regarding the relationship between Machiavellian factor and self-control, they showed that although Machiavellian characters has a very low inclination to join others, but they pursue their goals very seriously and in addition to considering others as an obstacle to their success They also use deception and trickery. But they have considerable self-control to achieve their goals; for example, it was reported in the research of Jones (2016) and Nicholls (2020) that Machiavellian people have a lot of ground for sports doping, aggression, perfectionism and addiction which means that they work hard to reach their goals but they allowed themselves to do anything and believe that the purpose justifies the means through which they control individual and interpersonal cases. In this study, too, after narcissism, Machiavelli has more power in predicting self-control. In examining the relationship between narcissism and self-control, they showed that people with high self-control have this ability to interpret problems in a positive way in critical situations and to control negative feelings and emotions and in this study, narcissism has the greatest power in predicting self-control. But in examining the anti-social component, it should be noted that the result of the present study shows that anti-social component has the least power in predicting self-control compared to other dark triad of personality. According to the results of previous research and the behavioral characteristics of people with high anti-social scores such as not regretting wrong behavior, lack of empathy and understanding of others and as a result a lot of conflict and dealing with others which is consistent with the results of this research. 

In general, given the fact that the dark triad of personality responds in the short term and people facilitate the path to goals by considering themselves, a narcissistic character who consider themselves exceptional and special controls difficult situations; therefore, the significant relationship between the dark triad of personality and self-control component can be explained.

Athletes with high self-control consider different situations not as a threat but as an opportunity and a challenge. Because they find themselves successful in overcoming these challenges, they expect positive results. Machiavellian people, on the other hand, have a pessimistic view of other people. Pessimism that diminishes the morals of these people as a result, he can easily plan for others without feeling guilty and by taking advantage of others, pursue their goal and stay on track.

Selfish people also try to achieve success in life because of extreme fantasies about power and success and the need to be praised and encouraged by others. There is no single opinion on the extent of the control of dark triad in athletes. But according to all of the cases mentioned earlier, the researcher concluded that high self-control will definitely lead to more success for athletes and must be strengthened but caution is necessary in the dark triad of personality. These people need to maintain a degree of dark personality traits which make them stronger and more belligerent for achieving their goals. On the other hand, to prevent long-term consequences and excessive strengthening of dark triad of personality, these athletes must be under the supervision of a psychologist or sports psychologist.

Conclusion

According to the findings of the present study, the dark triad of personality has a negative and significant relationship with self-control, in such a way that high dark triad of personality leads to the lower self-control; Therefore, it is suggested to the Federation of Student Sports and Education to pay attention to the role and importance of the dark triad of personality in predicting self-control in student-athletes. And provide the background for recognizing the required amount of the dark triad of personality traits that provide stability of step, planning for the goal and being a fighter in achieving the goal and success in general so that they can achieve better results in sports competitions. It is also suggested that researchers in future research compare the above variables in two groups of athletes and non-athletes, other communities such as people with special needs and disabilities, adults and boys with more statistical samples, individual team sports, and different blood types.
