Very little is known about the relationship between antagonistic personality traits and membership in Greek-letter organizations (GLOs). The present study (N = 2191) examined the association between the Dark Tetrad traits-Machiavellianism, grandiose narcissism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism-and membership in sororities and fraternities. Participants who were high in grandiose narcissism were more likely to be in sororities and fraternities, whereas participants who were high in Machiavellianism and everyday sadism were less likely to be in these organizations. Psychopathy was not significantly associated with membership in GLOs. Taken together, the present results suggest that members of GLOs are not necessarily more manipulative, cold-hearted, or cruel than their non-GLO counterparts, but they may be more entitled, domineering, and status-seeking.
关于敌对人格特质与希腊字母组织(GLOs)成员身份之间的关系,我们所知甚少。本研究(N = 2191)考察了黑暗四人格特质——马基雅维利主义、浮夸自恋、精神病态和日常施虐倾向——与姐妹会和兄弟会成员身份之间的关联。浮夸自恋程度高的参与者更有可能加入姐妹会和兄弟会,而马基雅维利主义和日常施虐倾向程度高的参与者加入这些组织的可能性较小。精神病态与GLOs成员身份没有显著关联。综合来看,目前的结果表明,GLOs的成员不一定比非GLOs的成员更善于操纵、冷酷无情或残忍,但他们可能更有优越感、专横且追求地位。
