THE “LIGHT” OF NARCIISM IN THE STRUCTURE OF “DARK TRIAD”

Abstract

It was investigated the place of “healthy” narcissism in the structure of personality traits called “Dark Tri­ad”. It was found that the process of achieving goals and personal senses of life are influenced by the features of narcissism, macawavellism and psychopathy (in their “healthy” manifestations). It was substantiated that narcissism is the most adaptive construct of the triad: effectively functioning narcissistic self-regulation acts in the direction of maintaining a positive affective balance, feelings of internal stability, self-worth, adequate self-esteem, self-confidence, and the sense of integrity of Self.
