A cross sectional study was conducted to assess the role of dark triads
in bullying and victimization behavior in 479 students (boys = 245, girls
= 234) (M age = 15.11, SD = 1.24). It was hypothesized that dark triads
would be positively related to bullying and victimization. The Adolescent
Peer Relations Instruments (Parada, 2000) was used to assess bullying
and victimization, and the Short D3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2014) was used to
measure three dark triads i.e., machiavellianism, narcissism and
psychopathy. Results indicated that machiavellianism and psychopathy
were positively related to bullying and narcissism was positively related
to victimization. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to assess
the role of dark triads in bullying, controlling for victimization; and role
of dark triads in victimization, controlling for bullying, in boys and girls.
The results demonstrated that among dark triads only psychopathy
positively predicted bullying but none of the dark triads predicted
victimization in adolescents. The findings of this work have important
implications for school counselors to identify the vulnerable students and
develop remedial programs for them
