Abstract :
Non-clinical psychoanalysis and narcissism have both been widely discussed in the finance and financial economics literature as personality traits that can motivate or permit unethical behavior. Although both words imply jealousy and a sense of entitlement, they have relatively specific characteristics and therefore do not have much to do with each other. Therefore, it is possible that they jointly and independently contribute to the explanation. In the last decade. This research developed in a on the number and nature of aspects of personality that should be considered dark. Those dark aspects of the personality that have been in the focus of experimental and research attention in the last decade include the dark triple traits, which consist of three personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Moral psychology is one of the important fields of research that has received increasing attention in recent years in order to understand moral judgments and decisions. Many studies have focused on a set of personality traits, called the dark triad of personality, and have examined the relationship between these traits and moral judgments. Therefore, based on this argument, the present study examines the relationship between Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychological as three dark words of the attitude of financial economics students of Central Tehran University on demographic variables using a sample of 700 students. The findings of the research indicate that there is no significant relationship between the three words of dark personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychological) of students and the demographic variables of Tehran University students.
