Relacije Mračne tetrade, aleksitimije i distresa: analiza na nivou faceta, antagonističkog i agensnog faktora mračnih crta. (Bosnian)

The main goal of this research is to determine the relationship between the Dark Tetrad traits and the alexithymia factors, taking into account the multidimensional nature of the dark lines, as well as their antagonistic (maladaptive) aspects and agency aspects (more adaptive aspects). Additionally, the mediator role of the alexithymia factors in the relationship between the dark traits and distress was examined. On a sample of 355 participants (71.3% female) from the general population, the following instruments were used: Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scales (LSRP), Five Factor Machiavellianism Inventory (FFMI), Short Form of the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory (FFNI-SF), and Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP). The results showed that dark traits and alexithymia factors shared 56% of the common variance, and that the main predictors of alexithymia are secondary psychopathy in the positive direction and Machiavellian agency in the negative direction, followed by the narcissistic antagonism and primary psychopathy, both in a positive direction. The results showed that the factor od dark traits that contains agentic characteristics at the positive pole had a higher and negative contribution in explaining alexithymia and distress, compared to the factor that contains primarily antagonistic features. The most explained factor of alexithymia based on dark traits is factor that refers to problems in the identification of emotions, and this factor is also a solely significant mediator in the prediction of distress based on alsmost all facets and both factors of Dark Tetrad traits. Thus, mainly antagonistic dark traits are positively related to distress because of higher emotional deficits in indentification of emotions, while dark traits which more refer to agency are negatively related to distres because of lower emotional deficits.

Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrđivanje relacija između crta Mračne tetrade i faktora aleksitimije i distresa, uzimajući u obzir multidimenzionalnu prirodu mračnih crta, kao i njihove antagonističke (maladaptivne) aspekte i aspekte delotvornosti ili agensne aspekte (adaptivnije aspekte). Dodatno, ispitana je medijatorska uloga faktora aleksitimije u odnosu između mračnih crta i distresa. Na uzorku od 355 ispitanika (71.3% ženskog pola) iz opšte populacije, primenjeni su sledeći instrumenti: Toronto skala aleksitimije (TAS-21), Skala depresije, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS-21), Levensonova skala psihopatije (LSRP), Petofaktorski inventar makijavelizma (FFMI), Kratka verzija Petofaktorskog inventara narcizma (FFNI-SF) i Procena sadističke ličnosti (ASP). Rezultati pokazuju da facete mračnih crta i faktori aleksitimije dele 56% zajedničke varijanse, te da su dominantni prediktori aleksitimije sekundarna psihopatija u pozitivnom smeru i makijavelistička delotvornost u negativnom smeru, a potom i narcistički antagonizam i primarna psihopatija, oba u pozitivnom smeru. Rezultati pokazuju da faktor mračnih crta koji okuplja agensne karakteristike na pozitivnom polu ostvaruje veći i negativni doprinos u objašnjenju aleksitimije i distresa, u odnosu na faktor koji okuplja primarno antagonističke karakteristike. Mračnim crtama je najviše objašnjen faktor aleksitimije koji se odnosi na probleme u identifikaciji emocija, i ujedno je ovaj faktor jedini značajan medijator u predikciji distresa na osnovu skoro svih faceta i oba faktora Mračne tetrade. Naime, primarno antagonističke crte su pozitivno povezane sa distresom usled većeg deficita u identifikaciji emocija, dok su mračne crte koje se više odnose na delotovrnost negativno povezane sa distresom zbog manjih emocionalnih deficita.
