Abstract
The present study aims to measure the impact of dark triad personality traits on attitude towards infidelity among married individuals. The cross-sectional research design was employed in this study. Sample size was justified through Apriori sample size calculator. In total, 132 participants were selected from Multan, Bahawalpur, Lahore and Faisalabad using purposive sampling technique. Two questionnaires; Short Dark triad- SD3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2011) and Attitude toward Infidelity Scale (Whatley, 2006) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. The results revealed that dark triad personality traits including all subscales; machiavellianism, narcissism & psychopathy, was significantly positively correlated with Attitude toward infidelity. Dark triad personality traits were also found to be a significant predictor of attitude towards infidelity. Implications of the study along with its limitations were discussed and recommendations for future research have been suggested.
