Machiavellianism

Machiavellianism examines the complexities of the Machiavellian trait, in relation to attitude, behaviour, and personality. By integrating results and experiences from social, personality, cognitive, and evolutionary psychology, this book explores the characteristics of Machiavellianism (such as social intelligence, deception, manipulation, lack of empathy etc.), and the causes and motives guiding Machiavellian behaviour. The author also explores Machiavellianism in relation to the construct of the Dark Triad. This is fascinating reading for students and researchers of psychology and related courses, as well as professionals dealing with Machiavellians in their work and practice.
