Yanıt Açıklaması:

Among the socially aversive personalities cited in Kowalski (2001), one has attracted the most empirical attention: Machiavellianism. The construct of Machiavellianism, the manipulative personality—emerged from Machiavelli’s original book of Prince (Paulhus and Williams, 2002). Within the personality theories literature, Machiavellianism has been stated as the dark personality characteristics. Machiavellianism is a personality trait that is characterized by manipulative and exploitative attitude toward others, lack of empathy, and a cynical view of human nature (Inancsi, Lang and Bereczkei, 2016). Machiavellians are characterized by agency and progress rather than connectedness to others and the community. Thus, they are usually autonomous, self-seeking, and lack social connectedness with others. These people are described as being coldhearted, self-seeking, dominant and lacking emphaty (Jones and Paulhus, 2011; Inancsi et al., 2016). Machiavellianism may be delineated by a combination of attributes such as dominant, self-seeking-utilitarian, secretive, suspicious, norm-avoiding, thinking in concrete and pragmatic terms as well as emotionally unstable and anxious in the context of close relationships (Inancsi, Lang and Bereczkei, 2015). The correct answer is Choice C.
