The paper presents the results of research of fear of success in Polish students. The subjects were 208 university students of psychology, pedagogy, political science and physical education at the School of Physical Education. The projective method by Horner (1972, 1978) was used. The analysed variables were: sex, study major, average marks, locus of control, Machiavellianism, masculinity and femininity. Fear of success was observed in more than half of the investigated students - more frequently in men (62%) than in women (48%). In men the fear of success occurred more frequently and intensely. In the multiple regression analyses showed that sex (male) and Machiavellianism are predictors of the fear of success. The fear of success occurred the least frequently in the students of physical education.

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between Machiavellianism and some characteristics of same-sex friendships. Machiavellianism was positively related to the amount of lost friends and negatively related to closeness, friendship satisfaction, friend's support satisfaction and evaluations of partner's supporting behaviour. These results suggest, that high-Machs may fail in long-term, intimate relationships.

Machiavellianism is a term used to describe the dimension of personality or the strategy of social conduct that involves manipulating others for personal gain. The concept was introduced by the psychologists Richard Christie and Florence Geis in their monograph Studies in Machiavellianism (1970). Since 1970 several hundred studies examined Machiavellianism. This article presents a review of literature on Machiavellianism from 1991 to 2008, stressing those findings that have modified portraits of Machiavellian and non-Machiavellian individuals, as depicted originally by Christie and Geis.

Machiavellianism (Mach), is a set of traits expressed through lack of empathy, lack of concern for others, instrumental use of others, and doubtful morality. Emotional Intelligence (El) is the ability to understand, control and manage own emotions, to self-motivate, and to be endowed with empathy and social skills. Anxiety is a psychological state associated with sense of threat, when one cannot identify its tangible source. The goal of the study was to test the hypothesis predicting gender differences in the level of Mach and its factors such as cynicism, flattery, immorality, and fraud. The additional purpose was to check the role of emotional intelligence and anxiety as a trait in individual differences in Machiavellianism. The study included 1 !4 men and 137 women aged 18- 69. MACH IV scale, questionnaire for emotional intelligence and the STAI questionnaire were used. The study confirmed previous findings that Machiavellianism is higher in males that in women (total scale and subscales, except subscale flattery). High level of Machiavellianism was associated with low level of emotional intelligence and high level of anxiety. High level of cynicism, flattery, and immorality were accompanied by the low level of management of emotions.. A set of interactions between gender and El factors revealed that cynicism was higher in men than women, if they also had a low self-motivation and empathy; and immorality was higher in men than women, if they had high interpersonal skills. Anxiety, irrespective of gender, was positively associated with all factors of Machiavellianism.

The theory of mind - a capacity of attributing mental states to other individuals - plays a crucial role in social life. On the one hand, it facilitates one's cooperation with group members, and, on the other hand, it makes it possible to manipulate others for achieving one's own purposes. In the recent study an attempt has been made to analyse certain important aspects of the complex relationship between theory of mind and social behaviour. For examining mindreading capacity, subjects were asked to follow short stories, and the level of Machiavellianism and cooperative ability was measured by using various tests. The authors have shown that Machiavellianism is negatively associated with a readiness for cooperation: those persons who are more inclined to manipulate others show a lower degree of cooperation. Second, strong correlation was found between mindreading capacity and cooperative ability. This finding could be interpreted that the better mindreading capacity one has, the higher level of cooperation with others one shows. Finally, no significant association was found between theory of mind and Machiavellianism. This result did not support their assumption that those persons who more easily take the others' perspective and understand their intentions and knowledge, efficiently and successfully manipulate the others. For the discussion of gthe authots' results - especially the third one - the hypothesis of 'cold' and 'hot' empathy, the representation of moral emotions, and other cognitive explanatory models were used.

Machiavellians are usually associated with unusually high interpersonal skills which seem to be vital for effective manipulation of other people. However, the current research has not confirmed such an opinion. The aim of this study was to examine relations between Machiavellianism (Mach) and self-report emotional intelligence (EI as a trait), self-report social competences (SC) and recognizing emotions from facial expressions. Mach was negatively correlated with EI and SC overall result and with subscales of social competences in intimate situations (SC-I) and in situations requiring social exposure (SC-ES). There was no correlation between Mach and recognizing emotions and between Mach and social competences in situations requiring assertiveness (SC-A). Exploratory path analyses showed a direct negative association between Mach and EI, SC-I and SC-ES. Mach predicted indirectly (through mediation of EI) SC-I, SC-ES and SC-A.

While the personality of helping professionals has been the subject of research for quite some time, the approach towards this has changed over this period. While most research (e.g. Bakker et al., 2006; Mlcák & Záskodná, 2008) focuses more on adaptive personality traits - the so called „bright side“ (Oluf & Furnham, 2015) -, less attention was paid to the fact that, as with every person, a helping professional possesses, to some degree , maladaptive personality traits, or a „dark side. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship of three aversive personality traits: Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy - nowadays known by experts as the Dark Triad (Paulhus & Williams, 2002) - ; with work satisfaction on a sample of helping professionals - pedagogical workers, healthcare workers, rescue workers and social workers. The study was conducted on a sample of 151 participants from different sectors of the helping professions. The Slovak version of Short Dark Triad - SD3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2014; Čopková, in review) and the Slovak version of Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985; Mesárošová, 2016) were administered. The Slovak version of Short Dark Triad consists of 27 items that saturate three subscales – Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy. Slovak version of Job satisfaction survey is based on the original Job satisfaction survey (Spector, 1985; Mesárošová, 2016)), which is aimed at capturing job satisfaction in the humanitarian sectors, so its use is suitable for a sample of helping professionals.
