Аннотация:The current study focuses on examining the Dark Triad of personality traits (Machiavellism, narcissism, and psychopathy) in representatives of the professional community of teachers belonging to three different levels of the education system. Accordingly, the participants represented three different professional groups of educators: 154 kindergarten teachers, 147 school teachers and 101 university teachers. The total sample comprised 402 participants including 372 women and 30 men aged from 19 to 84 years old (M = 32.40, SD = 10.30). The Russian-language adaptation of the Short questionnaire of the Dark Triad (SD3) was used for measurements. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed certain significant differences in the expression of the Dark Triad traits between these professional groups. In addition, the results of the correlation analysis showed some differences in the structure of the Dark Triad traits, which were typical for each group of teachers. These results are consistent with the ongoing discussion about the contradictory conclusions of studies of the Dark triad of personality conducted on various professional and social samples allowing us to assume (on the example of teachers types) that the structure of the Dark Triad is profession-specific as it differs even among related professional groups, such as kindergarten, school and university teachers.
