Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2025/Dark triad and power seeking motivation
Add topicSuggstions
[edit source]Hey there,
your page looks good and as though you've started doing your research and you have some helpful tips in the previous comments here. I see that one of you focus questions isn't really a question "Some of the main psychological theories towards power motivation and the role the dark triad plays into it " that's fine that you want to talk about those things just remove it from your questions.
Also I think your chapter not only allows you to have some cool scenarios which I can see you're using but also super cool case studies on what drives some important/ well known people to seek power like, Michael Jordan the basketball player or Adolf Hitler or even someone like Taylor Swift. I don't know pick some people you like and use them to demonstrate your point.
good luck

Comment
[edit source]Hi! I came across your topic on the dark triad and power seeking motivation, and thought I could help with some research suggestions. I wrote an essay on the dark triad in workplace settings last year, and narcissism came up a lot in research in relation to high motivation and commitment to the workplace. Hopefully this can link into power seeking and helps you with your research. Looking forward to reading your finished book chapter! Tatteredwing (discuss • contribs) 02:16, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit source]I think maybe Machiavelliasm is the most related to power motivation? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:23, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Suggestions - Dark Triad (DT) in workplace settings
[edit source]Hi @Joan-E-1405, I am excited to read this topic!
Something I found really interesting when I did an essay on the Dark Triad last year was to consider the application of the DT in the workplace. I'm going to copy a paragraph from my essay below because I found it really interesting:
Although the DT traits are generally associated with negative outcomes, there may be some limited usefulness in specific situations as outlined by Kaufmann et al. (2021). For example, individuals with moderate levels of narcissism may display self-assurance and charm that can be beneficial in leadership roles or sales positions. In moderation, Machiavellianism can be linked to strategic thinking and adaptability. In a subclinical form, psychopathy may manifest as fearlessness and individuals may have the ability to remain calm under pressure, which is advantageous in high-stress professions (like emergency services) (Viller et al., 2021).
You might find it interesting to deep dive into the workplace aspect of the DT - why might these individuals seek power? Or is it just that their personality types end up in roles which have power?
Really interested to read more :) U3225022 (discuss • contribs) 13:02, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oh don't forget to fix up your referencing to adhere to APA - get rid of the dot points and insert hanging indents.
- James provides how to insert hanging indents in this part of the discussion board on the UC website: Topic: PDF export - References don't have the hanging function applied (canberra.edu.au) U3225022 (discuss • contribs) 13:03, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Suggestion
[edit source]Hi, excited to see what you find and discuss in your chapter. I found this informative research article that might help you build some ideas in your "power seeking motivations". It devles into specific types of power seeking motivations. https://doi.org/10.2466/pr0.1988.63.1.9
Hope it helps, Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AliciaEdwards1212 (talk • contribs) 23:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
