GONZALEZ, J; GARITA-CAMPOS, D  e  GODOY-IZQUIERDO, D. The dark triad of personality and its psychological implications in sport. A systematic review. CPD [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.187-204.  Epub 25-Set-2023. ISSN 1989-5879.

The Dark Triad of Personality (DTP) has received a growing interest by the scientific community, due to the explanatory contributions offered by its characteristics to factors widely investigated in the research on personality. Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy configure a constellation of factors that underlie variables such as self-concept, psychological adjustment and social relationships. There is a lack of studies on such constructs in sports contexts, and they are mainly focused on immoral behavior, inability to self-regulate impulses and configurations of perfectionist beliefs regarding athletic success. With the purpose of reflecting the published papers within a systematic review, the main links between the dimensions of the DTP and other variables in athletes are described. Original articles in English and Spanish published in the platforms and electronic databases Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, MEDline, and EBSCO-HOST were reviewed, taking into account the principles established by the PRISMA and AMSTAR statements for the qualitative and quantitative description of findings in systematic reviews. Of the 72 articles identified, 29 met the established inclusion criteria. Coaches and athletes are the figures that have received greater interest in the study of DTP traits. The variables most related to DTP are exercise dependence, perfectionism, leadership, aggressivity, attitudes towards cheating and locus of control.
