چکیده
پژوهش حاضر با هدف تعیین رابطه ابعاد تاریک و روشن شخصیت با رضایت از زندگی با میانجی گری جهت گیری های ارزشی انجام شد. طرح پژوهش، توصیفی از نوع همبستگی با استفاده از روش معادلات ساختاری بود. به همین منظور، تعداد 400 نفر از افراد مراجعه کننده به مراکز بهداشتی شهر تبریز به روش نمونه گیری دردسترس انتخاب شدند. برای گردآوری اطلاعات از پرسشنامه رضایت از زندگی، پرسشنامه صفات تاریک شخصیت، پرسشنامه سه گانه روشن شخصیت و پرسشنامه نظام ارزشی استفاده شد. سپس داد ه ها با استفاده از روش معادلات ساختاری تجزیه وتحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان دادند ابعاد تاریک شخصیت بر رضایت از زندگی اثر منفی داشت، ابعاد روشن شخصیت بر رضایت از زندگی اثر مثبت داشت، بین ابعاد تاریک شخصیت با رضایت از زندگی و میانجی گری جهت گیری های ارزشی رابطه منفی وجود داشت و بین ابعاد روشن شخصیت با رضایت از زندگی با میانجی گری جهت گیری های ارزشی رابطه مثبت وجود داشت؛ بنابراین، ابعاد تاریک و روشن شخصیت و نحوه جهت گیری ارزشی با میزان رضایت از زندگی مرتبط است؛ از این رو، می توان با تدوین مداخلات روان درمانی ازطریق تأثیرگذاری بر متغیرهای ابعاد تاریک و روشن شخصیت و جهت گیری ارزشی، اثربخشی این متغیرها بر رضایت از زندگی را بررسی کرد.The Relationship Between Dark and Light Dimensions of Personality with Life Satisfaction Mediated by Value Orientations
Different studies have examined the relationship between dark and light personality dimensions and life satisfaction. Using the structural equation method, this correlational descriptive study aimed to determine the relationship between dark and light dimensions of personality with life satisfaction as mediated by value orientations. To this end, 400 people who referred to health centers in Tabriz, Iran were selected through convenience sampling method. To collect data, Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, Dark Triad Personality Questionnaire, Light Triad Personality Questionnaire, and the Value System Questionnaire were used. Then the data were analyzed using the structural equation method. While the dark dimensions had a negative effect on life satisfaction, the light dimensions had a positive effect. There was a negative relationship between dark dimensions and life satisfaction as mediated by value orientations. Meanwhile, there was a positive relationship between light dimensions and life satisfaction as mediated by value orientations. Therefore, the dark and light dimensions of personality and the way of value orientation are related to the level of life satisfaction. Accordingly, researchers can examine the effectiveness of these variables on life satisfaction through developing psychotherapy interventions influencing the variables of dark and light dimensions of personality and value orientation. Introduction * Various personality variables affect the level of life satisfaction. The dark dimensions, including antisocial, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, have a direct role in people's attitudes towards life (Paulhus &Williams, 2002). Various studies have shown the negative relationship between dark personality traits and life satisfaction (Marashi et al., 2017; Sharifinia & Harun Rashidi, 2020). The light dimensions, including three dimensions of humanity, faith in humanity, and Kantianism (Kaufman et al., 2019) along with the way of value orientation have a positive relationship with life satisfaction (Sadeghi et al., 2018). While people with light personality traits use developed defense mechanisms (Wood et al., 2010) leading to life satisfaction, people with dark personality traits choose anti-moral values in life (Oboyle et al., 2012) which result in dissatisfaction with life. Considering the essential role of personality traits and the type of value orientation in the level of life satisfaction, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dark and light dimensions of personality with life satisfaction mediated by value orientation. Method This descriptive correlational research used structural equation method. Using the available sampling method, a total of 400 individuals referring to the health centers in Tabriz, Iran were selected. The following four questionnaires were completed by participants. Life Satisfaction Questionnaire: This five-item scale was developed by Diener et al. (1985). A higher score indicates more satisfaction with life. Diener et al. obtained the reliability of this scale with Cronbach's alpha method (0.86). In the present study, Cronbach's alpha obtained for this scale was 0.78. Dark Triads Personality Questionnaire : This 12-item scale was designed by Johnson and Webster (2010) and includes three subscales: Machiavellianism, antisociality, and narcissism. Johnson and Webster reported the test-retest reliability coefficient of this questionnaire as 0.89 for the entire scale. In the present study, Cronbach's alphas obtained for Machiavellian, antisocial, and narcissistic subscales were 0.79, 0.69, and 0.73, respectively. Light Triads Personality Questionnaire : This scale was designed by Kaufman et al. (2019) and consists of three subscales: Kantianism, humanity, and faith in humanity. The internal reliability coefficient for this scale was estimated as 0.84 in the original study (Kaufman et al., 2019). In our study, Cronbach's alphas obtained for the variables of Kantianism, humanity, and faith in humanity were 0.69, 0.72, and 0.68, respectively. The Value System Questionnaire : This scale was developed by Schwartz (2006) and consists of 57 questions and ten scales of the value system. The Cronbach's alphas reported by Schwartz for the subscales of benevolence, traditionalism, conformity, security, power, arousal, hedonism, success, spontaneity, and cosmopolitanism were 0.61, 0.37, 0.48, 0.64, 0.50, 0.69, 0.79, 0.52, 0.53, 0.57, respectively. In the present study, the alpha obtained for each of the subscales was estimated to be more than 0.67. Results While the dark dimensions had a negative effect on life satisfaction, the light dimensions had a positive effect. There was a significant relationship between the dark and light dimensions with life satisfaction as mediated by value orientations. Table 1 shows the Pearson’s correlation matrix for the studied variables. Table 1.

There was a significant positive relationship between the light dimensions with value orientations and life satisfaction. Also, there was a significant positive relationship between value orientations and life satisfaction. .83 .68 .58 Figure 1. Structural Model of Dark and Light Dimensions Mediated by Value Orientation on Life Satisfaction To investigate the indirect relationship between the dark and light dimensions with life satisfaction as mediated by value orientations, the bootstrap method was used (Table 2). Table 2.

Conclusion This study investigated the relationship between the dark and light dimensions with life satisfaction through the mediating role of value orientation. According to the results, while the dark dimensions had a negative effect on life satisfaction, the light dimensions had a positive effect on it. According to psychological theories, life satisfaction is widely influenced by a person's developmental background such as personality traits. Dark personality traits show the tendency to experience more unpleasant emotional states such as anger, sadness, despair, and other negative emotions. These people perceive life stressful and are dissatisfied with their social support, which can explain lower levels of life satisfaction. People with clear personality traits have extensive verbal and communication skills, which facilitates relationships with others, provides them with more social support, and increases life satisfaction. In our study, there was a relationship between the dark and light dimensions of personality with life satisfaction mediated by value orientations. People who have light personality dimensions experience more life satisfaction through choosing positive defense mechanisms, realistic views, and moral value orientations in life. People with dark personality dimensions adopt an anti-moral value orientation, which ultimately causes dissatisfaction with life. Accordingly, psychologists and counselors should pay more attention to the role of personality variables and value orientations in the beginning and continuation of psychological interventions in primary prevention programs and interventional and clinical work.
