Özet
This study aims to investigate the associations between the Dark Triad personality (DTP), the Light Triad personality (LTP), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB), and the mediating roles of value orientations (biospheric, egoistic, and altruistic values) in these relationships. A total of 312 individuals aged between 18 and 56 (M = 27.45; SD = 9.32) participated in this study. Path analysis showed that DTP was associated with an increase in the egoistic and with a decrease in the altruistic and biospheric value orientations. Additionally, LTP was associated with increased altruistic and biospheric value orientations. Last, LTP and DTP predicted pro-environmental behavioral intentions and past PEB via biospheric value orientation. Implications are discussed.
