| Summary: | Within an Ideological Surround Model, a self is the pluralistic dialogical construction of standards across private, communal, and public space. In 371 undergraduates, Religious Compatibility Ratings for Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy brought standards of the Dark Triad into dialogue with standards of religion. Positive correlations among Religious Compatibility Ratings confirmed a Dark Triad dialogical integration of ‘religion’. Other relationships suggested complex mental health and religious implications of an Extrinsic Dark Triad Religious Orientation. Religious Compatibility Ratings mediated relationships of gender with Dark Triad scales and with the Intrinsic Religious Orientation. Ratings also mediated some Dark Triad associations with other measures. Overall, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy appeared to be maladjusted social rationalities that dialogically integrated ‘religion’ as a subjugation of intrinsic religiousness. Narcissism instead reflected a psychologically ambiguous social rationality with a ‘religion’ that largely ignored intrinsic religiousness. This study most generally used an Extrinsic Dark Triad Religious Orientation to illustrate the complexities of ‘religion’ within the dialogical structures of the pluralistic self. |
