ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship among Machiavellianism,loneliness and coping style in adolescents.Methods 850 junior middle school students were recruited and assessed with Kiddie Machiavellianism Scale,Self-esteem Scale,and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (for students).Mediating effect was analyzed by multiple regression analysis.Results ① The scores of Machiavellianism,loneliness,positive coping and negative coping were (37.35±7.52),(30.21 ± 10.72),(21.07±6.12) and (9.44± 3.84) respectively.② Machiavellianism was positively correlated with negative coping style (r=0.192,P<0.01) and loneliness (r=0.263,P< 0.01),as well as negatively correlated with positive coping style (r=-0.244,P<0.01).③ Positive coping style partially mediated the effect of Machiavellianism on loneliness,and the mediating role accounted for 37.72% for the whole effect.Conclusion The higher the Machiavellianism is,the more serious the loneliness is.Positive coping style partially mediates the relations between Machiavellianism and loneliness.
