15. Machiavellianism in Psychology
The term ‘Machiavellianism’ has entered the field of psychology, describing a personality trait marked by manipulation, cunning, and a focus on self-interest. This concept, explored in Verywell Mind, is now recognized as part of the “Dark Triad” of personality traits.
Machiavelli’s name has thus become synonymous with a distinctly calculating approach to human relationships and social influence.
