title: Relating depressive symptoms to Machiavellianism in a Turkish sample.
abstract: The Turkish forms of Beck Depression Inventory and The Mach IV Scale were administered to all 690 students of a Military Medical School. There was a significant correlation of .21 between scores on the Beck Depression Inventory and those on the Mach IV scale for the 658 men. This was not surprising, given the characteristics of Machiavellian people previously described.
