The need for drama is defined as a complex unadjusted personality trait in which people impulsively manipulate others, while putting themselves in the position of a victim. The need for drama includes three dimensions: interpersonal manipulation, impulsive outspokenness and persistent perceived victimhood. Since this is a relatively new construct, the aim of this research was to determine the relationship of the need for drama with the dark triad personality traits and jealousy. The research involved 212 participants (38 men, 174 women) aged 20-35 years. The following measuring instruments were used in the research: The need for Drama scale, The Short Dark Triad Scale, Multidimensional Jealousy Scale and Relationship Satisfaction Scale. A statistically significant correlation was found between the need for drama, dark triad personality traits and jealousy. Participants with more pronounced dark triad personality traits and participants who experience higher levels of jealousy are more prone to drama. In examining the predictive contribution of dark personality traits and components of jealousy to need for drama, machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy and behavioral jealousy proved to be significant predictors. It was also found that participants who were satisfied with their relationship were less prone to dramatic behavior.
