Need for drama is defined as a compound personality trait in which individuals impulsively manipulate others from a position of perceived victimization. Informally sharing news about someone’s personal affairs while the person is not a participant of the conversation is considered gossiping. The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship of the need for drama with the attitudes towards gossip, including the contribution of the need for drama components as predictors explaining the variance in attitudes towards gossip. In addition, their relations with participants’ sex and age were assessed. Participants in the study were 299 (223 females and 76 males) persons aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 33.00, SD = 11.23), who filled out an online questionnaire. The instruments used in this study include the Need for Drama Scale and the Attitudes Towards Gossip Scale. The results indicate a positive relationship of the need for drama and the attitudes towards gossip, including both social and moral value of gossip. Interpersonal manipulation was the only component of the need for drama that correlated positively with both dimensions of the attitude towards gossip and the only significant predictor of the overall attitude and its two dimensions. The persistent perceived victimhood component was not found to covary with attitude towards gossip, whereas the component of impulsive outspokenness was found to correlate significantly albeit weakly with the social value dimension of the attitude towards gossip. Also, significant negative association was found between age and attitudes towards gossip, in particular with its social value dimension. A significant sex difference was observed for measures of interpersonal manipulation and attitudes towards gossip (in particular, its moral value dimension), with male participants scoring higher than female participants.
