The tendency for interpersonal victimhood and the need for drama are maladaptive personality traits that target less desirable, but prevalent traits in the population that have been relatively recently defined. While the tendency for interpersonal victimhood is characterized by the permanent feeling being a victim in different interpersonal relationships (Gabay et al., 2020), need for drama is an undesirable trait characterized by impulsive manipulation of others from the position of perceived victimhood (Frankowski et al., 2016). These personality traits are associated with Interpersonal orientation, which represents the strategies a person uses in dealing with generalized others, and is expressed in the movement towards, away and against people (Mladenov, 2013). The aim of this study was to verify the latent structure and reliability of the measuring instrument the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood, since this is its first application on a Croatian sample, and also to examine its relationship with Interpersonal orientation and Need for drama on a sample of Croatian students. The research was conducted using an online questionnaire and the sample consisted of 351 students, more precisely 259 female, 88 male participants and 4 participants who didn`t want to identify with any gender, age 18 to 32 years, from a total of six state universities. The results obtained in this study confirm the existence of a fourfactors with one higher order factor solution of the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood scale. It was also determined that the Croatian translation of the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood scale has a satisfactory convergent validity, given that the results of participants on the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood scale were positively correlated with the results obtained on the persistent perceived victimhood subscale, but also with other results obtained on the entire Need for drama scale. While controlling alternately the results on the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood scale and the Need for drama scale, and controlling social desirability bias in both cases, it was found that the total score obtained on both scales positively correlates with the total score on negative (misanthropic) orientation, while the total score on the Tendency for interpersonal victimhood scale also correlates with the result in positive (philanthropic) orientation. Finally, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between males and females who participated in the study on most of the researched variables. However, it was found that male participants are more prone to interpersonal manipulation and expressing a greater need for drama compared to female participants. The research offers a better understanding of the relationships of examined personality traits that are becoming increasingly relevant in modern society given that glorifying dramatic behaviors and blindly supporting and advocating for self-proclaimed victims has never been more socially present and popular.
