Geographical Mobility and Machiavellianism
To test the hypothesis that frequency of geographical mobility would be related positively to Machiavellianism the Nachamie Kiddie Mach Scale was administered to a group of 101 high-school students. Total moves made by the respondents' families correlated –.11 with scores on the Mach scale, which did not support the hypothesis. A subsequent analysis of mobility during the first grade did show that respondents who moved were about seven points higher on the Mach scale than respondents who did not move.
