The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software version 24 and the structural equation modeling method.

Narcissism (β=-0.124), Machiavellianism (β=-0.089), and antisociality (β=0.134) do not predict marital instability (P>0.05). Traumatic childhood experiences predict narcissism (β=0.543), Machiavellianism (β=0.630), and antisocial behavior (β=0.610). Traumatic childhood experiences predict borderline personality traits (β=0.833).
