I am currently conducting research into the dark triad and attitudes to cheating and was looking for some guidance in regards to the analysis. I want to analyse the Dark Triad traits as separate conducts as well as having an overall impact of the Dark Triad on attitudes to cheating, how would I go around actually making this possible on SPSS?
Thank you
How about using multiple regression with the Dark Triad traits as predictor (independent) variables and attitude as the dependent variable?
I would add that although people analyse scores on scales like attitudes to cheating as if they were based on a defined scale unit, it's probably best not to. See

Ordinal logistic regression might be a better bet.
