ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, internet ortamında genellikle romantik partnerlerle tanışma işlevi taşıyan çevrim içi tanışma servisleri (ÇTS)ni kullanan ve kullanmayan bireylerin, karanlık üçlü (KÜ) kişilik özellikleri ve problemli internet davranışlarının incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu doğrultuda, 18-64 (ortalama=29,83±7,99 yıl) yaş arasında olan, Türkiye'nin farklı şehirlerinden 463 katılımcının verileri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, ÇTS kullanım alışkanlıklarıyla ilgili soruları içeren sosyodemografik formun yanında, Jones ve Paulhus tarafından geliştirilen kısaltılmış karanlık üçlü ölçeği ve Kızıltepe tarafından geliştirilen çevrim içi sosyal etkileşim durumları (trol davranış) ölçeği kullanılmıştır.Veriler, çevrim içi anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, ÇTS'yi kullanmış olan bireylerin, KÜ toplam puanları ve trol davranış ölçeği toplam puanları, kullanıcı olmayan bireylerinkinden anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. ÇTS'yi aktif olarak kullanan bireylerin, KÜ psikopati ve Makyavelizm alt boyutlarının toplam puanları, kullanıcı olmayanlardan anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunurken, benzer bir farklılık narsisizm alt boyutu için gözlemlenmemiştir. Ayrıca bireylerin, KÜ toplam puanları ile trol davranış ölçeği toplam puanları arasında pozitif yönde ve orta düzeyde bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, KÜ kişilik özelliklerine sahip olma ve problemli internet davranışı sergilemenin, ÇTS kullanımını etkileyebildiği görülmüştür. Literatür dâhilinde ilgili olabileceği düşünülen, sosyodemografik değişkenler de incelenmiş ve bulgular literatür çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study aims to examine the difference of dark triad traits and online trolling behaviors between users and nonusers of online dating services' (ODS) which are generally used for meeting possible romantic partners. Material and Methods: In this direction, socio-demographic questionnaire that includes questions about ODS usage habits, Short Dark Triad Personality Inventory developed by Jones and Paulhus and Trolling Behavior Scale developed by Kızıltepe were used. Scores of participants from different cities of Turkey between the age of 18 and 64 (mean=29.83±7.99 years) were analyzed. Data gathered from online survey. Results: Results showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the short dark triad inventory and trolling behavior scale scores of ODS' users and non-users. Participants who are active users of OCD showed higher scores of antisocial and Machiavellianism subtypes but no difference was found for narcissism subtype scores. In addition, a statistically significant moderate positive relationship was found between the short dark triad inventory and trolling behavior scale scores. Conclusion: In line with the results, it's seen that dark triad traits and problematic internet behaviors affect the usage of ODS. Moreover, sociodemographic variables taught to be related were examined and results were discussed accordingly with the literature.
