“…Most important was the observation that men scored higher than women on both Adaptive and Maladaptive Narcissism. Such outcomes seemed consistent with previous demonstrations that gender development and sex role orientations make sense within Kohut's (1977) understanding of self-maturation (Sawrie, Watson, & Biderman, 1991;Watson, Biderman, & Boyd, 1989;Watson, Biderman, & Sawrie, 1994).…”

Theory and research suggest that an internalization of psychological “structure” related to self-esteem may mediate relationships of Maladaptive Narcissism with higher and Adaptive Narcissism with lower Anger. In the present study (N = 623), Self-Esteem and Contingency of Self-Worth Scales served as presumed indices of the presence or absence of structure. Maladaptive Narcissism predicted greater Anger and a relative absence of structure whereas Adaptive Narcissism displayed an opposite pattern of results. Constructs assessing structure partially mediated the Maladaptive Narcissism relationship with greater Anger. Mediation analyses also revealed that structure not only fully mediated the inverse Adaptive Narcissism linkage with Anger, but also suppressed an association with greater Anger that would otherwise have been evident. These data supported the idea that psychological structure related to self-esteem is noteworthy in explaining the implications of narcissism for personality and interpersonal functioning.

“…Shimonaka et al ( 1997) looked at the relationship between androgyny and successful adaptation across the life span of Japanese adults and found that the tendency toward androgyny was related to high self-esteem and/ or high subjective health in almost all cohorts of both sexes. In a study of aggression, Sawrie et al ( 1991) found androgynes to be the best adjusted in terms of being less aggressive and more assertive. Androgynous coping strategies were associated with greater positive well-being than were instrumental strategies (Stake, 1997).…”
