“…Generally, women are more interpersonally sensitive than their counterparts. Therefore, in the presence of highly narcissistic female supervisors, female subordinates are more likely to exhibit counterproductive work behaviour (Blinkhorn et al, 2018). These views further strengthen the assumption that narcissistic behaviour of females triggers counterproductive work behaviour.…”

“…Individuals with a non-managerial position at the organisational level demonstrated overt and covert narcissism. In another study, Blinkhorn et al (2018) examined the violent offending behaviour of both male and female participants and found that narcissistic female participants demonstrated higher propensity to engage with such behaviour. With regard to the narcissism of nursing supervisors, the junior nurses were hypothesised to experience frustration or pain caused by self-admiration or intent to become leaders themselves, resulting in counterproductive work behaviour.…”

This study aimed to examine how ostracism and narcissistic nursing supervisors affect the counterproductive work behaviour of junior nurses, with political skills as a moderator, in a country-specific context. This study achieved its objectives by reviewing the literature on ostracism, narcissism, counterproductive work behaviour, and political skills as well as the outcomes of relevant previous studies. The social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory were drawn upon to explain the relationships under study. An adapted questionnaire was used to gather responses using a5-point Likert scale. The obtained data were analysed using Smart-PLS 3. Ostracism and narcissistic nursing supervisors were found to contribute to the counterproductive work behaviour of nurses. The moderating roles of political skills on the proposed relationships were also assessed. Based on asample of junior nurses, the obtained results appeared to support the hypothesised relationships. Conclusively, when nurses encounter ostracism and narcissistic nursing supervisors, they are more likely to react with counterproductive work behaviour with alow level of political skills, and vice versa. The use of external self-reporting measure for narcissism produced more concise results.

“…The findings from previous studies on the personality characteristics of IPV offenders show the presence of narcissistic personality traits or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in men and women (Beasley and Stoltenberg, 1992; Blinkhorn et al , 2018; Henning et al , 2003; Simmons et al , 2005). People with NPD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) show an exaggerated sense of self-importance, excessive need for recognition by others and a lack of empathy for other people (Miller et al , 2007).…”

Purpose Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a widespread social and public health problem. Researchers have been shown association between IPV and mental health problems. The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the literature on relationship between wide ranges of mental health problems. Design/methodology/approach Research papers related to mental health problems among IPV perpetrators and published in leading academic journals in UK and abroad from 1987 to 2017 were identified and reviewed. Findings Although there were some equivocal findings, the authors found that most of the available research suggests that there is a variety of psychological health problems among IPV perpetrators. Specifically, there was evidence of a significant relationship between anger problems, anxiety, depression, suicidal behaviour, personality disorders, alcoholism or problem gambling and perpetration of IPV. Results from analysed studies identified high rates of co-morbid disorders in IPV perpetrators. Practical implications The findings highlight the need for treatment services to undertake screening and assessment of wide range of psychological difficulties to be able to provide best treatment approaches. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review that has included studies evaluating various psychological health problems among perpetrators of IPV.

“…Despite the significant distress and pain narcissistic individuals cause to those close others, little is known about narcissism in female perpetrators. The overrepresentation of males as offenders is common in the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) literature whereby narcissism has often been associated with men's perpetration of IPV (Gormley & Lopez, 2010), despite research demonstrating that female offenders of IPV exhibit significantly higher clinically elevated narcissistic traits when compared to male offenders (Simmons et al, 2005), as well as being more likely to have committed acts of general violence, including IPV, during their lifespan than narcissistic men (Blinkhorn et al, 2019). In a sample of female prison inmates, Warren et al (2002) also found NPD to be a predictor of current incarceration for violent crime including murder.…”

“…A longstanding overrepresentation of males in the narcissism literature has led to the widely held belief that males are more narcissistic than females. The prevalence for NPD suggests that males are up to 75% more likely to be diagnosed with this disorder than females (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), and research demonstrate marked gender differences on trait narcissism consistently occurring more prevalently in males (Blinkhorn et al, 2019;Corry et al, 2008;Foster et al, 2003;Grijalva et al, 2015;Miller & Campbell, 2008;Perry & Perry, 2004;Zeigler-Hill et al, 2008;Zerach, 2016). These findings are not surprising as these apparent gender disparities are based on the grandiosity element of narcissism (NPI/DSM) which closely resembles stereotypically masculine features, including physical expressions of aggression, an excessive need for power and an authoritarian character (Barnett & Sharp, 2017).…”

Female Narcissism: Assessment, Aetiology, and Behavioural Manifestations

Despite putative gender differences in the expression of narcissism, prominent theories have virtually dismissed the role of females in the development and manifestation of narcissism. The contention that narcissism is a pathology of the self that may partly differ in males and females is further evident in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The DSM-5 reports that up to 75% of those diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are men. Such figures suggest that the representation of narcissism as codified in the DSM-5 may only be marginally applicable to females, given its prominent focus and nature on capturing grandiose themes which closely resemble commonly masculine norms. The overemphasis on grandiose features extends to the empirical literature which defines narcissism as a normative personality trait and is widely assessed using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), on which males obtain significantly higher scores than females. As this review will demonstrate, one limitation frequently occurring in the literature is the attempt to comprehend narcissistic manifestations in females through the lens of what has commonly been defined as narcissism (DSM/NPI). In this review, the literature concerning the diagnostic assessment and conceptualization of narcissistic personality disorder, etiological factors, aggression, and partner violence perpetration will be discussed in relation to the importance of gender. This is followed by a review of existing gaps in theory and research, and suggestions for fruitful directions that can aid a richer and more meaningful literature on narcissism inclusive of gender issues.
