Differentiation of the two narcissistic faces in their relations to personality traits and basic values

Longitudinal Associations of Narcissism with Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Institutional Outcomes: An Investigation Using a Representative Sample of the German Population

“…Residualized narcissistic rivalry (i.e., the tendency to engage in antagonistic narcissistic self-defense), in contrast, was most strongly negatively associated with intrapersonal adjustment (e.g., general dissatisfaction, increased negative affect, and decreased happiness and self-esteem) and success in the institutional domain (e.g., lower job prestige, communal involvement, satisfaction with work and income). These results align well with previous research showing that people higher in agentic aspects of narcissism are focused on getting ahead and strive for positions of power (Campbell & Campbell, 2009;Rogoza et al, 2016;Rosenthal & Pittinsky, 2006) as well as findings that indicate that agentic aspects of narcissism are generally related to higher self-esteem (Geukes et al, 2017;Miller, Lynam, Hyatt, & Campbell, 2017;Wetzel, Leckelt, Gerlach, & Back, 2016), positive affect (Rhodewalt, Madrian, & Cheney, 1998), and negatively to depression (Sedikides et al, 2004;Watson & Biderman, 1993). Similarly, antagonistic aspects of grandiose narcissism have previously been found to predict counter-productive work behaviors as well as different forms of dissatisfaction (Foster, 2008;Rose, 2002), and lower self-esteem level and higher self-esteem fragility (Geukes et al, 2017;Zeigler-Hill & Besser, 2013).…”

“…In line with the fact that narcissism is associated with a certain social potency and that narcissistic individuals strive for status and power (Campbell & Campbell, 2009;Rogoza, Wyszyńska, Maćkiewicz, & Cieciuch, 2016), narcissism has been shown to be associated with high-ranking jobs such managers (Ahmetoglu et al, 2016;Board & Fritzon, 2005) and wealth . Likewise, narcissism is associated with leadership positions, leadership emergence (Brunell et al, 2008;, and visionary boldness, a charisma component related to being seen as inspiring and exciting (Galvin, Waldman, & Balthazard, 2010).…”

“…Both, admiration and rivalry, can be connected to fundamental models of personality, such as the Big Five and the Interpersonal Circumplex (ICP; Wiggins, 1979). For example, prior research has shown that admiration is uniquely related to extraversion (r = .31 in Back et al, 2013) and rivalry is uniquely related to (dis-)agreeableness (r = -.42 in Back et al, 2013; see also Rogoza et al, 2016). Thus, these facets seem to capture the "disagreeable-extravert" nature of grandiose narcissism (Paulhus, 2001).…”

Narcissism and the pursuit of status

“…Taken together, these results were quite similar to those observed when narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry were included as predictors in the same models. 6 Narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry have been shown to have strong associations with basic personality dimensions (e.g., extraversion, agreeableness; Back et al, 2013;Rogoza, Wyszy nska, Maćkiewicz, & Cieciuch, 2016;Rogoza, _ Zemojtel-Piotrowska, Rogoza, Piotrowski, & Wyszy nska, 2016). We conducted additional multilevel analyses for Study 3 that controlled for the basic personality dimensions that are included in the HEXACO model of personality (Ashton & Lee, 2009).…”

Seeking a Common Framework for Research on Narcissism: An Attempt to Integrate the Different Faces of Narcissism within the Circumplex of Personality Metatraits

“…Another advantage of the NSM is that it can incorporate other theoretical models of narcissism, such as the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept (NARC; Back et al, 2013). The NARC has demonstrated its utility in differentiating the role of admiration (which corresponds to the NSM grandiosity dimension) and rivalry (which corresponds to the NSM self-importance dimension) in explaining envy, forgiveness, self-esteem, and values, for example (Back, 2018;Fatfouta, Zeigler-Hill, & Schröder-Abé, 2017;Geukes et al, 2017;Lange, Crusius, & Hagemeyer, 2016;Rogoza, Wyszyńska, Maćkiewicz, & Cieciuch, 2016). The selfimportance dimension reflects egotism, a sense of entitlement, and the belief that one deserves special treatment (Krizan & Herlache, 2018).…”
