“…Furthermore, results highlight significant gender differences, confirming that externalizing behaviors constitute a problematic aspect especially for males. In fact, in accordance with the existing literature, we found that males reported higher levels of sensation seeking [52][53][54], of externalizing problems [55][56][57], and of gambling [3,10,21,[58][59][60] than females.…”

Gambling is a widespread phenomenon during adolescence. Among different risk factors involved in the onset of adolescent gambling behaviors, one factor that is studied is the sensation seeking personality trait. However, the literature is heterogeneous and a direct relationship between sensation seeking and gaming behaviors has not always been highlighted. This suggests that the relationship can be influenced by other factors. In particular, we explored the moderating role of externalizing problems in this relationship. A total of 363 adolescents (232 males and 131 females) aged 14 to 20 (M = 16.35, SD = 1.36) completed a battery of questionnaires aimed to assess their gambling behaviors, as well as the levels of externalizing problems and sensation seeking. The results showed that sensation seeking was associated with gambling severity, but this relationship was significant when externalizing problems were high and medium. On the contrary, when externalizing problems were low, the relationship between sensation seeking and gambling severity was not significant. Overall, sensation seeking in adolescence can favor the implementation of risk behaviors, such as gambling, but only in association with the presence of externalizing problems. Limitations, strengths, and social and clinical implications of the present study are discussed.

“…Lack of perseverance was stronger related to avoidance, whereas risk appetite was stronger related to approach. From a theoretical point, the major difference between Mach and psychopathy among the facets of impulsivity should be differential self-control and planning abilities (Kiire et al, 2020). Hence, the differential correlations of Machiavellian approach and avoidance with lack of perseverance supported our expectations and the difference became even more salient when we corrected for low reliability (see R script on OSF).…”

The antagonistic personality trait Machiavellianism (Mach) should be characterized by duplicity, proclivity to manipulation, cynical disregard of others, long-term planning, and low aggression. Opposed to theoretical descriptions, recent studies revealed links between Mach and neuroticism, impulsivity, and aggression. The advantages of a multidimensional assessment of Mach are well known but were seldom implemented. Hence, differential effects within Mach have often been neglected. Based on previous research on basic motivational orientations, we derived two facets-Machiavellian approach and Machiavellian avoidance.These facets account for exploitative, strategic striving for resources and for misanthropic, distrustful loss-prevention, respectively. In two studies (total N = 1,000, 21% men), we found support for the two-factor structure, for measurement invariance across sexes, and the nomological network of the 8-item Machiavellian Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire (MaaQ). As expected, Machiavellian approach was primarily associated with hope for power, whereas Machiavellian avoidance was linked to affective criteria and aggression. Both approach and avoidance shared links with disagreeableness, dishonesty, and cynicism. Furthermore, they correlated with other Mach scales. The findings explain counterintuitive links with other constructs found in earlier studies and thereby further the understanding of Mach.

“…Grandiose narcissism is characterised by extraverted and assertive behaviour, overt expressions of superiority and need of attention, while vulnerable narcissists are more likely to be seen as distant and self-restrained: they are generally introverted and usually described by others as shy [6,7]. Based on empirical ndings, grandiose narcissism is associated with psychopathy [8, 9, 10,], sensation seeking [11,12] and cognitive distortions in thinking and reasoning [13,14], while vulnerable narcissism is connected to neuroticism, anxiety and depression [15,16], secondary psychopathy [17,18] and to maladaptive cognitions and emotions as shame [19,20]. Although several -mostly clinical -aspects of narcissism are well described, the cognitive features of this phenomenon and its subtypes are still not fully explored and organized.…”

Currently narcissism is considered one of the most widespread modern "diseases". As a consequence, its different types (grandiose and vulnerable narcissism) have been approached from several different perspectives. The present research attempts to investigate the differences between the two types of narcissism and their links with different cognitive components that are connected to these personality traits. The primary aim of our study is to investigate the maladaptive schemas (entitlement, vulnerability, emotional deprivation) and cognitive evaluation systems (self-esteem, systemizing-empathizing) associated with narcissism. In order to ensure the associations of the observed constructs, we used correlational and a specific form of structural equation modelling (SEM), pathway analysis.The results show that the early maladaptive schemas have a large impact on the development of narcissism and on the empathizing system. The different subtypes of narcissism have different effects on self-esteem, while gender and age have a minor effect on self-esteem and the empathizing system too. Hopefully, these empirical results can be applied in counselling as well as in clinical practice.
