Narcissistic admiration and rivalry in the context of personality metatraits

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

“…The results reported in the current study provide an opportunity to rethink the structure of narcissism on the basis of the theoretical foundations laid by the NSM (Krizan & Herlache, 2018) and elaborated on by the CPM . Reports from previous research on grandiose narcissism (Kowalski, Vernon, & Schermer, 2016;Miller, Lynam, Hyatt, & Campbell, 2017;Rogoza, Żemojtel-Piotrowska, et al, 2016) and vulnerable narcissism (Miller, Lynam, Vize, et al, 2017; have been generally supported by our results.…”

“…Moreover, the NSM (Krizan & Herlache, ) can be interpreted in terms of its relations with the basic personality traits. Indeed, decades of empirical research on narcissism have led to three conclusions: (i) the core trait of narcissism (representing self‐importance) is low agreeableness (Back et al, ; Muris, Merckelbach, Otgaar, & Meijer, ; Miller & Maples, ; Paulhus, ; Rogoza, Żemojtel‐Piotrowska, Rogoza, Piotrowski, & Wyszyńska, ; Rogoza, 2018); (ii) the distinctive trait of vulnerability but not grandiosity is neuroticism (i.e. it is positively related to the former and not related to the latter; Hendin & Cheek, ; Jauk, Weigle, Lehmann, Benedek, & Neubauer, ; Miller, Lynam, Hyatt, & Campbell, ; Miller, Lynam, Vize, et al, ); and (iii) the farther the NSM narcissisms move away from the core towards grandiosity or vulnerability, the greater the role of extraversion (high in grandiosity and low in vulnerability; Campbell & Miller, ; Hendin & Cheek, ; Houlcroft, Bore, & Munro, ; Miller et al, ; Miller, Lynam, Hyatt, & Campbell, ; Rogoza et al, ).…”

Dark Triad traits and their structure: An empirical approach

“…Such a description is closely related to Paulhus's (1998) description of the narcissistic individual within a group as someone who is initially perceived as agreeable, competent, and well-adjusted, but within only a few weeks is judged in the opposite manner. Such results are also found in more recent studies suggesting that narcissists make good first impressions, especially at the moment of zero acquaintance, but after time passes and their flaws become more salient and their true dark nature repels other people (Back et al 2010;Leckelt et al 2015;Rogoza et al 2016b). The second tone of darkness represents pure antagonism; in other words, a complete lack of respect towards social norms, morality, tradition, and other people in general.…”

“…In terms of the relation of narcissism and the Dark Dyad to the personality metatraits and higher order values, it turned out that their motivation is similar; however, its realization proceeds via different means: plastic in narcissism and unstable in the Dark Dyad. Similarly to the relation with basic traits, narcissists were described as presenting not only plastic behaviors but unstable ones as well (Rogoza et al 2016b), which we believe also resulted from too few items measuring the antagonistic aspects of narcissism.…”

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).…”
