“…Cozma et al () in their review on former cross‐cultural studies of the NPI did not find any paper reporting higher than configural invariance for the scale. More recently, Meisel et al () also did not establish configural invariance for NPI‐40 in US and Chinese samples.…”

“…Despite increasing interest in the cross‐cultural studies on narcissism, there are few studies examining the measurement invariance of the NPI (see Cozma et al, for a review). Measurement invariance is crucial in cross‐cultural studies, as it allows for the assessment of the extent to which any cross‐cultural comparisons are justified.…”

“…More recently, Meisel et al () also did not establish configural invariance for NPI‐40 in US and Chinese samples. However, it is worth noting that both Cozma et al () and Meisel et al () used the maximum likelihood estimation method and therefore tried to assess metric invariance, which is inappropriate for the data gathered by NPI. Although Cozma et al () reported metric invariance for the NPI‐16 scale (Ames et al, ), they were able to do so due to correlating multiple error variances in the model, while initially the fit indices of the measurement model were suggesting poor fit to the data (which suggests no configural invariance at all).…”

“…However, numerous researchers report problems with measurement invariance of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; e.g. Cozma et al, ; Meisel et al, ). In the current paper, we examine to what extent cross‐cultural comparisons are justified based on scoring of the abbreviated version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (the NPI‐13; Gentile et al, ) in three countries: Japan, Poland, and the UK.…”

Cross‐cultural invariance of NPI‐13: Entitlement as culturally specific, leadership and grandiosity as culturally universal

The current study explores the problem with the lack of measurement invariance for the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) by addressing two issues: conceptual heterogeneity of narcissism and methodological issues related to the binary character of data. We examine the measurement invariance of the 13-item version of the NPI in three populations in Japan, Poland and the UK. Analyses revealed that leadership/authority and grandiose exhibitionism dimensions of the NPI were cross-culturally invariant, while entitlement/exploitativeness was culturally specific. Therefore, we proposed NPI-9 as indicating scalar invariance, and we examined the pattern of correlations between NPI-9 and other variables across three countries. The results suggest that NPI-9 is valid brief scale measuring general levels of narcissism in cross-cultural studies, while the NPI-13 remains suitable for research within specific countries.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) cause bladder hyperactivity and pelvic pain, but the underlying causes of these symptoms remain unknown. We investigated whether afferent sensitization contributes to the bladder overactivity and pain observed in mice suffering from experimentally induced bacterial cystitis. Inoculation of mouse bladders with the uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain UTI89 caused pelvic allodynia, increased voiding frequency, and prompted an acute inflammatory process marked by leukocytic infiltration and edema of the mucosa. Compared to controls, isolated bladder sensory neurons from UTI-treated mice exhibited a depolarized resting membrane potential, lower action potential threshold and rheobase, and increased firing in response to suprathreshold stimulation. To determine whether bacterial virulence factors can contribute to the sensitization of bladder afferents, neurons isolated from naïve mice were incubated with supernatants collected from bacterial cultures with or depleted of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Supernatants containing LPS prompted the sensitization of bladder sensory neurons with both TTX-R and TTX-S action potentials. However, bladder sensory neurons with TTX-S action potentials were not affected by bacterial supernatants depleted of LPS. Unexpectedly, ultrapure LPS increased the excitability only of bladder sensory neurons with TTX-R action potentials, but the supplementation of supernatants depleted of LPS with ultrapure LPS resulted in the sensitization of both population of bladder sensory neurons. In summary, our studies indicate that multiple virulence factors released from UTI89 act on bladder sensory neurons to prompt their sensitization. These sensitized bladder sensory neurons mediate, at least in part, the bladder hyperactivity and pelvic pain seen in mice inoculated with UTI89.

Drawing on a survey of 326 undergraduate female students of Mass Communication from Cairo University, this study examined the relationship between the «Big Five» traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness), Narcissism and Self-esteem, and posting selfies on social media (Facebook and Instagram). The study also investigated the effects of activity level in using these two platforms, motivations of taking selfies in addition to educational variables (education year, education type in high school). The results shed light on the significant effect of active social media usage, extroversion and the type of education on posting selfies. The implications of the findings are discussed.
