“…Our results confirmed previous studies showing moderate correlations between NG and NV scores among non-clinical samples (range: 0.50-0.66; Thomas et al, 2012; You et al, 2013; Fossati et al, 2014; Jaksic et al, 2014). The moderate correlation between the two narcissistic dimensions has led some authors to doubt about the possibility to measure separately NG and NV (Miller et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, some authors raised doubts about the possibility to distinguish clearly between them (Miller et al, 2014). Despite this, several studies found that such scales show different patterns of external correlates (Fossati et al, 2014; Jaksic et al, 2014; Krusemark et al, 2015). In line with these findings, NG and NV showed different patterns of association with self-esteem in non-clinical samples (Pincus et al, 2009; Maxwell et al, 2011; Roche et al, 2013).…”

“…As stated by Roche et al (2013), “an individual might have a constellation of normal and pathological regulatory mechanisms, employed at different times to cope with disappointments and threats to self-concept” (p. 237). Many studies showed that NG and NV moderately correlate (Wright et al, 2010; Fossati et al, 2014; Jaksic et al, 2014; Krusemark et al, 2015). Therefore, some authors raised doubts about the possibility to distinguish clearly between them (Miller et al, 2014).…”

Narcissistic Traits and Explicit Self-Esteem: The Moderating Role of Implicit Self-View

2016

Objective: Whilst the relationship between narcissism and self-esteem has been studied for a long time, findings are still controversial. The majority of studies investigated narcissistic grandiosity (NG), neglecting the existence of vulnerable manifestations of narcissism. Moreover, recent studies have shown that grandiosity traits are not always associated with inflated explicit self-esteem. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between narcissistic traits and explicit self-esteem, distinguishing between grandiosity and vulnerability. Moreover, we consider the role of implicit self-esteem in qualifying these associations.Method: Narcissistic traits, explicit and implicit self-esteem measures were assessed among 120 university students (55.8% women, Mage = 22.55, SD = 3.03).Results: Results showed different patterns of association between narcissistic traits and explicit self-esteem, depending on phenotypic manifestations of narcissism. Narcissistic vulnerability (NV) was linked to low explicit self-evaluations regardless of one’s levels of implicit self-esteem. On the other hand, the link between NG and explicit self-esteem was qualified by levels of implicit self-views, such that grandiosity was significantly associated with inflated explicit self-evaluations only at either high or medium levels of implicit self-views.Discussion: These findings showed that the relationship between narcissistic traits and explicit self-esteem is not univocal, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between NG and NV. Finally, the study suggested that both researchers and clinicians should consider the relevant role of implicit self-views in conditioning self-esteem levels reported explicitly by individuals with grandiose narcissistic traits.

This paper reports the results of a multi-stage effort to develop a measure of Academic Entitlement. An empirical/rational approach was taken to develop items and reduce the item set for a final version of the Academic Entitlement Scale (AES). The measure includes seven dimensions: Accommodation, Reward for Effort, Responsibility Avoidance, Grade Haggling, Customer Orientation, Customer Service Expectations, and General Academic Entitlement. Fit, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, for the seven-factor correlated model and a bifactor model including General AE and the six specific factors, was good. The full measure is reported along with descriptive statistics for the scale and preliminary validation evidence.

Pathological Narcissism and Depressive Symptoms in Psychiatric Outpatients: Mediating Role of Dysfunctional Attitudes

et al. 2013

Among adult psychiatric outpatients, narcissistic vulnerability is more strongly related to depressive symptoms than narcissistic grandiosity, and dysfunctional perfectionism represents one of the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders diagnostic criteria and the treatment of pathological narcissism.
