“…The limited evidence might partly be due to the methodological difficulties in revealing clinical expressions of narcissism effectively, reflecting experts’ disagreement about the construct [16, 17]. In this context, the distinction between vulnerable and grandiose narcissistic traits has been promising and is widely accepted [11, 18-23].…”

Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism in Borderline Personality Disorder

Background: Little is known about narcissistic traits in borderline personality disorder (BPD). This exploratory study aimed to illustrate the associations between total, grandiose, and vulnerable narcissism and gender, diagnostic features of BPD and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and psychopathology in BPD patients. Sampling and Methods: The Pathological Narcissism Inventory and psychometric measures for impulsivity, anger, borderline symptom severity, personality organization, depression, and rejection sensitivity were completed by 65 BPD patients. Statistical analyses were conducted using the t test, Pearson correlation, and multivariate regression analyses. Results: Male BPD patients displayed higher narcissistic scores than females (p < 0.01). Grandiose narcissism showed a stronger association with NPD than with BPD (p < 0.01) while vulnerable narcissism was only associated with BPD (p < 0.01). Rejection sensitivity (p < 0.01) and depression (p < 0.001) predicted vulnerable narcissism. Conclusion: Vulnerable narcissism is closely associated with BPD and appears to be more dysfunctional than grandiose narcissism. A comprehensive consideration of both traits is recommended. Our results might help to generate hypotheses for further research on pathological narcissism in the spectrum of personality disorders. Future studies are advised to apply complementary measures and take new diagnostic approaches of DSM-5 and ICD-11 into account.

“…Therefore, research on destructive leadership has more often turned to narcissism as a likely precursor of destructive leadership (Hogan & Hogan, ; Hogan et al ., ; S.A. Rosenthal & Pittinsky, ). Personality disorders are probably not distinct categories but are more likely to consist of traits more or less present in everyone and normally distributed, and the severity qualifying for a disorder is a matter of cut‐off points (Emmons, ; Widiger & Trull, ; Blais & Little, ). It is likely that narcissistic traits are over‐represented in candidates for executive positions and also that the implied gratifications and frustrations of narcissistic needs may bring such traits to the fore, lowering the threshold to act on them (Kohut, ; Kernberg, ; Masterson, ).…”

Heroic Leaders as White‐Collar Criminals: An Empirical Study

In an empirical study of 179 white‐collar criminals, we identify a subset of 28 who may be called having a ‘heroic’ status, having received official recognition for contributions to society and fame prior to their being exposed and convicted as white‐collar criminals. We argue that these people are close to the classical picture of the white‐collar criminal, which implies that they are more likely not to be suspected of crimes. They are older, richer, and more powerful than the regular criminals. They also commit crimes assuming the roles of leaders in the crime. Most importantly, it seems as if the combination of heroic status and executive positions induces people to commit large‐scale opportunistic crimes late in their lives. The apparent onset of criminal behaviour late in life may be triggered by latent narcissistic traits. Our study contributes to a differentiated view on the profile of white‐collar criminals and derailed leadership. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The pathological form of narcissism is usually studied within the context of psychodynamic theories, while the normal form is studied more through empirical methods (Blais & Little, 2010). Pathological narcissism has been insufficiently studied due to different reasons, the lack of psychometrically sound measures being foremost (Schoenleber, Roche, Wetzel, Pincus, & Roberts, 2015).…”

“…Pathological narcissism has been insufficiently studied due to different reasons, the lack of psychometrically sound measures being foremost (Schoenleber, Roche, Wetzel, Pincus, & Roberts, 2015). Scientific study of narcissism is seen as "fragmented and under-pursued" (Blais & Little, 2010). Miller and Campbell (2010) asserted that the scientific understanding of pathological narcissism is predominantly speculative and lacks empirical support.…”
