Full textThe present dissertation presents a conceptual framework for the study of narcissism in social interactions (NARCissism In Situations: NARCIS). This framework differentiates between situation-invariant variables (e.g., trait narcissism) and situation-varying variables (e.g., positive feedback) for the prediction of narcissistic behavior. It built the theoretical basis for three studies that were placed along the time line of social interactions (i.e., at the beginning, in the daily intercourse, and within long-term friendships). Study 1 examined whether the manifestation of individual differences in narcissism reduce in situations that include strong cues for the appropriateness of self-promotional behavior, as trait activation theory (Tett & Burnett, 2003) would expect. It was concluded that the grandiose core of narcissism was insensitive to the influence of situation-varying variables in terms of cue strength for self-promotion. Study 2 investigated narcissism within social interactions in everyday life following an experience-sampling design in three consecutive substudies. In contrast to the findings from the first study, results of Study 2 showed that there was a strong situational influence on the expression of state narcissism - regardless of the individual’s narcissism trait level. For example, both negative social feedback and positive feedback increased state narcissism levels due to ego protection or ego boosting mechanisms. The results question the role of trait self-esteem but underscore the importance of state self-esteem on state narcissism. Last but not least, Study 3 demonstrated that with increasing distinctive similarity (i.e., the similarity in the two friends’ norm-deviating parts) in narcissism of two best friends’ their distinctive similarities in their Big Five profiles augmented as well. Implications for situation-specific aspects of narcissism within long-term friendships are discussed.

Full textAbstract
The aim of this present study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between birth order and the personality trait narcissism using 181 individuals from Finnveden High School in Värnamo (115 females, 60 males, mean age 17, sd=0,94), in the context of the proposal of Sulloway (1996) that personality is influenced by the specialized nich-es siblings adopt in the quest for access to parental resources. A questionnaire which in-cludes Narcissistic Personality Inventory test, Birth order test and also Rosenberg’s self-esteem test in order to investigate if it might has an impact on narcissistic personality trait, was used. Results showed that there was no significant relationship between birth order and narcissism, however, a significant relationship between narcissism and self-esteem was found. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between narcissism and the individual’s relationship with the mother. In conclusion, there was no direct rela-tionship between birth order and narcissism. Our hypothesis was falsified and no support for Sulloways theory was found.

Full textO narcisismo é um traço da personalidade que tem vindo a ser estudado ao longo do tempo. Os indivíduos narcisistas têm um maior sentido de direito em conjunto com uma necessidade de reconhecimento e admiração. Dado que se enquadram na imagem de líderes, tendem a ascender frequentemente a posições de topo. Mas será que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm um percurso diferente (quando comparados com os CEOs menos narcisistas? Apesar de vários estudos terem demonstrado que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm um determinado conjunto de características, por exemplo, a sua educação e confiança, até ao presente não há claras evidências de que essas características podem resultar em percursos distintos entre eles. O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o papel do narcisismo na ascensão ao topo. Para isso, os dados foram recolhidos utilizando um questionário online, sendo os CEOs das empresas em regime de sociedades anónimas o público alvo. O percurso dos CEOs mais narcisistas foi estudado com base num grupo de variáveis sociodemográficas como a idade, género, capacidades cognitivas, o primeiro emprego e o emprego no presente. Os resultados mostram que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm percursos distintos na ascensão ao topo, tendo em conta as variáveis sociodemográficas.
Narcissism is a personality trait that has been study for a long time. Narcissistic individuals have a major sense of entitlement along with a need for recognition and self-admiration. Because of their dominance, grandiosity and since they match the image of a prototype leader, they are frequently found in top management positions. But do narcissistic CEOs have distinctive paths on their rise to the top (when compared to non-narcissistic CEOs)? Despite several studies have shown that narcissistic CEOs have a set of characteristics, for example, their education and confidence, that differ from the non-narcissistic CEOs, to date, there is no clear evidence that those characteristics may influence distinctive paths between them. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the role of narcissism in the rise to the top ladder positions. To that end, data was collected using an online questionnaire, targeting CEOs of a sample of Portuguese registered companies. The path of the narcissistic CEO was assessed by studying a group of socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, cognitive ability, first job and current job. The results show that highly narcissistic CEOs have a distinctive path in the rise to the top regarding socio-demographic variables.

Full textMarching over the world, the narcissism epidemic has spread in the workplace as well. Indeed, narcissism is now more present in the workplace than ever before due to the generational increase in narcissism and narcissists’ prevalence in managerial positions. One implication of this trend is that being omnipresent and having power, narcissists are more likely to affect the lives of everybody of us. The research on narcissists in the workplace has generated a plethora of insights as well. However, while the research in management has mostly been focused on the dark side of a narcissistic personality (Back et al., 2013; Küfner et al., 2013; Rogoza et al., 2016; Rogoza et al., 2018), we expect that considering narcissism in the domain on training may contribute to the literature on positive implications of narcissism. In order to address the following gap, in these three chapters, we are pursuing the following goals. First, we will construct and validate an Instagram-based unobtrusive measure of narcissism that can provide researchers with access to a broad audience and can help them to reach such groups as young adults or celebrities (Ch. 1). Second, we will empirically test the effect of trainers’ and trainees’ narcissism on training performance and training results and outline the mechanisms behind these relationships (Ch. 2). Finally, we will theorize how a narcissistic leader will affect the individual performance of his/her followers and why narcissism can have positive implications for an organization (Ch. 3). We suggest that these three chapters may have the following contribution to the research. Ch. 1, “Photos tell your story: Constructing and validating Instagram-based unobtrusive indicators of narcissism.” First, we constructed and validated the two Instagram-based unobtrusive indicators of narcissism that can be used in future research. Second, we ran numerous studies in order to establish the validity and reliability of our unobtrusive measures; these measures should also have relatively high generalizability as can be applied towards each individual having an Instagram account but at the same time, may push forward the research on the narcissism of bloggers, celebrities, and other individual prominent on Instagram. Finally, these measures can allow researchers to have relatively big samples as only 100 random photos are required. Ch. 2, “Too good to train”. Narcissism and Performance on the Training: Empirical Evidence from “The Biggest Loser” International.” First, we found empirical support for the positive effect of the trainer’s level of narcissism on training performance and results, thus contributing to the literature on the positive implications of narcissism. Second, we found empirical support for the negative relationship between a trainee’s level of narcissism and training results. Finally, we outlined the mechanism that may underlie the relationship between trainers’ and trainee’s narcissism and training outcomes. Ch. 3, “Narcissistic Leaders and Individual Performance of Their Followers: The Conceptual Model”. First, we argued that a leader’s narcissism positively affects the individual performance of followers in the short term, and negatively affects the individual performance of followers in the long term. We constructed a simple conceptual model that can be further empirically tested in future research. Moreover, we suggest that the proposed positive effect can extend the few literature on the positive implications of narcissism. Second, we outlined the possible mechanism for the proposed relationship and considered the narcissistic leader-follower relationship into role models’ theoretical framework.

Full textThis theoretical dissertation uses a hermeneutic methodology to weave together three strands--ecopsychology, narcissism, and death denial--to explore ecological narcissism, defined as the tendency of humans in technologically advanced cultures to be so self-absorbed as to be unable to see anything in nature except objects that might satisfy their own needs. The study responds to 3 research questions: How is ecological narcissism related to the denial of death? Does ecological narcissism, with its denial of death, play a role in our destruction of the environment? And, how might we mitigate ecological narcissism and renew a more life-sustaining attitude towards death? It posits that beneath the confident, manic façade of modern cultures lurks fear of death masquerading as death denial. Ecological narcissism co-arises with this fear as the offspring of human belief in separation from nature. The study examines the theories developed by Berman, Hillman, and Shepard to account for how humanity has come to feel separate from nature. It proposes that ecological narcissism and death denial support us in perceiving nonhuman created environments as a collection of objects devoid of the sentience and subjectivity credited to humans. Such a perceptual orientation is interested in the answer to only one question: Do these objects (which might include elephants, oaks, and oceans) help further human life? If so, we feel free to use them, and if not, we feel free to destroy them. A final conclusion of this study is that one way in which humans might move towards a more life-sustaining attitude towards nature and death is through an increase in direct experience of wilderness "out there" and "in here" (within one's psyche). Practitioners of depth psychotherapy therefore have an opportunity to support a welcoming attitude towards wild forces within and beyond us, which in turn may support a cultural transition from the prevailing attitude of narcissistic entitlement to a maturity recognizing human relationship with all nature.

Full textSport participation is important for many adolescents and young adults, as they explore their identity and personality expression. In response to controversy over the “dumb jock” stereotype, and research exploring differing athletic identities, this investigation examined the personality differences between self-identifying “Athletes” and “Jocks.” Much research on student athletes examines the benefits and risks associated with sports participation, with no criteria to identify which athletes may be more at risk. The disparity in the research on the benefits and risks associated with sports participation may be mediated by identity and personality. Previous research suggests that a group identified as “Jocks” display behaviors indicative of narcissistic and antisocial personality, but does not examine personality directly. In this study, narcissistic traits were assessed using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13. Participants included in the study met the following criteria: age 18-24, played at least one year of high school sports, and currently play on a high contact sports team at Division I or II undergraduate universities in the U.S. Data was collected via online survey. Findings indicate that self-identified “Jocks” endorse higher levels of narcissism overall, as well as higher levels of three narcissistic trait facets. This lends evidence to the idea that there may be a construct to help explain some of the negative behavior associated with athletics. Finally, this study may benefit individuals who work with student athletes by helping to identify youth who may be at higher risk for problem behaviors and/or mental health concerns, particularly those who begin to display traits at an early age.

Full textMänniskor har ett grundläggande behov av samhörighet och att ingå i en social kontext. På så sätt skapas ett beroende av andras acceptans för att kunna upprätthålla hälsa och välmående. Social exkludering utgör därför ett hot mot mänskligt välbefinnande. I denna studie undersöks hur exkludering och grad av narcissism påverkar tre typer av individers självreglerande beteende; Aggressivitet, risktagande och prosocialitet. Sextio studenter med hög eller låg grad av narcissism tänkte tillbaka på när de blivit inkluderade eller exkluderade. Resultatet visade att deltagare med en hög grad av narcissism i personligheten agerade mer aggressivt och tenderade att agera mer riskbenäget när de exkluderats. Prosocialitet påverkades inte av exkluderingsmanipulationen, inte heller den situationella självkänslan och humör. Resultatet indikerar att grad av narcissism i personligheten är en viktig faktor för konsekvenser av social exkludering.

One part of the NEO-FFI was used to estimate the level of extraversion. Parts of the NPI were used to estimate the level of narcissism. A new test was constructed for Facebook usage. ANCOVA and correlational tests were used. There was a significant correlation between extraversion and high level of Facebook usage. Extrovert individuals had more friends and photos, and used the functions for chat and events more frequently. Narcissistic individuals estimated their profile picture as more attractive.
