Seemingly resolving this issue, Campbell et al. (2007) have demonstrated that narcissism is in fact related to higher implicit self-esteem as long as the implicit measure reflects agency. The present study used a large (N = 730) sample, carefully controlled stimuli, improved statistical analyses, and examined narcissism at the facet-level, but results did not replicate those of Campbell et al. In fact, the latent correlation between narcissism and implicit agency was close to zero, whereas the positive correlation between narcissism and explicit agency was replicated. We conclude that narcissists' implicit self-views may be more neutral than positive or may depend on other contextual factors.}, language = {en} } @article{FatfoutaSchroederAbe2018, author = {Fatfouta, Ramzi and Schr{\"o}der-Abe, Michela}, title = {A wolf in sheep's clothing?}, series = {Journal of research in personality}, volume = {76}, journal = {Journal of research in personality}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0092-6566}, doi = {10.1016/j.jrp.2018.07.004}, pages = {17 -- 21}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Communal narcissists possess the unique belief in their capability to bring about freedom to the world, and so see themselves as "saints". To examine if this communal self-view extends to the more automatic component of self-evaluation, that is, a person's implicit self-view, the present study (N = 701) tested the extent to which communal narcissism was associated with explicit communal self-ratings and implicit associations between the self and communal attributes. The latent correlation between communal narcissism and explicit communal self-views was strongly positive, yet no such relationship emerged for implicit communal self-views. These findings support the notion that communal narcissism may represent an effort to gain favorable appraisals from others in the absence of a genuine communal self-view.}, language = {en} } @article{RogozaFatfouta2019, author = {Rogoza, Radoslaw and Fatfouta, Ramzi}, title = {Normal and pathological communal narcissism in relation to personality traits and values}, series = {Personality and individual differences : an international journal of research into the structure and development of personality, and the causation of individual differences}, volume = {140}, journal = {Personality and individual differences : an international journal of research into the structure and development of personality, and the causation of individual differences}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0191-8869}, doi = {10.1016/j.paid.2018.03.039}, pages = {76 -- 81}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Communal narcissism can be defined as grandiose self-views in the communal domain. Within the literature, two forms of communal narcissism, normal and pathological, can be distinguished. However, no study to date has investigated their convergence and divergence. Using a large community sample (N = 781), the current study aimed to fill this gap through examination of 1) the distinctiveness of normal and pathological communal narcissism; 2) their relationship to broad personality characteristics; and 3) values. Results suggest that 1) normal and pathological communal narcissism are structurally distinct constructs; 2) the difference in relation to personality characteristics is limited to neuroticism; and 3) they share the values of self-enhancement and self transcendence.}, language = {en} }
