The present study (N = 287) investigated these questions using the Ultimatum Game, a behavioral decision-making task involving the presentation of advantageous and disadvantageous financial offers. The results of multilevel modeling revealed that individual differences in narcissism modulated responders' game decisions: Individuals high in narcissism, particularly narcissistic rivalry, were more likely to accept monetary offers and this effect was even more pronounced for comparatively unfair offers. Results extend previous findings, suggesting that narcissists are hypersensitive to rewards and pay close attention how to maximize their personal profit rather than to enforce fairness norms.}, 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{FatfoutaSchroederAbe2018, author = {Fatfouta, Ramzi and Schr{\"o}der-Abe, Michela}, title = {Agentic to the core?}, series = {Journal of research in personality}, volume = {74}, journal = {Journal of research in personality}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0092-6566}, doi = {10.1016/j.jrp.2018.02.006}, pages = {78 -- 82}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Researchers are still divided over whether narcissists possess positive or negative implicit self-views. 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{KwiatkowskaJulkowskiRogozaetal.2018, author = {Kwiatkowska, Maria Magdalena and Julkowski, Tomasz and Rogoza, Radoslaw and Zemojtel-Piotrowska, Magdalena and Fatfouta, Ramzi}, title = {Narcissism and trust}, series = {Personality and individual differences : an international journal of research into the structure and development of personality, and the causation of individual differences}, volume = {137}, 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.2018.08.027}, pages = {139 -- 143}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Previous research has shown that individuals high in narcissism mistrust others, yet little is known about narcissism's relation to trust. In the current study (N = 727), we aim to close this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between facets of trust (i.e., cognitive bias in the evaluation of others and personal trustworthiness) and facets of grandiose narcissism (i.e., agentic, antagonistic, and communal). We strive to answer the question whether narcissistic individuals believe that others are reliable, honest, and benevolent (how they perceive others) and whether they present themselves as trusting of others (how they perceive themselves). We posit and show that agentic narcissism is not related to any of the studied trust facets, suggesting that the concept of trust is not relevant to their self-image. In contrast, antagonistic narcissism is negatively related to perceiving others and oneself as trustful, and communal narcissism is positively related to these trust facets, purportedly due to communal self-enhancement. We discuss our findings of the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept as well as to the Agency-Communion model of grandiose narcissism.}, language = {en} } @article{SchroederAbeFatfouta2018, author = {Schr{\"o}der-Abe, Michela and Fatfouta, Ramzi}, title = {Shades of narcissistic dishonesty}, series = {Journal of economic psychology : research in economic psychology and behavioral economics}, volume = {71}, journal = {Journal of economic psychology : research in economic psychology and behavioral economics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-4870}, doi = {10.1016/j.joep.2018.06.003}, pages = {148 -- 158}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Honesty is crucial to navigate the social realm, yet certain individuals - those high in narcissism - tend to engage in dishonesty.

Using behavioral indicators of dishonesty, namely, actual cheating in a math task (Study 1) and a coin-tossing task (Study 2), we consistently found that the relationship between grandiose narcissism and cheating was positively mediated by guilt, indicating that grandiose narcissists engaged in more dishonest behavior due to a lack of guilt. Furthermore, the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and cheating was negatively mediated by shame, but only when task success depended on performance (Study 1) rather than luck (Study 2). Results underscore the importance of differentiating between distinct facets of narcissism and highlight the role of self-conscious emotions in the narcissism-dishonesty link.}, language = {en} }
