Exhibiting Characteristics of Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism: A Multimethod Approach.

This study explored how well specific socio-cognitive processes (i.e., interpersonal
problems, empathy, hostile attributional biases, envy/jealousy) predicted the manifestations of
both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. Additionally, we explored the impact of both forms of
narcissism on the presence of maladaptive social behaviors (i.e., the perpetration of
psychological abuse). We found that domineering interpersonal behaviors and a propensity to
fantasize predicted significant unique variance in grandiose narcissism; envy of others, hostile
attributional biases, and a propensity to fantasize predicted significant unique variance in
vulnerable narcissism. Additionally, while domineering interpersonal behaviors and hostile
attributional biases predicted significant variance in psychological abuse perpetration, only
vulnerable narcissism added significant unique variance to its regression model. Lastly, only
domineering interpersonal behaviors, envy of others, and hostile attributional biases predicted
significant unique variance in psychological abuse victimization; narcissism was nonsignificant.
The results of our study will contribute to an increased understanding of the nature of both
grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and the impacts these personality styles have on an
individual's ability to function effectively in interpersonal relationships.
