variance on my measure of psychological abuse perpetration over and above the predictor
variables discussed in Hypothesis 2 (interpersonal problems associated with being socially
inhibited; envy/jealousy of others; impaired cognitive and affective empathy; and hostile
attributional biases). A hierarchical regression was conducted to test this hypothesis, with the
significant demographic variables identified in Hypothesis 3 entered in step 1, the variables
discussed in Hypothesis 2 entered in step 2, and vulnerable narcissism entered in step 3.
Significant variance was added in step 2 (AR2= .078, AF= 2.44, p = .021), with hostile
attributional biases (t(12, 155) = 3.09, p = .002, f3 = .243) significantly predicting psychological
abuse perpetration. Parental status (t(12, 155) = -1.52, p = .131, f3 = -.124), the dummy coded
employment variable for individuals who were employed and worked less than 40 hours per
week (t(12, 155) = 1.58, p = .117, f3 = .112), socially inhibited interpersonal behaviors (t(12, 155)
= -1.29, p = .200, ( = -.116) envy/jealousy of others (t(12, 155) = 1.69, p = .093, ( = .156), IRI
Perspective Taking (t(12, 155) = -.99, p = .322, f3 = -.085), IRI Empathic Concern (t(12, 155) = -
.34, p = .737, ( = -.032), and IRI Fantasy (t(12, 155) = .74, p = .462, ( = .064) were all
nonsignificant. Significant variance was added to the model in step 3 (AR2= .018, AF= 4.03, p =
.047), as vulnerable narcissism was significantly associated with psychological abuse
perpetration (t(13, 154) = 2.00, p = .047, f3 = .203; see Table 16).
Hypothesis 5: I hypothesize that grandiose narcissism will explain significant uniquevariance on my measure of psychological abuse victimization over and above the predictor
variables discussed in Hypothesis 1 (interpersonal problems associated with being domineering;
impaired cognitive and affective empathy; and hostile attributional biases), but will have a
negative association with victimization. A backward stepwise regression was conducted to
determine which demographic variables previously found to be significantly associated with54
