Narcissism is a multidimensional construct consisting of many components and a
variety of conceptualizations. One such example is the NARC conceptualization of
grandiose narcissism and its two subcomponents admiration and rivalry. This research
aims to answer three questions about the NARC conceptualization: (1) what is the
relationship between narcissism and Big Six Personality dimensions?; (2) what is the
relationship between narcissism and observable behavior?; and (3) how does narcissism
relate to situational experiences in daily life? Results showed that, consistent with
previous research, narcissism was related to Big Six personality. Additionally, narcissism
was related to observable behavior. Finally, the results also showed a relationship
between narcissism and every day experience (i.e., situation experiences and state
expressions of personality). Most critically, the pattern of results suggests that although
admiration and rivalry are related subcomponents of narcissism, they are quite distinct in
terms of their personality and behavioral correlates. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
