| Abstract | Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je steći dublji uvid u odnos grandioznog i vulnerabilnog narcizma s dimenzijama velepetorog modela ličnosti i generalnim samopoštovanjem. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 314 sudionika mlađe odrasle dobi. Podaci su prikupljeni sa sudionicima iz Hrvatske te se većinom radi o ženama srednje ili više stručne spreme. Inventar patološkog narcizma (PNI) korišten je kao mjera grandioznog i vulnerabilnog narcizma, dok je kao mjera ličnosti korišten hrvatski prijevod bipolarnih markera velepetoroga modela. Kao mjera generalnog samopoštovanja korištena je Rosenbergova skala samopoštovanja (RSES). Podaci su prikupljani online putem, tehnikom snježne grude. Istraživanje je pokazalo potrebu za razlikovanjem grandioznog od vulnerabilnog narcizma zbog nepostojanja povezanosti grandioznog narcizma s generalnim samopoštovanjem, dok je s druge strane, vulnerabilni narcizam značajno povezan s niskim generalnim samopoštovanjem. Potrebu za razlikovanjem dvaju formi narcizma pokazuje i njihov drugačiji odnos sa dimenzijama ličnosti. Grandiozni narcizam povezan je s povišenom ekstraverzijom i intelektom, dok je vulnerabilni narcizam značajno povezan s nižom razinom ekstraverzije, emocionalne stabilnosti i ugodnosti. Kod vulnerabilnog narcizma posebice se ističe ljestvica kontingentnog samopoštovanja koja je, uz izraženu povezanost s nižom razinom generalnog samopoštovanja, jedina ljestvica povezana s nižim rezultatom na svim dimenzijama ličnosti. S druge strane, iako se očekivala povezanost grandioznog narcizma s nižom razinom ugodnosti, jedino ljestvica grandioznog narcizma, koja se odnosi na gajenje grandioznih fantazija, korelira s nižom razinom ugodnosti. Takvi rezultati ukazuju na važnost sagledavanja odnosa među konstruktima na dubljoj razini ne bi li se stekao dublji uvid u problematiku, ali i važnost razlikovanja ne samo razine nego i vrste samopoštovanja kod narcisoidnih osoba. |
| Abstract (english) | The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, Big Five personality model and general self-esteem. The study was conducted on 314 young adults, most of which finished high school level of education or had their bacalerus degree. Participants were from Croatia and mostly female. The pathological narcissism inventory (PNI) was used as a measure of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, while the personality was measured with Croatian translation of Bipolar markers based on Big Five personality model. Rosenbergs self-esteem scale (RSES) was used as a measure of global self-esteem. Data was collected online by shearing posts on social media and by mail. Results indicate the need to differentiate grandiose from vulnerable narcissism due to the lack of association between grandiose narcissism and general selfesteem, while, on the other hand, vulnerable narcissism is significantly associated with low general self-esteem. The need to distinguish between two forms of narcissism is also demonstrated by their different relationship with the dimensions of personality. Grandiose narcissism is associated with increased extraversion and intellect, while vulnerable narcissism is significantly associated with lower levels of extraversion, emotional stability, and agreeableness. When observing the results on a scale level, vulnerable narcissism scale, contingent self-esteem, is associated with lower level of general self-esteem, and is the only scale associated with lower score on all personality dimensions. On the other hand, although grandiose narcissism was expected to be associated with lower level of agreeableness, only the scale of grandiose narcissism, grandiose fantasies, is associated with a lower level of agreeableness. Such results point to the importance of looking at the relationship between constructs at a deeper level in order to gain more valuable insight into the relationship between constructs. Results implicate that it is important to distinguish, not only the level, but also the type of self-esteem in future research of narcissism. |
