Abstract：
Although interest in within-person variability in grandiose narcissism is growing, measurement tools are lacking that allow studying fluctuations in this personality characteristic in a differentiated manner (i.e., distinguishing narcissistic admiration and rivalry). This study explores whether a measurement approach using the six-item version of the Narcissistic Grandiosity Scale (NGS Rosenthal et al. (2007)) and six additional newly formulated adjectives allows assessing state admiration and rivalry. Structural characteristics and convergent validity of this approach were examined in an experience sampling study in which 114 adults participated, providing state assessments twice a day (total number of observations = 1306). Multilevel bifactor analyses revealed three factors (i.e., one general and two specific factors) at both within- and between-person levels. Further, admiration and rivalry showed a pattern of within-person associations with fluctuations in self-esteem and Big Five states that were consistent with theoretical expectations. Finally, average state admiration and average state rivalry correlated substantively with trait measures of these respective constructs assessed one week prior to the experience sampling design.
摘要：
尽管人们对夸张自恋的人内变异性的兴趣正在增长，缺乏能够以不同的方式研究这一个性特征波动的测量工具(即，区分自恋的钦佩和竞争)。本研究探讨了使用六项自恋宏伟量表的测量方法(NGSRosenthal等人。（2007））和另外六个新表述的形容词可以评估国家的钦佩和竞争。在114名成年人参与的经验抽样研究中，检查了这种方法的结构特征和收敛有效性。每天提供两次状态评估（观察总数=1306）。多水平双因素分析揭示了三个因素(即，一个一般因素和两个特定因素)在人内和人与人之间。Further,钦佩和竞争表现出一种与自尊波动和五大状态一致的人内联想模式。最后,平均状态钦佩和平均状态竞争与经验抽样设计前一周评估的这些结构的特征度量有实质上的相关性。
