Abstract：
The current paper aimed to investigate the network structure and centrality indexes of hypersensitive narcissism using the hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSN). Additionally, we aimed to explore its relationships with dark triad personality aspects. A globally diverse sample of \"53,981\" participants (47.9% non-United States responders) completed the HSN and Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale (DTD). We estimated the network structure across genders to determine the core characteristics of hypersensitive narcissism. Additionally, bridge and central nodes (characteristics) were identified. All analyses were performed using R-Studio programming software. The network comparison test indicated significant differences in the network structures between males and females (Network-Invariance: 0.0489, P < 0.01; Global Strength Invariance: 0.101, P < 0.01). In the network of HSN for male participants, characteristics with the highest strength centrality were \"Highly affected by criticism\" (HSN.2, strength = 1.08) and \"Self-absorbed in personal pursuits\" (HSN.8, strength = 1.28). For female participants, \"Self-absorbed in personal pursuits\" (HSN.8, strength = 1.32) and \"privately annoyed by others\' needs\" (HSN.10, strength = 1.21) were the highest central characteristics. The assessment of bridge strength indicated that nodes HSN.2 (Highly sensitive to criticism), scoring 0.42, and DTD.1 (Tendency to manipulate for gain, a component of Machiavellianism), scoring 0.428, showed the highest bridge strength values. The current study identified core characteristics of hypersensitive narcissism and its correlation with dark triad personality, revealing gender-specific patterns and bridging symptoms between the two constructs. These findings showed that focusing on these core characteristics may be advantageous in treating individuals exhibiting elevated levels of narcissism.
摘要：
本文旨在使用超敏自恋量表（HSN）研究超敏自恋的网络结构和中心性指标。此外,我们旨在探讨其与黑暗三合会人格方面的关系。全球范围内的“53,981”参与者（47.9％的非美国响应者）完成了HSN和DarkTriadDirtyDozen量表（DTD）。我们估计了不同性别的网络结构，以确定过敏自恋的核心特征。此外,确定了桥梁和中心节点(特征)。所有分析均使用R-Studio编程软件进行。网络比较检验表明，男性和女性之间的网络结构存在显着差异（网络不变性：0.0489，P<0.01；全局强度不变性：0.101，P<0.01）。在男性参与者的HSN网络中，具有最高强度中心性的特征是“高度受批评影响”（HSN.2，强度=1.08）和“自我专注于个人追求”（HSN.8，强度=1.28）。对于女性参与者，“自我专注于个人追求”（HSN.8，力量=1.32）和“被他人私下里烦恼”（HSN.10，力量=1.21）是最高的中心特征。桥梁强度评估表明节点HSN.2(对批评高度敏感)，得分为0.42，DTD.1(操纵收益的趋势，马基雅维利主义的一个组成部分)，得分为0.428，显示出最高的桥梁强度值。目前的研究确定了过敏自恋的核心特征及其与黑暗三合会人格的相关性，揭示两种结构之间的性别特异性模式和桥接症状。这些发现表明，专注于这些核心特征可能有利于治疗表现出自恋水平升高的个体。
