Currently prominent models of narcissism (e.g., Morf and Rhodewalt, 2001) primarily explain narcissists' self-defeating behaviors in terms of conscious cognitive and affective processes. We propose that the disposition of impulsivity may also play an important role. We offer 2 forms of evidence. First, we present a meta-analysis demonstrating a strong positive relationship between narcissism and impulsivity. Second, we review and reinterpret the literature on 3 hallmarks of narcissism: self-enhancement, aggression, and negative long-term outcomes. Our reinterpretation argues that impulsivity provides a more parsimonious explanation for at least some of narcissists' self-defeating behavior than do existing models. These 2 sources of evidence suggest that narcissists' quest for the status and recognition they so intensely desire is thwarted, in part, by their lack of the self-control necessary to achieve those goals.
当前，著名的自恋模型（例如，莫夫和罗德瓦尔特，2001）主要从有意识的认知和情感过程角度来解释自恋者的自我挫败行为。我们认为冲动性倾向可能也起着重要作用。我们提供两种形式的证据。首先，我们进行了一项元分析，证明自恋与冲动性之间存在强烈的正相关关系。其次，我们回顾并重新解读了关于自恋的三个标志的文献：自我提升、攻击性和负面的长期结果。我们的重新解读认为，与现有模型相比，冲动性至少为部分自恋者的自我挫败行为提供了更简洁的解释。这两种证据来源表明，自恋者对他们如此强烈渴望的地位和认可的追求，部分地受到了他们缺乏实现这些目标所需的自我控制能力的阻碍。
