Previous research has suggested that narcissism can be conceptualized as a multidimensional construct consisting of the related, but unique, dimensions of grandiosity and entitlement. The current studies examined the divergent associations of grandiosity and entitlement with respect to different types of self-serving strategies. In Study 1, we found that narcissistic grandiosity, but not entitlement, was positively associated with a self-enhancing strategy of unrealistic optimism. This association was not mediated by self-esteem. In Study 2, narcissistic entitlement, but not grandiosity, was predictive of unethical decision-making, an interpersonal self-promotional strategy that advances the self at the expense of others. Together, both studies support a model of narcissism consisting of a relatively intrapersonal dimension of grandiosity and a relatively interpersonal dimension of entitlement.
先前的研究表明，自恋可以被概念化为一个多维结构，由夸大和特权这两个相关但独特的维度组成。当前的研究考察了夸大和特权在不同类型的利己策略方面的不同关联。在研究1中，我们发现自恋的夸大，而非特权，与不切实际的乐观这种自我提升策略呈正相关。这种关联并非由自尊介导。在研究2中，自恋的特权，而非夸大，能够预测不道德决策，这是一种以牺牲他人为代价来提升自我的人际自我推销策略。两项研究共同支持了一个自恋模型，该模型由一个相对涉及个体内部的夸大维度和一个相对涉及人际的特权维度组成。
