Narcissism research is poorly calibrated across fields of study in part due to confusion over how to integrate normal and pathological descriptions of narcissism. We argue that pathological and normal narcissism can be integrated in a single model that organizes around self-regulation mechanisms. We present theoretical and empirical support for this interpretation, and demonstrate that modeling pathological and normal narcissism as 2 dimensions underlying the narcissistic character can help to resolve some of the inconsistencies in the field regarding how to best assess adaptive and maladaptive expressions of narcissism.
自恋研究在不同的研究领域之间缺乏协调性，部分原因是对如何整合自恋的正常和病理描述存在混淆。我们认为，病理和正常的自恋可以在一个以自我调节机制为组织核心的单一模型中得到整合。我们提出了这一解释的理论和实证支持，并证明将病理和正常的自恋建模为自恋性格的两个维度，可以帮助解决该领域中关于如何最好地评估自恋的适应性和不良表现的一些不一致问题。
