This study investigated the hypothesis that narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory Short Version (NPI-S), the Self-monitoring Scale (SM), and the Risk-taking Behavior Scale for Undergraduates (RIBS-U) were administered to 192 university and graduate students. There were three NPI-S factors ("sense of superiority and competence", "need for attention and praise", and "self-assertion"), two SM factors ("extraversion" and "other-directedness"), and the single risk-taking factor of the RIBS-U. Covariance structure analysis was then conducted to test whether narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. Analysis showed that the factors of "sense of superiority and competence" and "need for attention and praise" affected risk-taking behavior through the "other-directedness" factor. However, the "self-assertion" factor was found to have a direct effect on risk-taking behavior.
本研究调查了自恋型人格特质会通过自我监控影响冒险行为这一假设。对192名大学生和研究生施测了自恋人格问卷简版（NPI-S）、自我监控量表（SM）和大学生冒险行为量表（RIBS-U）。NPI-S有三个因子（“优越感和能力感”、“对关注和赞扬的需求”以及“自我主张”），SM有两个因子（“外向性”和“他人导向性”），RIBS-U有一个冒险因子。然后进行协方差结构分析，以检验自恋型人格特质是否会通过自我监控影响冒险行为。分析表明，“优越感和能力感”以及“对关注和赞扬的需求”这两个因子通过“他人导向性”因子影响冒险行为。然而，发现“自我主张”因子对冒险行为有直接影响。
