Although there is evidence that experts agree on the traits that characterize narcissism, this agreement may be due, in part, to the influence of the operationalizations based on the American Psychiatric Association's series of (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1980, 1994, 2013). Because these trait descriptions are important in shaping conceptualizations and serving as empirical criteria for construct validation, we explored their generalizability. In Study 1, we collected lay ratings (N = 1,792) of prototypical cases of narcissism across 15 different categories (e.g., gender, age, occupational status) on the 30 traits of the five-factor model (FFM). There was good agreement within and across rating categories and the trait profiles were quite similar to existing ratings made by academicians and clinicians. In Study 2 (N = 603), we examined the degree to which various scores from the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory-Short Form (FFNI-SF; Sherman et al., 2015) provided empirical matches to these FFM profiles (mean lay ratings from Study 1; existing expert-based and meta-analytically derived profiles). In general, scores from the FFNI-SF grandiose scale, as well as the empirically derived FFNI-SF Antagonism and Agentic Extraversion components yielded FFM profiles closely aligned to the various consensus profiles. These results are generally consistent with a burgeoning literature that suggests that the FFNI/FFNI-SF is a promising tool for the study of narcissism given its comprehensiveness, flexibility, and ties to the predominant model of personality.

尽管有证据表明专家们对自恋的特征达成了共识，但这种共识可能部分归因于基于美国精神病学协会系列（美国精神病学协会[APA]，1980年、1994年、2013年）的操作化影响。由于这些特质描述在塑造概念化以及作为构念效度验证的实证标准方面很重要，我们探讨了它们的可推广性。在研究1中，我们收集了1792名外行人对15个不同类别（如性别、年龄、职业地位）的自恋典型案例在五因素模型（FFM）的30个特质上的评分。在评分类别内部和之间都有很好的一致性，并且特质概况与学者和临床医生现有的评分非常相似。在研究2（N = 603）中，我们研究了五因素自恋量表简版（FFNI-SF；Sherman等人，2015年）的各种分数在多大程度上与这些FFM概况（研究1中的平均外行人评分；现有的基于专家和元分析得出的概况）提供了实证匹配。总体而言，FFNI-SF夸大量表的分数，以及实证得出的FFNI-SF敌对和能动外向性成分产生的FFM概况与各种共识概况紧密对齐。这些结果总体上与新兴文献一致，该文献表明FFNI/FFNI-SF鉴于其全面性、灵活性以及与主要人格模型的联系，是研究自恋的一个有前途的工具。（PsycINFO数据库记录
