Psychopathy and narcissism are multidimensional constructs with substantial overlap. Low agreeableness (i.e., antagonism) features prominently in clinical and theoretical descriptions of both disorders. The authors examined whether antagonism components of their assessments accounted for the overlap between narcissism and psychopathy. Next, they tested whether the antagonism components were responsible for the relations that narcissism and psychopathy bore to aggression outcomes. Using multiple regression, the authors found that the low agreeableness component accounted for the majority of overlap between psychopathy and narcissism, nearly all of the variance in narcissism's relations with aggression outcomes, and the majority of variance in psychopathy's relations with aggression outcomes. Disinhibitory traits, which serve to distinguish psychopathy from narcissism, accounted for incremental variance in aggression outcomes for psychopathy. Results are discussed in the context of the overlap between narcissism and psychopathy. The authors argue that low agreeableness is largely responsible for the maladaptive outcomes associated with grandiose narcissism and psychopathy.
精神病态和自恋是具有大量重叠的多维结构。低宜人性(即敌对性)在这两种障碍的临床和理论描述中都占有突出地位。作者研究了他们的评估中的敌对性成分是否解释了自恋和精神病态之间的重叠。接下来,他们测试了敌对性成分是否负责自恋和精神病态与攻击结果之间的关系。作者使用多元回归发现,低宜人性成分解释了精神病态和自恋之间的大部分重叠,几乎解释了自恋与攻击结果之间关系的所有差异,以及精神病态与攻击结果之间关系的大部分差异。抑制特质有助于区分精神病态和自恋,对精神病态的攻击结果有增量差异。结果在自恋和精神病态重叠的背景下进行了讨论。作者认为,低宜人性在与夸大自恋和精神病态相关的适应不良结果中起着主要作用。
