We used self-reported narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability and a component derived from 11 potential grandiosity and narcissism variables (GNVs) coded from Rorschach behavior to predict fluctuations in self-esteem and their links to anger and defensive reactions. We assessed state mood, state self-esteem, and performance attributions in 105 college students who underwent a self-esteem manipulation involving success followed by failure on cognitive testing. Self-reported grandiosity predicted the disavowal of effortful ability as a factor in failure, but we did not replicate other previously reported findings for this variable. Self-reported vulnerability predicted oscillations in self-reported mood and self-esteem. The GNV scale predicted spontaneously expressed hostility and externalization following self-esteem insult, and attributions mediated its relationship with anger expressed after failure. We discuss implications of these results and recommend additional replication research.
我们使用自我报告的自恋型夸大和脆弱性，以及从罗夏行为编码的 11 个潜在的夸大和自恋变量（GNV）中得出的一个成分，来预测自尊的波动及其与愤怒和防御反应的联系。我们评估了 105 名大学生的状态情绪、状态自尊和表现归因，这些学生经历了一个涉及认知测试成功后失败的自尊操作。自我报告的夸大性预测了否认努力能力是失败的一个因素，但我们没有复制该变量的其他先前报告的发现。自我报告的脆弱性预测了自我报告的情绪和自尊的波动。GNV 量表预测了自尊受到侮辱后的自发表达的敌意和外化，归因中介了它与失败后表达的愤怒之间的关系。我们讨论了这些结果的意义，并建议进行更多的复制研究。
