Status pursuit has been emphasized as a key motivational factor underlying narcissism, but research has just begun to unravel the processes by which more narcissistic individuals pursue status in their everyday social interactions. In this article, we combine process models of narcissistic status pursuit with three-factor models of narcissism to test whether different aspects of narcissism (i.e., agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism) can be characterized by stronger reactivity to different kinds of status perceptions (i.e., the perceived assignment of status, attack on status, and neglect of status). Using data from two experience sampling studies, one involving college students ( = 285; = 18,036) and one in the general population ( = 1,177; = 36,074), we first found that the perceived assignment of status, attack on status, and neglect of status were related to status-relevant behaviors (i.e., expressive, combative, and avoidant behaviors) and emotions (e.g., pride, anger, and shame) within persons on average. Next, we found that both mean levels of perceptual, behavioral, and emotional states and status contingencies (i.e., the within-person relationships of status perceptions with behavioral and emotional states) varied considerably across individuals and that these individual differences were reliable and stable across time. Last, we found some associations between trait levels of agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism and individual differences in mean levels as well as status-emotion contingencies. Our findings emphasize the multifaceted and status-driven nature of narcissism and support the use of theoretically derived contingencies as more dynamic aspects of personality.

地位追求被强调为自恋背后的一个关键动机因素，但研究才刚刚开始揭示自恋程度较高的个体在日常社交互动中追求地位的过程。在本文中，我们将自恋地位追求的过程模型与自恋的三因素模型相结合，以测试自恋的不同方面（即主动型、敌对型和神经质型自恋）是否可以通过对不同类型的地位感知（即地位的感知分配、对地位的攻击和对地位的忽视）具有更强的反应性来表征。使用来自两项经验抽样研究的数据，一项涉及大学生（n = 285；n = 18,036），另一项针对普通人群（n = 1,177；n = 36,074），我们首先发现，平均而言，地位的感知分配、对地位的攻击和对地位的忽视与个体内部与地位相关的行为（即表达性、好斗性和回避性的行为）和情绪（如骄傲、愤怒和羞耻）有关。接下来，我们发现，感知、行为和情绪状态的平均水平以及地位偶然性（即地位感知与行为和情绪状态的个体内部关系）在个体之间存在很大差异，并且这些个体差异在时间上是可靠且稳定的。最后，我们发现主动型、敌对型和神经质型自恋的特质水平与平均水平的个体差异以及地位 - 情绪偶然性之间存在一些关联。我们的研究结果强调了自恋的多面性和地位驱动的本质，并支持将理论推导的偶然性作为人格中更具动态性的方面来使用。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
