Abstract

Recent advancements in the theory of narcissism emphasize that it is a multidimensional construct with three distinct facets: agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic. Although this model has been extensively studied and supported in adults, there is a lack of instruments assessing the multidimensional structure of narcissism in children. In response to this gap in the literature, we aimed to introduce a new measure of three-dimensional narcissism in children. In three studies among children aged between 8 and 10 years (N = 189, N = 235, N = 163), we successfully supported the presence of the three-factor structure of narcissism. In addition, we identified respectable reliability and validity for the new measure. Agentic narcissism positively correlated with self-enhancement values, agentic attributes, and self-esteem. Neurotic narcissism was negatively correlated with self-esteem. Finally, antagonistic narcissism was negatively associated with self-transcendence values and positively with self-enhancement values. In conclusion, we propose a 12-item measure distinguishing agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism in children.

儿童三维自恋量表：结构、可靠性和构造效度。

自恋理论的最新进展强调，自恋是一种多维结构，有三个不同的方面：代理人、对抗性和神经质。虽然这一模型在成人中得到了广泛的研究和支持，但却缺乏评估儿童自恋多维结构的工具。针对这一文献空白，我们旨在引入一种新的儿童三维自恋测量方法。在三项针对 8 至 10 岁儿童的研究中（N = 189、N = 235、N = 163），我们成功地证实了自恋三因素结构的存在。此外，我们还确定了新测量方法的可靠度和有效性。代理型自恋与自我提升价值观、代理属性和自尊呈正相关。神经质自恋与自尊呈负相关。最后，对抗性自恋与自我超越价值观呈负相关，与自我提升价值观呈正相关。总之，我们提出了一种 12 个项目的测量方法，用于区分儿童的代理型、对抗型和神经质自恋。
