Abstract

The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is widely used in social and personality psychology. The present study validates a French version of the NPI (NPI-Fr) for use with young adults. Respondents (N = 1275, Mage = 21.83, SD = 4.97) completed the NPI and two other convergent measures (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and French version of the Big Five Inventory) for three validation steps. Exploratory factor analyses yielded evidence for a structure with either two (Power/Authority, Exhibitionism/Self-Admiration) or four (Leadership/Authority, Grandiosity/Exhibitionism, Special Person, Exploitativeness/Entitlement) first-order factors for the NPI. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the 33-item four-factor model, with moderate model fit indices (&khgr;2/df = 2.04, RMSEA = .058, CFI = .90, GFI = .85). We found significant positive correlations (r = .11 to .44) with self-esteem, Extraversion, and Openness, and a negative correlation with Neuroticism (r = –.09 to –.21). There was high internal consistency, with a reliability coefficient of &agr; = .73 to .93, while test–retest reliability at 4 weeks was satisfactory. Our results confirm the psychometric quality of the questionnaire for French young adults.

法语版青年自恋人格量表的心理测量特征

自恋人格量表在社会心理学和人格心理学中有着广泛的应用。目前的研究验证了法语版本的NPI (NPI- fr)用于年轻人。被调查者(N = 1275, Mage = 21.83, SD = 4.97)完成了NPI和其他两个收敛性测量(Rosenberg自尊量表和法语版大五量表)的三个验证步骤。探索性因素分析表明，NPI具有两个(权力/权威、暴露主义/自我崇拜)或四个(领导/权威、夸大/暴露主义、特殊人物、剥削性/权利)一级因素的结构。验证性因子分析支持33项四因素模型，模型拟合指数适中(&khgr;2/df = 2.04, RMSEA = 0.058, CFI = 0.90, GFI = 0.85)。我们发现自尊、外向性和开放性之间存在显著的正相关(r = 0.11至0.44)，与神经质之间存在显著的负相关(r = -)。09到- 0.21)。内部一致性高，信度系数为&agr;= 0.73 ~ 0.93, 4周重测信度满意。我们的结果证实了法国年轻人问卷的心理测量质量。
