While narcissistic individuals tend to exhibit more antisocial (rather than prosocial) behavior in social contexts and evaluate antisocial information more positively, it is unclear how they first come to select social information. This is important to understand as it has bearing on their subsequent behavior. We hypothesized that individuals higher (vs. lower) on antagonistic narcissism select less prosocial and more antisocial information. In two studies, we investigated how antagonistic narcissism affects one’s choice of news headlines. We also examined narcissists’ social motives, (affective) empathy, and sensation seeking as potential underlying mechanisms (S2). Higher antagonistic narcissism predicted selection of less prosocial (S1–S2) and more antisocial information (S1), both of which were explained by lower empathy and higher sensation seeking (S2).

This article aims to clarify how the Big Five personality traits predict individual differences and changes in three unique occupational well-being components (i.e., the variance that does not overlap with the other two components), beyond core occupational well-being (i.e., the shared variance of the components). We conceptualized occupational well-being as job satisfaction, work meaningfulness, and work psychological richness, and considered employees’ priorities in occupational well-being components. Across seven monthly measurement waves, N = 612 participants provided data, which were analyzed using linear mixed-effect models, growth-curve analyses, and multinomial regression analyses. All five personality traits positively predicted core occupational well-being. Relationships with the unique occupational well-being components differed. Emotional stability, conscientiousness, and openness most strongly predicted occupational well-being. Openness most strongly predicted growth in core occupational well-being. Openness and agreeableness were the best predictors of employees’ priorities in occupational well-being components.

Grandiose narcissists claim to be highly persuasive, and they possess characteristics (e.g., charisma, confidence) that might make them so. We report four studies that put their claims to the test. One study focused on spoken persuasion and three on written persuasion (N = 872 speakers/writers and 987 targets who rated persuasiveness). In all four studies, narcissistic speakers/writers claimed that their speeches/essays would be persuasive. However, whereas targets rated their speeches as relatively persuasive (Study 1), they rated their essays as relatively unpersuasive (Studies 2A–C). Differences between study samples and methods preclude direct comparisons between communication modalities. Nevertheless, the results offer a proof of concept that narcissists may not be as persuasive as they think they are, especially when writing.

We propose a new conceptualization of communal narcissism, the Narcissistic Sanctity and Heroism Concept (NSHC). We define narcissistic sanctity as a biased sense of exceptional warmth and morality, and narcissistic heroism as a heightened sense of self-importance in improving the social world. Drawing on 11 samples (N = 5606; 56 % women; Polish general population), we validated the NSHC, using circumplex models and peer-rating data. Sanctity reflects a communal orientation, as evidenced in relation to narcissistic grandiosity, narcissistic antagonism, personality correlates, and overrating on communal (but not agentic) traits. Heroism reflects a communal and agentic orientation, as evidenced in relation to narcissistic grandiosity, narcissistic antagonism, personality correlates, and overrating on agentic and communal traits. The NSHC has theoretical and empirical promise.

Psychopathy is often conceptualized as an antisocial construct, with limited attention given to its expression of prosocial behaviors. This study investigated how interdependent and independent self-construal moderate the relationship between psychopathic traits and different forms of prosocial behavior in a large Chinese community sample (N = 1,519). Using a three-factor model of psychopathy (Egocentricity, Callousness, Antisocial), our analyses revealed that interdependent self-construal significantly moderated the expression of egocentric traits. Specifically, interdependence strengthens the positive association between egocentricity and public prosocial behaviors while attenuating its negative links to anonymous and altruistic prosocial behaviors. The moderating role of independent self-construal was less consistent, weakening the negative effects of egocentricity traits on altruistic helping while strengthening the antisocial traits negative links. These findings support the moderated-expression model of psychopathy, highlighting self-construal as critical contextual cues that moderate the expression of psychopathic traits relating to prosocial behaviors. Implications for the role of sociocultural factors in understanding prosociality among individuals with psychopathic traits are discussed.

This study explored using Large Language Models (LLMs) in early personality test construction, presenting a method to efficiently assess item relevance to psychological constructs. Study 1 generated self-esteem and Five-Factor Model (FFM) scales by analyzing AI-agent responses, resulting in scales with high internal consistency and face validity. Study 2 tested these scales with 449 human participants, finding that the AI-created self-esteem scale showed satisfactory internal consistency and strong correlations with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The AI-created FFM scales demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity with the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised, and similar correlational patterns, though with some discrepancies in Agreeableness. These findings suggest LLMs can streamline item selection in personality test development.

Psycholexical approach has made a significant contribution to achieving consensus in the taxonomy of personality traits. The aim of the paper is to propose the first psycholexical taxonomy of emotions. Two independent studies were conducted to determine the structure of the comprehensive list of morphologically unique emotion descriptors. In the first study (1,038 participants), emotions were described using single terms, whereas in the second study (679 participants) using short sentences based on the same list of descriptors. Parallel analysis and congruence coefficients (self- vs. observer-rating, orthogonal vs. oblique rotation), revealed in both studies similar eleven-component structure: Sadness-Apathy, Distress, Anger, Fear-Anxiety, Panic-Loss of Control, Enjoyment-Relaxation, Surprise-Interest, Shame, Contempt, Regret-Guilt-Compassion, and Love. The correspondence between this structure and existing emotion classification frameworks is discussed.

A meta-analysis is provided to disentangle the relationship between perfectionism and impostor phenomenon. Following a preregistered protocol, a systematic search provided 25 studies (N = 12,141) and 42 effect sizes. Perfectionistic strivings had a small positive relationship with impostor phenomenon (r+=.15[.07, 0.23]) and perfectionistic concerns had a large positive relationship with impostor phenomenon (r+=.61[.55, 0.65]). In turn, perfectionistic concerns made a substantially larger contribution to the overall effect of perfectionism (βPS + βPC = 0.57[.54, 0.60]). There was also evidence that the relationship with perfectionistic concerns was larger in studies with more females. The overlap between perfectionism and impostor phenomenon appears to relate mainly to a need to appear perfect to others. Future research should examine their development and mediating and moderating factors.

Conservative political ideology is associated with social dominance orientation (SDO), right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), psychopathic propensities (PPs), and other malevolent dispositions, and reduced empathy. We examined the links between SDO, RWA, PPs and political ideology, and whether those who view Trump favorably reported higher PPs (or malevolent traits) and reduced empathy or benevolent dispositions. Two U.S. community samples were used; Sample 1 was white vs. minority status men (N = 1000, 32 % minority) and Sample 2 contained men and women (N = 8,047; 45 % male). Structural equation modeling was utilized to represent ideology in terms of right- vs. left-leaning orientation on social and economic issues, including participants’ views of Trump. Malevolent (+) and benevolent (−) dispositions and empathy disturbances were significantly linked with conservative ideology.

How well friendships are going likely depends on perceptions people have about their friends, such as how they approach relationships in general. Adopting a social relations model perspective, we examined sources of variation in relationship quality (across 10 indicators) and attachment judgments in a sample of 377 quads of friends (N = 1,508 individuals). Relationship quality largely stemmed from the shared interactions between two people, although some perceiver variance was found. Judgments of avoidance largely stemmed from consensus; judgments of anxiety came from a mix of consensus and perceiver variance (i.e., tending to see everyone as anxious or not). Bivariate analyses found that people seen as anxious were seen as ambivalent friends — providing both positive and negative experiences for friends.
