Abstract

This research examined the intercorrelations of scores on narcissism and the motives for affiliation, intimacy, and power. 65 students in a Master's program for business administration were given the Narcissistic Personality Inventory and the Thematic Apperception Test. A significant difference in narcissism was found between men and women. Men and women also were significantly different on the need for intimacy. Narcissism was significantly and negatively correlated with the need for intimacy and significantly and positively correlated with the need for power. The hypothesized association between narcissism and the need for affiliation was not substantiated.
