Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite people’s adeptness at discerning group members’ status, disagreements over who ranks higher (i.e., upward-status disagreement; USD) are frequent. In this study, we evaluated how different dimensions of narcissism, which are intertwined with the pursuit of status, relate to status attainment, perception, and ultimately USDs. Following virtual task-oriented teams across three time points, we found that narcissistic admiration did not relate to status attainment or perception, yet was linked to early and consistent involvement in USDs. In contrast, narcissistic rivalry predicted other-status devaluation across all time points and a decrease in absolute status over time. The findings reveal how distinct dimensions of narcissism differentially contribute to status dynamics in teams across different stages of social interaction.
