Abstract

In the current study (N = 421), we examined the relationship between the full spectrum of facets of narcissism (i.e., agentic, antagonistic, communal, and neurotic) and the personal values on community sample adopting the refined Schwartz personal 19-values theory focusing on higher-order values. All narcissism facets were related positively to self-enhancement, with antagonistic, communal, and neurotic narcissism facets were also related negatively to self-transcendence. Agentic narcissism was related positively, while communal narcissism was related negatively to openness to change. Agentic and antagonistic narcissism were related negatively to conservation. The findings are discussed in reference to the agency-communion model of grandiose narcissism and the narcissistic spectrum of personality. Each of the examined facets of narcissistic personality has its unique relationships to values, yet they all share one motivational core expressed in a higher attachment to self-enhancement values.
