Abstract
ABSTRACT The present research examined the connections that narcissism had with attitudes toward alternative romantic partners and romantic commitment. Across four studies, we examined whether narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry had indirect associations with commitment through attitudes toward alternative romantic partners. Results revealed that narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry differed in their associations with romantic commitment but had similar associations with the willingness to consider alternative romantic partners and these attitudes toward alternative partners provided at least a partial explanation for the low levels of commitment that often characterize narcissistic individuals. Discussion focuses on the implications of these results for understanding the role that attitudes toward alternative partners play in the connections that narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry have with romantic commitment.
