Abstract
This study (N = 347) aimed to reconsider relations between narcissism and love styles by viewing narcissism as a multidimensional trait including narcissistic grandiosity, vulnerability, admiration, rivalry, and communal narcissism. The results showed that mania correlated with all narcissism dimensions and that mania and ludus were best explained by the combination of narcissistic vulnerability and rivalry. Furthermore, eros, agape, and pragma styles were the best explained by the combination of admiration and communal narcissism, highlighting different self-enhancing strategies that grandiose narcissists use in their relationships. The results shed light on the complexity of relations between love styles and narcissism when considering the multidimensionality of narcissism.
