“…The first is control: High narcissists have an inflated sense of personal control over their environment (Watson, Sawrie, & Biderman, 1991). The second is power: Narcissism is associated with a heightened need for status and power (Bradlee & Emmons, 1992;Carroll, 1987). The third is achievement: High narcissists have high expectations for themselves (Farwell & Wohlwend-Lloyd, 1998), and high selfefficacy is linked with high need for achievement (Pajares, 1997).…”

“…Indeed, narcissists can be charismatic when it suits them, but evidence suggests that they are mostly indifferent to interpersonal relationships except as an avenue for self-enhancement. For example, they have low intimacy striving, are generally blind to others' perspectives, and lack empathy (Carroll, 1987;Watson, Grisham, Trotter, & Biderman, 1984). In addition, they have inflated self-views and tend to think they are better than others (Campbell, Reeder, Sedikides, & Elliot, 2000;Farwell & Wohlwend-Lloyd, 1998;Gabriel, Critelli, & Ee, 1994;John & Robins, 1994;Robins & John, 1997).…”

“…First, narcissism is associated with a deep yearning for leadership roles (Carroll, 1987;Raskin & Novacek, 1991). Narcissists' innate desire for status and power may lead them to hold more leadership roles partly because they self-nominate for available leadership positions (Hogan, Raskin, & Fazzini, 1990).…”

“…They also report diminished empathy (Watson, Grisham, Trotter, & Biderman, 1984). Finally, they report a lesser need for intimacy than do nonnarcissists (Carroll, 1987). …”

“…In particular, narcissists are interested in self-enhancing or maintaining esteem (Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001;Raskin, Novacek, & Hogan, 1991b). They often accomplish this by seeking and expressing superiority to or dominance over others (Bradlee & Emmons, 1992;Carroll, 1987;Emmons, 1984;Raskin, Novacek, & Hogan, 1991a, 1991bRaskin & Terry, 1988). They augment their sense of superiority to others by drawing attention to themselves (Rudich, 2001) or by performing exhibitionistic acts (Buss & Chiodo, 1991).…”
