“…Narcissism was found to significantly contribute to body satisfaction, supporting past research (e.g., Davis et al 1996;Jackson et al 1992). The effect of narcissism on body satisfaction was equal for both straight and gay gymactive males.…”

“…Research has found that individuals who score higher in narcissism are more satisfied with their bodies compared to those who score lower (e.g. Davis et al 1996;Jackson et al 1992). Jackson et al (1992) found that both males and females high in narcissism evaluated their physical appearance, fitness, and sexuality more favourably (Winstead and Cash 1984).…”

Jackson et al (1992) found that both males and females high in narcissism evaluated their physical appearance, fitness, and sexuality more favourably (Winstead and Cash 1984). However, they participated in more fitness and appearance related behaviours and felt fitness and appearance as more important compared to less narcissistic individuals.…”

“…Narcissism appears to be strongly associated with masculinity (Jackson et al 1992). Raskin and Terry (1988) identified self-love, self-admiration, and self-aggrandisement as part of Freud's clinical diagnosis of clinical narcissism, which Philipson (1985) sees as a distinctive part of the male/masculine experience.…”

This study compared 80 gay and straight Australian males on self report measures of body satisfaction, masculinity, femininity, narcissism, and reasons for exercising at gyms to explore factors related to excessive exercise. Gay males are less satisfied with their bodies compared to straight males. Improving appearance was more important for gay men, while fun was considered more important for straight men. Only sexual orientation and masculinity contributed independently to body satisfaction. Straight males who scored high on masculinity were most satisfied with their bodies, while gay males who scored low on masculinity were least satisfied with their bodies, irrespective of femininity and narcissism. Hours exercising per week and fun as a reason for exercising, significantly contributed to body satisfaction.

“…For instance, both Machiavellianism and narcissism have shown positive associations with femininity (e.g., Jackson et al, 1992;Nigro & Galli, 1985). Furthermore, Machiavellianism alone has correlated positively with a preference for conservative values focusing on the maintenance of tradition, which can be seen as a representation of SPI's conventionality dimension (e.g., Krampen, 1980;Shafiq, 1982;Stone & Russ, 1976), and only narcissism has shown negative relations with religiosity (e.g., Ghorbani et al, 2004) and with thriftiness (Rose, 2007).…”

The Dark Triad of personality, comprising Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, was investigated in relation to the Supernumerary Personality Inventory (SPI) traits, because both sets of variables are predominantly distinct from the Big Five model of personality. Correlational and principal factor analyses were conducted to assess the relations between the Dark Triad and SPI traits. Multivariate behavioral genetic model-fitting analyses were also conducted to determine the correlated genetic and/or environmental underpinnings of the observed phenotypic correlations. Participants were 358 monozygotic and 98 same-sex dizygotic adult twin pairs from North America. As predicted, results revealed significant correlations between the Dark Triad and most SPI traits, and these correlations were primarily attributable to common genetic and non-shared environmental factors, except in the case of Machiavellianism, where shared environmental effects emerged. Three correlated factors were extracted during joint factor analysis of the Dark Triad and SPI traits, as well as a heritable general factor of personality — results that clarified the structure of the Dark Triad construct. It is concluded that the Dark Triad represents an exploitative and antisocial construct that extends beyond the Big Five model and shares a theoretical space with the SPI traits.
