“…The pool used to create high and low narcissism groups consisted of 611 students (337 females; M age = 22.4, SD = 4.6). We used the Persian version ( Mohammadzadeh, 2009 ) of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16 (NPI-16; Ames et al, 2006 ) to evaluate subclinical narcissism. The total score ranges from 0 to 16 and is positively associated with narcissism, focusing on more grandiose traits.…”

IntroductionWhile the relationship between narcissism and empathy has been well-researched, studies have paid less attention to empathic accuracy, i.e., appreciating the precise strength of another person’s emotions, and self-other distinction, in terms of the disparity between affective ratings for self and other in response to emotive stimuli. Furthermore, empathic responses may vary depending on whether the pain is physical or social.MethodsWe investigated empathic accuracy, affective empathy, and the distinction between pain, emotion and intensity ratings for self and other, in high (n = 44) and low (n = 43) narcissism groups (HNG and LNG, respectively) selected from 611 students, in response to both types of pain. Participants watched six videos where targets expressed genuine experiences of physical and social pain, and rated the perceived affect and pain experienced by the person in the video and their own empathic emotional responses.Results and discussionThe HNG displayed lower affective empathy and empathic accuracy than the LNG for both pain types. Within the HNG there was higher empathic accuracy for social vs. physical pain, despite reduced affective empathy for social pain, in contrast to the LNG. In addition to this paradox, the HNG demonstrated greater differences between ratings for the self and for target others than the LNG, suggesting that narcissism is associated with higher self-other distinction in response to viewing other people describing social pain.

“…Second, critics have argued that both measures contain a substantial amount of adaptive, nonpathological content (Ackerman et al, 2016; Rosenthal & Hooley, 2010; Stanton et al, 2017). Finally, it now is widely recognized that the HPS (Mohammadzadeh & Monazzami, 2019; Schalet et al, 2011; Stanton et al, 2017) and NPI (Ackerman et al, 2011; Stanton et al, 2017) both are highly heterogeneous. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to interpret total scores on these instruments.…”

Examining the Criterion Validity and Diagnostic Specificity of Self-Report Measures of Narcissism and Mania

et al. 2020

We examined the validity of self-report measures of narcissism and mania by relating them to interview-based ratings of psychopathology. Narcissism scales were taken from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire–4+, and the Short Dark Triad. Mania measures included the Altman Self-Rated Mania Scale (ASRM) and scales taken from the Hypomanic Personality Scale (HPS) and Expanded Version of the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms. Our analyses addressed two key issues. The first issue was whether these scales demonstrated significant criterion validity (e.g., whether the HPS scales correlated significantly with interview ratings of mania). The second issue was whether they displayed specificity to their target constructs (e.g., whether the NPI scales correlated more strongly with ratings of narcissistic personality disorder than with other forms of psychopathology). All of the narcissism scales—including all three NPI subscales—correlated significantly with interview ratings of narcissistic personality disorder and showed considerable evidence of diagnostic specificity. Most of the mania scales also displayed good criterion validity and diagnostic specificity. However, two measures—the ASRM and the HPS Social Vitality subscale—had weak, nonsignificant associations with interview ratings of manic episodes; these findings raise concerns regarding their validity as specific indicators of mania.

“…Compared to the literatures for many other forms of psychopathology, there has been relatively little investigation into the psychometric properties of these BR measures as stated, including a dearth of research examining the stability of scores assessed by these measures (Carpenter, Zimmerman, Emery, & Stanton, 2020;Chmielewski & Watson, 2009;Miller et al, 2009;Mohammadzadeh & Monazzami, 2018;Stanton et al, 2019). This is surprising in some ways given that BD is defined by fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels (Sperry, Barrantes-Vidal, & Kwapil, 2018).…”

The Temporal Stability and Construct Validity of Measures Assessing Mania Symptoms and Risk: A Comparative Analysis

Fluctuations in mood and activity levels are defining features of bipolar disorder, but the temporal stability of measures used to assess symptoms and traits relevant to bipolar disorder is unclear. This study examined the short-term stability of several widely used, contemporary bipolar disorder measures (e.g., Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale, General Behavior Inventory, Hypomanic Personality Scale, Mood Disorder Questionnaire) over a period of roughly 2 weeks (M Retest Interval = 15.17 days) in an undergraduate sample. The stability correlations varied widely, ranging from .49 to .83. As would be expected, measures that were designed to assess traits related to bipolar disorder tended to show stronger stability than scales purporting to assess more transient symptoms of bipolar disorder. Other analyses revealed that—consistent with previous research—some bipolar disorder scales demonstrated moderate to strong positive relations with neuroticism/negative affect and other psychopathology, whereas others related weakly to such measures but showed more robust positive relations with extraversion/positive affect. Taken together, our findings suggest that it is important to consider administration instructions (e.g., trait vs. symptom ratings), subscale properties, and item format when selecting study measures in bipolar disorder research.
