Variability in the Relational Self and Self-Esteem: College Students

This study examined the common and di唖 erent factors of self-esteem, narcissism, and social phobia from the perspective of self-acceptance. Japanese undergraduates N ＝ 267 completed a questionnaire that assessed narcissism, social phobic tendency, self-esteem, and self-acceptance. Three aspects of self-acceptance were measured: denite evaluation of self-features, self-acceptance for each features of the self, and subjective estimation of their own self-acceptance evaluations by others. The results showed that denite evaluation and selfacceptance evaluations were related positively to narcissism and self-esteem. However, the relation between narcissism and self-acceptance evaluations was not signicant when controlled for the e唖 ect of denite evaluation of self-features. In addition, social phobic tendency was negatively related to denite evaluation and selfacceptance evaluations. These results implied that self-acceptance evaluation was an important factor that explains the common and di唖 erent factors of self-esteem, narcissism, and social phobia.

The relationship between narcissistic personality traits and risk-taking behavior is mediated by self-monitoring Itsuko Ogura and Hisashi Yazawa （Tokai Gakuin University）This study investigated the hypothesis that narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory Short Version (NPI-S), the Self-monitoring Scale (SM), and the Risk-taking Behavior Scale for Undergraduates (RIBS-U) were administered to 192 university and graduate students. There were three NPI-S factors ("sense of superiority and competence", "need for attention and praise", and "self-assertion"), two SM factors ("extraversion" and "other-directedness"), and the single risk-taking factor of the RIBS-U. Covariance structure analysis was then conducted to test whether narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. Analysis showed that the factors of "sense of superiority and competence" and "need for attention and praise" affected risk-taking behavior through the "otherdirectedness" factor. However, the "self-assertion" factor was found to have a direct effect on risk-taking behavior.
