  • Narcissism and United States’ culture: The view from home and around the world

    Joshua D Miller, Jessica Maples et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2015References: 7

    The issue of Americans' levels of narcissism is subject to lively debate. The focus of the present research is on the perception of national character (PNC) of Americans as a group. In Study 1, American adults (N = 100) rated Americans as significantly more narcissistic than they perceived themselves and acquaintances. In Study 2, this finding was replicated with American college students (N = 322). PNC ratings of personality traits and externali…

  • A test of two brief measures of grandiose narcissism: The Narcissistic Personality Inventory–13 and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16.

    Brittany Gentile, Joshua D Miller et al.ARTICLEPsychological Assessment2013

    The most widely used measure of trait narcissism is the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), which can provide both total and subscale scores. However, with a length of 40 items, this measure may not be ideal in settings in which time or participant attention may limit the types of measures that can be administered. In response, Ames, Rose, and Anderson (2006) created the NPI-16, which provides a shorter, unidimensional measure of the constr…

  • Changes in Pronoun Use in American Books and the Rise of Individualism, 1960-2008

    Open AccessJ M Twenge, W Keith Campbell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2013Cited by: 16References: 35

    Change over time in culture can appear among individuals and in cultural products such as song lyrics, television, and books. This analysis examines changes in pronoun use in the Google Books ngram database of 766,513 American books published 1960-2008. We hypothesize that pronoun use will reflect increasing individualism and decreasing collectivism in American culture. Consistent with this hypothesis, the use of first person plural pronouns (e.g…

  • Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism: A Nomological Network Analysis

    Open AccessJoshua D Miller, Brian J Hoffman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2011

    Evidence has accrued to suggest that there are 2 distinct dimensions of narcissism, which are often labeled grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. Although individuals high on either of these dimensions interact with others in an antagonistic manner, they differ on other central constructs (e.g., Neuroticism, Extraversion). In the current study, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis of 3 prominent self-report measures of narcissism (N=858) to…

  • Generational Increases in Agentic Self-evaluations among American College Students, 1966–2009

    J M Twenge, W Keith Campbell et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2011

    Compared to previous generations, more American college students now rate themselves as above average on attributes such as academic ability, drive to achieve, leadership ability, public speaking ability, self-confidence, and writing ability (based on a nationally representative sample collected 1966–2009; N = 6.5 million). These birth cohort differences are similar with controls for race and gender and occurred despite the college population bec…

  • Searching for a Vulnerable Dark Triad: Comparing Factor 2 Psychopathy, Vulnerable Narcissism, and Borderline Personality Disorder

    Open AccessJoshua D Miller, Ally Dir et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2010

    Paulhus and Williams (2002) identified a "Dark Triad" comprising the following related personality styles: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. The heterogeneity found in narcissism and psychopathy raises the possibility of a second triad made up of emotional vulnerability and dark traits (i.e., the vulnerable dark triad; VDT). Along with vulnerable narcissism and Factor 2 psychopathy, the third member of the hypothesized VDT is borderl…

  • Gender Differences in Domain-Specific Self-Esteem: A Meta-Analysis

    Open AccessBrittany Gentile, Shelly Grabe et al.ARTICLEReview of General Psychology2009

    This meta-analysis examines gender differences in 10 specific domains of self-esteem across 115 studies, including 428 effect sizes and 32,486 individuals. In a mixed-effects analysis, men scored significantly higher than women on physical appearance ( d = 0.35), athletic ( d = 0.41), personal self ( d = 0.28), and self-satisfaction self-esteem ( d = 0.33). Women scored higher than men on behavioral conduct ( d = −0.17) and moral–ethical self-est…
