  • Sculpting Narcissus

    Open AccessSandra Gloor, Madoka Kumashiro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality2025References: 56

    Narcissistic self-regulation strategies aimed at pursuing a grandiose self can undermine relationship commitment. This study examined whether Michelangelo phenomenon mechanisms, whereby partners facilitate each other’s ideal selves through affirmation processes, can mitigate these potentially detrimental effects. Across three dyadic survey-based studies ( Ns = 107, 212, 213 romantic couples), our findings demonstrated that perceiving a partner as…

  • Ethnically based rejection sensitivity and academic achievement

    Open AccessChristine Wolfgramm, Carolyn C Morf et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2014Cited by: 2References: 18

    This study examined the relation between ethnically based rejection sensitivity and academic achievement in a sample of 936 immigrant students in Germany and Switzerland. The theory of race‐based rejection sensitivity that originated in North America was extended to immigrant students in Europe. The rough political climate against immigrants in Europe makes it probable that immigrant youth face particular difficulties and are affected by ethnical…

  • How immigrant adolescents' self‐views in school and family context relate to academic success in G ermany

    Open AccessBettina Hannover, Carolyn C Morf et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social…2013Cited by: 16References: 21

    Immigrants' sense of self can be derived both from being members of their ethnic in‐group and their country of residence. We examined how the ways in which immigrant adolescents integrate these self‐views in relation to academic success in German schools. Students describe themselves at school and when with family. Using a standardized literacy performance test, analyses revealed that immigrants whose school‐related self‐view did not include G er…

  • Personality Reflected in a Coherent Idiosyncratic Interplay of Intra‐ and Interpersonal Self‐Regulatory Processes

    Open AccessCarolyn C MorfARTICLEJournal of Personality2006

    This article discusses a framework that conceptualizes personality in terms of a unique pattern of interacting intra‐ and interpersonal self‐regulatory mechanisms employed in the service of constructing and maintaining a desired self. These personal goals motivate the individuals' self‐construction efforts and give direction, organization, and coherence to the self‐regulatory dynamics—both within the person and in the social world in which they p…

  • Unraveling the Paradoxes of Narcissism

    Carolyn C Morf, Frederick RhodewaltARTICLEPsychological Inquiry2001

    We propose a dynamic self-regulatory processing model of narcissism and review supporting evidence. The model casts narcissism in terms of motivated self-construction, in that the narcissist's self is shaped by the dynamic interaction of cognitive and affective intrapersonal processes and interpersonal self-regulatory strategies that are played out in the social arena. A grandiose yet vulnerable self-concept appears to underlie the chronic goal o…
