  • Be a hero, be your own best friend

    Open AccessLuisa Solms, Machteld van den Heuvel et al.ARTICLEHigher Education2025

    Growing research evidence points towards a mental health crisis in PhD students. High-quality support services for PhD students are scarce as is research on interventions. Inspired by Conservation of Resources theory, we introduce a novel type of PsyCap intervention—a self-compassion-based PsyCap training—that aims to improve PhD students’ well-being (i.e., in terms of reducing work pressure and increasing positive affect and support seeking) thr…

    While narcissistic individuals tend to exhibit more antisocial (rather than prosocial) behavior in social contexts and evaluate antisocial information more positively, it is unclear how they first come to select social information.

Building on the dominance-complementarity theory, we theorized that the dominance and confidence of narcissistic leaders would match well with the submissiveness and insecurity of followers with low self-esteem. We conducted an obs…

  • How Narcissism Shapes Responses to Antisocial and Prosocial Behavior

    Open AccessJiafang Chen, Barbara Nevicka et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2022

    Narcissists have a relatively higher proclivity for displaying antisocial rather than prosocial behaviors, suggesting a comparatively higher tendency for unfavorably impacting societies. However, maintenance of social order also depends on appropriate responses to others’ social behavior. Once we focus on narcissists as observers rather than actors, their impact on social functioning becomes less clear-cut. Theoretical arguments suggest that narc…

  • Employee narcissism and promotability prospects

    Open AccessBarbara Nevicka, Constantine SedikidesARTICLEJournal of Personality2021

    INTRODUCTION: Narcissistic individuals often rise to positions of influence, but how so? Upward mobility in formal hierarchies is frequently contingent upon supervisory evaluations. We examined the relation between employee narcissism and supervisor promotability ratings, testing predictions from the display of power perspective (narcissism will positively predict promotability due to higher perceived power) and impression management perspective …
