Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relation between narcissism and sex roles. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory Short Version (NPI-S) and the M-H-F Scale devised for the evaluation of sex roles consisting of three elements : Masculinity, Humanity, Femininity (Ito, 1978) were administered to 520 participants (319 males and 201 females, mean age 18.79). A factor analysis of the NPI-S revealed three significant factors which were labeled "need for attention and praise, " "sense of superiority and competence, " and "self-assertion." The results were as follows : The NPI-S showed a positive relationship with Masculinity. The "sense of superiority and competence" factor and "self-assertion" factor also showed a positive relationship with Masculinity. The "need for attention and praise" factor showed positive relationships with Masculinity and Femininity. Implications of these findings were discussed.
