Narcissism Inventory
Narcissism. For the assessment of narcissism, the study employed the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) (Ames, Rose & Anderson, 2006). The NPI-16 is a shorter, unidimensional version of the original 40-item Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40) (Raskin & Terry, 1988). It constitutes a forced-choice format questionnaire consisting of 16 paired statements, for which the respondent selects the choice that best describes him/her. In each pair, one item is narcissistic (e.g. “I like to be the center of attention”) and the other is not (e.g. “I prefer to blend in with the crowd”). One point is scored for each narcissistic response, with higher scores indicating higher levels of narcissism. The NPI-16 has notable face, internal, discriminant

    The Paradox Of Narcissism Summary

    “The Paradox of Narcissism” by John F. Schumaker targets the idea of promoting self-love and self-happiness as a social problem. Mr. Schumaker does not believe that this school of thought is a positive element in society as a whole. He believes that one should strive to better and promote happiness in others rather than just themselves individually. He see’s this as a product of western society that embraces the idea of I need to feel big and important in order to be an effective leader.…

    Conversational Narcissism in the Classroom

    In the Introduction to Linguistics class last week, Professor Ivanoff asked if the students had any questions about the material he had just discussed in his lecture. The preceding lecture covered marked words (words that clearly define or describe only one object). A student who seemed confused asked Professor Ivanoff how the use of marked words was connected to our study of Linguistics.<br><br>A student said, "Everyone knows that when you say table, a table is something with four legs and a flat surface. So table is a marked word. In a sense we already knew that because we don't go around calling everything a table." The student asked, "Is this just a definition or will it be explained further at a later time?"<br><br>"I do not understand why you are asking such a question," Professor Ivanoff said. "I just explained to you what marked and unmarked words are. Why do you ask such a question?"<br><br>"I am just wondering why you told us about marked words. How is it important in our study?" the student asked.<br><br>"I explained it to you. There are marked words and there are unmarked words. Marked words describe definite things. Unmarked words are words that can be used to define more than one thing," Professor Ivanoff shouted. "You ask such strange questions. I hold a Ph.D. in linguistics. Why do you question my authority on such subject?"<br><br>The student tried to explain one more time, "I am not questioning your authority at all. I am just wandering what the connection is between marked words and Ling-."<br><br>Professor Ivanoff interrupted, "If you want to question my authority you do so in my office. Please do not waste class time."<br><br>Unknowingly Professor Ivanoff and the student provided a perfect example of "Conversational Narcissism" and how continued habits can hinder the process of "true" dialogue. Conversational Narcissism uses "structural" devices to dominate the conversation and shift the attention from one partner to another. The shift response…

    Narcissistic Personality Disorder Analysis

    The human brain is a very complex organ and the mind is really difficult to understand. The terms are often interchanged, but the distinction between these two is that the brain is a physical part of the body and the mind controls it (Gordon, 2014). The mind tells the brain what to do, but what tells the mind what to think? Where does it come from? What are its origins? It is hard to say; the mind is a mysterious concept. Some people murder, rob, assault, rape, etc. Why would people do monstrosities such as depriving others of their lives? Society considers this behavior abnormal. They assume this type of conduct is caused by mental disorders, or mental illness. Sue, Sue, Sue, and Sue (2014) wrote in their book that professionals are shifting…

    Narcissistic Mothers

    “I wish you were never born”, my mother screamed across the living room. Mom was in one of her moods again, what was new. She has a way of making you feel like you couldn’t even understand. You didn’t know if you should run to her aid or go shut yourself in your room to get out of her hair. No matter what she made you feel it was always about her. I dealt with my mother’s selfish moods on a daily basis. I did not even come close to understanding this as a young child but always had an innate feeling that there was something seriously wrong with her. I would go back and fourth being pissed off to severely empathetic to her. I have always struggled with wanting a relationship with my mother; I love her and hate her all in the same breath. I can never recall one time in my life feeling like we were emotionally connected. I just want her to be sorry, and even more than that I want her to just recognize how bad it was. Ultimately more than anything I want to feel close to her. I don’t want to feel uncomfortable when she hugs me.…
