Abstract:
In the present studies, the Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire for Children-Revised (NPQC-R), which was previously validated with 7th- and 9th-grade students in Singapore, was examined with a sample of U.S. students. The NPQC-R is a self-report measure and consists of 2 (Exploitativeness and Superiority) factors. In Study 1, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on the responses of 275 U.S. students in Grades 4-8. The results of the CFA indicated that a 2-factor model provided the best fit to the data. In addition, the NPQC-R was found to be invariant across U.S. students in Grades 4-6 and 7-8. In Study 2, support for the convergent and discriminant validity and test score stability of the NPQC-R scores was found among a sample of 112 U.S. students. Implications of the findings of the studies for mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents in clinical and school settings are discussed.
