    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by grandiosity, entitlement, and a lack of empathy.
    • Anger and aggression are frequently observed in clinical populations, including those with personality disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between narcissistic personality traits and anger expression.
    • To differentiate patterns of anger expression based on levels of narcissism and gender.

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 91 undergraduate students from introductory psychology courses participated.
    • Participants completed measures assessing narcissistic personality characteristics and anger expression styles (verbal and physical).

    Main Results:

    • Individuals scoring high on narcissism reported significantly greater verbally expressed anger.
    • A notable gender difference emerged: males high in narcissism were more likely to exhibit physically expressed anger.

    Conclusions:

    • Narcissistic personality traits are linked to distinct patterns of anger expression.
    • Understanding these associations is crucial for clinical assessment and treatment, particularly concerning diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.
