Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health issue.
  • Coercive control is a key factor in violence perpetration.
  • Narcissistic pathology is linked to control and abuse, but research is inconsistent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between pathological narcissism, violence, and coercive control.
  • To investigate the role of overall personality disorder severity.
  • To explore these links while accounting for personality pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Informant and self-report measures used.
  • 135 individuals in relationships with narcissistic individuals assessed.
  • Pathological narcissism, personality disorder severity, abuse, and coercive control were measured.

Main Results:

  • Personality disorder severity correlated with abuse and coercive control.
  • Pathological narcissism linked to coercive control, but not abuse.
  • Specific narcissism facets showed weak associations with abuse or control.

Conclusions:

  • Personality disorder severity may be a risk factor for coercive control and IPV in narcissistic individuals.
  • Clinical interventions for IPV should consider personality pathology.
  • Focusing on personality traits is crucial for reducing intimate partner violence.
