Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • Previous research on narcissism in speed-dating focused on global grandiose narcissism.
  • Vulnerable narcissism and specific facets of grandiose narcissism (admirative, rivalrous) were understudied in this context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between different facets of narcissism (admirative, rivalrous, vulnerable) and second-date selection in speed-dating.
  • To expand understanding beyond global grandiose narcissism in romantic contexts.

Main Methods:

  • 129 undergraduate participants attended eight speed-dating events.
  • Participants completed measures of admirative, rivalrous, and vulnerable narcissism.
  • Dates were rated on attractiveness, intelligence, humor, ambition, and kindness; second-date interest was recorded.

Main Results:

  • Vulnerable narcissism correlated with lower second-date selection, attributed to lower ratings in physical attractiveness and humor.
  • Rivalrous narcissism was associated with a higher likelihood of being chosen for a second date.
  • Women higher in admirative narcissism received fewer second-date requests, unlike men.

Conclusions:

  • Narcissism's impact on securing second dates is complex and depends on its specific facet.
  • Findings support conceptualizing narcissism as a tripartite construct (grandiose-admirative, grandiose-rivalrous, vulnerable).
  • Different narcissistic traits have differential effects on dating success in speed-dating scenarios.
