Work on narcissism has identified two variants: grandiose and vulnerable. The variants share an antagonistic core, but differ in neuroticism and extraversion. The current study explored how the variants relate to behavioral aggression following provocation. Results showed an interaction between grandiose narcissism and condition, such that grandiose narcissism was positively related to aggression only among those who were provoked, though the magnitude of this interaction was dependent on which measure of grandiose narcissism was used. A similar effect for vulnerable narcissism was not found. Moderated mediation analyses showed that antagonism-related traits were responsible for this relation. For vulnerable narcissism, moderated mediation results showed competing relations among vulnerable narcissism components-neuroticism-related traits were negatively related while antagonism-related traits were positively related. Results are discussed in the context of previous work. Antagonism-related traits, as opposed to traits related to extraversion and neuroticism, are most important in explaining narcissistic aggression.

使用 FFM 框架解开自恋特征与挑衅后行为攻击之间的关系。

关于自恋的工作已经确定了两种变体：浮夸和脆弱。这些变体共享一个对抗核心，但在神经质和外向性方面有所不同。目前的研究探讨了这些变体如何与挑衅后的行为攻击相关。结果显示夸大自恋与条件之间存在相互作用，因此仅在那些被激怒的人中，夸大自恋与攻击性呈正相关，尽管这种相互作用的程度取决于使用哪种夸大自恋的衡量标准。没有发现对脆弱自恋的类似影响。适度的中介分析表明，与拮抗相关的特征是造成这种关系的原因。对于脆弱的自恋，调节中介结果显示脆弱自恋成分之间的竞争关系-神经质相关特征呈负相关，而对抗相关特征呈正相关。结果在先前工作的背景下进行了讨论。与外向性和神经质相关的特征相反，与对抗相关的特征在解释自恋攻击性方面最为重要。
