This meta-analytic review examines the link between narcissism and aggression, and whether the link is stronger under provocation conditions. A total of 437 independent studies were located, which included 123,043 participants. Narcissism was related to both aggression (r = .26, [.24, .28]) and violence (r = .23, [.18, .27]). As expected, the narcissism-aggression link was stronger under provocation conditions (r = .29, [.23, .36]) than under no provocation conditions (r = .12, [.05, .18]), but was even significant in the absence of provocation. Both "normal" and "pathological" narcissism were related to aggression. All three dimensions of narcissism (i.e., entitlement, grandiose narcissism, vulnerable narcissism) were related to aggression. Narcissism was related to all forms of aggression (i.e., indirect, direct, displaced, physical, verbal, bullying), and to both functions of aggression (i.e., reactive, proactive). The relation between narcissism and aggression was significant for males and females, for people of all ages, for students and nonstudents, and for people from individualistic and collectivistic countries. Significant results were obtained in experimental, cross-sectional, and longitudinal studies, in published and unpublished studies, and in studies that assessed aggression using different types of measures (i.e., self-report, other-report, observation). Overall results were robust to publication bias and the presence of outliers. Theoretically, these results indicate that provocation is a key moderator of the link between narcissism and aggression. Individuals high in narcissism have "thin skins" and are prone to aggression when they are provoked. Practically, these results suggest that narcissism is an important risk factor for aggression and violence. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

自恋和侵略之间的联系：元分析评论。

这篇元分析评论检查了自恋和攻击性之间的联系，以及这种联系在挑衅条件下是否更强。共找到 437 项独立研究，其中包括 123,043 名参与者。自恋与侵略（r = .26, [.24, .28]）和暴力（r = .23, [.18, .27]）有关。正如预期的那样，在挑衅条件下 (r = .29, [.23, .36])，自恋-攻击性联系比在没有挑衅条件下 (r = .12, [.05, .18]) 更强，但甚至在没有挑衅的情况下很重要。“正常”和“病态”自恋都与攻击性有关。自恋的所有三个维度（即权利、夸大的自恋、脆弱的自恋）都与侵略有关。自恋与所有形式的侵略（即间接、直接、流离失所、身体、言语、欺凌），以及攻击的两种功能（即反应性、主动性）。自恋和攻击性之间的关系对男性和女性、所有年龄段的人、学生和非学生以及来自个人主义和集体主义国家的人都很重要。在实验、横断面和纵向研究、已发表和未发表的研究以及使用不同类型的措施（即，自我报告、其他报告、观察）评估攻击性的研究中都获得了显着的结果。总体结果对发表偏倚和异常值的存在是稳健的。从理论上讲，这些结果表明挑衅是自恋和攻击性之间联系的关键调节因素。高度自恋的人有“薄皮” 并且在被激怒时容易进行攻击。实际上，这些结果表明自恋是侵略和暴力的重要危险因素。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
