What is narcissism?
This is a personality disorder that involves people that are very arrogant and consumed with themselves
Healthy and unhealthy narcissismConscious and the unconscious
Diagnostic Statistical Manual Criteria
A great sense of self importance Dreams of unlimited success, power, beauty, or perfect
love Belief that they are special and unique Need for excessive admiration Sense of entitlement Will take advantage of others to achieve their own
ends Lack of empathy and failure to identify with the
feelings or needs of others Often envious and think others are envious of them Arrogant, haughty behavior
Communal and agentic domains
Positive views involving agentic domains but negative views involving communal domains
Agentic domains- status and intelligenceCommunal domains- kindness, morality,
interpersonal relationships
General consensus
Self absorbed Only care about themselves Can not maintain a healthy relationshipIs this really the truth or deep down inside
do narcissists dislike themselves?
Implicit associations test (IAT)
Self esteem measurement Categorizing words “like me” and “not like
me”Test takers rarely know they are being
assessed for self esteemAssociate “bad” words= low implicit self
esteemAssociate “good” word= high implicit self
esteem
Using communal words
Communal words refer to a connection between two people, as we know narcissists are not good at making those intimate connections therefore using communal words in the IAT will rate the implicit self esteem lower.
Conclusion
To conclude, narcissists have a very high rate of divorce and not being able to keep long term intimate relations with another persons, there are very self absorbed and thus far there in no certain cure for this personality disorder because it is hard to change the way someone perceives themselves and presents themselves to the world around them. There has been test conducted on this type of person to see what they really think about themselves but they are not all accurate because there is always the chance of false information from the person taking the assessment.
