Narcissism: issues and prospects
Narcissism: issues and prospects
Scholarly interest in narcissism, a multifaceted personality trait, has grown exponentially over the last decades due to its intriguing forms and diverse social implications. At the individual level, narcissism forms comprise grandiose and vulnerable, agentic and communal, as well as admirative and rivalrous. At the collective level, they comprise agentic collective narcissism and communal collective narcissism. But what is the defining feature of narcissism or a criterion that sets it apart from “non-narcissism”? We discuss three possibilities: fragility, egocentric exceptionalism and social selfishness, antagonism. Finally, we consider recent developments that shift the focus of inquiry from narcissism as a trait to narcissism as a state.

Abstract
Scholarly interest in narcissism, a multifaceted personality trait, has grown exponentially over the last decades due to its intriguing forms and diverse social implications. At the individual level, narcissism forms comprise grandiose and vulnerable, agentic and communal, as well as admirative and rivalrous. At the collective level, they comprise agentic collective narcissism and communal collective narcissism. But what is the defining feature of narcissism or a criterion that sets it apart from “non-narcissism”? We discuss three possibilities: fragility, egocentric exceptionalism and social selfishness, antagonism. Finally, we consider recent developments that shift the focus of inquiry from narcissism as a trait to narcissism as a state.
