Sentences with phrase «adaptive narcissism»

These results demonstrated that in addition to controlling for gender, mediational analyses needed to examine Adaptive Narcissism after controlling for Maladaptive Narcissism and vice versa as independent variables in models predicting the dependent variable of Anger.

Most importantly, however, these results revealed that Self - Esteem, Physical Appearance, and Approval of Others not only fully mediated the Adaptive Narcissism relationship with lower Anger, but also suppressed a positive connection with Anger that would have been evident without the influence of structure.

God's Love and Virtue also predicted lower Maladaptive Narcissism, and a positive connection appeared between God's Love and Adaptive Narcissism.

First, maladaptive narcissism should predict greater and adaptive narcissism should predict lower levels of anger.

Indirect effect paths reconfirmed Self - Esteem as an index of structure because it predicted greater Adaptive Narcissism and lower Anger, and Physical Appearance again seemed to operationalize the absence of structure because it exhibited an opposite pattern.

After controlling for Adaptive Narcissism as well as for gender, these significant associations remained essentially unchanged, and Maladaptive Narcissism correlated negatively with Self - Esteem and God's Love and positively with Approval of Others.

After controlling for gender and Maladaptive Narcissism, Adaptive Narcissism exhibited significant associations with Self - Esteem (β =.56), Physical Appearance (β = -.11), Approval of Others (β = -.28), and God's Love (β =.19, ps <.05).

All three measures displayed positive ties with Maladaptive Narcissism, and Approval of Others and Physical Appearance correlated negatively with Adaptive Narcissism.

As expected, therefore, Adaptive Narcissism became more unambiguously adaptive when procedures controlled for Maladaptive Narcissism as well as for gender.

After controlling for only gender, Adaptive Narcissism predicted greater Self - Esteem and God's Love and lower Approval of Others; however, it failed to exhibit any linkage with Anger and also correlated positively with a Competition variable that had displayed connections with greater Anger and lower Self - Esteem.

Analyses, therefore, included these four variables as possible mediators of the Adaptive Narcissism relationship with lower Anger.

Theory and research suggest that an internalization of psychological «structure» related to self - esteem may mediate relationships of Maladaptive Narcissism with higher and Adaptive Narcissism with lower Anger.

Mediation analyses also revealed that structure not only fully mediated the inverse Adaptive Narcissism linkage with Anger, but also suppressed an association with greater Anger that would otherwise have been evident.
