A dynamic assessment of affective variability in narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability.
Undergraduate Thesis, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Clinical theory suggests that specific emotion regulation processes underlie narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability; however, emotional dysregulation is thought to be a general impairment that cuts across most forms of personality pathology, possibly including both narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability. Previous research has demonstrated that ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a promising method to capture dynamic processes in daily life, such as affective variability. Affective variability is thought to reflect, in part, emotional volatility and dysregulation. Thus, in this study we use EMA to understand the unique associations between emotional dysregulation and narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability to further clarify the presence of different nomological networks. Affective variability in daily life was defined by the individual standard deviation (iSD) over momentary reports of positive and negative affect and individual differences in narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability measured by the FFNI-SF and B-PNI. Results suggest that grandiosity is uniquely associated with positive affect variability and vulnerability with negative affect variability but there were notable differences across instruments.
