| Abstract |
Narcissists are perplexing. On the one hand, narcissists brag, show off, and groom their appearance to grasp others' attention. In these instances, they are seen as charming, inspiring, and attractive. On the other hand, narcissists quarrel, lash out, and do their best to derogate others. In these instances, they are seen as insulting, belittling, and intimidating. What underlying motive reconciles these seemingly contradictory behaviors? We and our colleagues investigated this question in a recent study.
