This is an edited collection of work by a distinguished set of international experts that presents a broad overview of psychological research on narcissism from diverse perspectives, including the clinical, social and personality, industrial/organizational, cognitive/social cognition, and biological/physiological point of views. The chapters are clustered into three sections focusing on intrapersonal (Chapters 110), interpersonal (Chapters 1118), and clinical (Chapters 1923) aspects of narcissism. Together, the chapters provide a comprehensive overview of one of the most popular topics in psychology. The individual chapters present in-depth reviews of particular issues such as the role of narcissism in individual responses to exposure to traumatic events, interpersonal romantic rejection, and achievement failure. A number of further topics are covered in this book, including: How narcissistic individuals react to threatening situations; Whether narcissism is a personality disorder or a cultural phenomenon ; The relationships between narcissism and self-worth, perfectionism, humor, empathy, and identity; The role of narcissism in parenting; The relationship between narcissism and eating disorders; The role of narcissism in the workplace; Cognitive, clinical, industrial-organizational (I-O), social and personality, psychological, and behavioral correlates of narcissism. This collection will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners, as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students of social psychology.
