Narcissistic Needs of the Self and Perceptions of Interpersonal Behavior.

Robbins, Steven B.; Dupont, Philip

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v39 n4 p462-67 Oct 1992

Findings from self-reports of 78 mental health clients revealed clear convergence of narcissistic needs and self-perceptions of interpersonal behaviors. Those with strong grandiose-exhibitionistic needs viewed themselves as having both dominant and friendly behavior, whereas those with strong idealizing needs viewed themselves as being submissive and moderately hostile.
