Abstract

According to the continuum hypothesis, narcissism is a personality construct relevant to a dimension of psychological functioning that ranges from PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSISM, to healthy narcissism, and finally to self-esteem. This possibility first appeared in studies examining factors from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) in American samples. Unpublished previous studies have revealed the NPI to have low internal consistency in Iranian samples. In this study, narcissism was investigated cross culturally in Iran and in the United States using the Marglois-Thomas (1980) Narcissism Scale. The results revealed that in both samples, all observed factors appeared d to be pathological. PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSISM was defined by different specific factors in the two societies. In correlations with other variables, INDIVIDUALISM predicted greater PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSISM in the US, and not in Iran. COLLECTIVISM was associated with lower narcissism in both cultures.Iranians scored higher on PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSISM with Americans being higher on INDIVIDUALISM. Such contrasts must be interpreted cautiously because these scales may not be measuring exactly the same thing in the two societies. These findings suggest that different theories may need to be developed for explanting the nature and causes of narcissism in Iran in comparison to the West.
