Abstract

The present study was aimed to examine whether two phenotypes of narcissism-narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic vulnerability exhibit a differential tendency of facial emotion recognition. Participants were asked to administer Pathological Narcissism Inventory and perform facial emotion recognition task. In a facial emotion recognition task, they were briefly presented with an emotional face(fearful, angry, sad, disgusting and happy) or a neutral face and rate whether or not it contained emotion. We measured the participants’ perceptual sensitivity and response bias to fearful, angry, sad, disgusting and happy faces using signal detection theory. The correlation between narcissistic phenotypes and measures of facial emotion recognition was analysed. Results indicated that both narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic vulnerability were associated with lower perceptual sensitivity to negative emotional faces. This finding suggests that lower sensitivity to negative faces reflect narcissistic entitlement and lack of empathy, which are shared features of narcissistic phenotypes. The future directions for research as well as clinical implications were discussed from the perspective of narcissism spectrum model and self regulatory theory.
