This study investigated the mediating effects of internalized shame and conspicuous self-presentation on the relationship between covert narcissism and social networking sites (SNS) addiction proneness. Participants included 378 adult SNS users (157 males; 221 females). Measures included the SNS Addiction Proneness Scale, Covert Narcissism Scale, Internalized Shame Scale, and Conspicuous Self-presentation Scale. SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 were used for data analyses including reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, measurement model analysis, structural model analysis, structural equation modeling (to verify the research model), and the Bootstrapping method (to identify mediating effects). The research model demonstrated acceptable goodness of fit. The results indicated that SNS addiction proneness was positively correlated with covert narcissism, internalized shame, and conspicuous self-presentation. The mediating effect of both internalized shame and conspicuous self-presentation were significant in the relationship between covert narcissism and SNS addiction proneness. Implications, limitations and recommendations for future research are presented.
