Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ-S)

Short Description: Our SOEP-IS module is concerned with the investigation of narcissism, its development and interpersonal, intrapersonal, and institutional consequences. Including a theoretically sound, reliable, and efficient measure of narcissism (NARQ-S) enables researchers to investigate a variety of focal research questions with wide-ranging implications on individual, social, and societal levels.

Methodological Details: Six self-report items, e.g., “I manage to be the center of attention with my outstanding contributions.” and “I deserve to be seen as a great personality.”
