The present study examined whether vulnerable narcissism\u2014particularly narcissistic self\u2010centeredness\u2014helps explain heterogeneity in the SA\u2013aggression association. Chinese university students (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009872) completed measures of SA (Social Interaction Anxiety Scale; Social Phobia Scale), vulnerable narcissism (Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale; self\u2010centeredness and rejection sensitivity), and proactive\/reactive aggression (Reactive\u2013Proactive Aggression Questionnaire). Latent profile analysis using the two SA indicators and the two vulnerable\u2010narcissism facets identified seven profiles. A high\u2010SA\/high\u2010vulnerable\u2010narcissism profile (\u201cVulnerable\u2010Defensive\u201d; 9.9% of the sample) reported aggression levels in the highest tier across all three aggression indices, together with a Moderate\u2010SA\/Moderate\u2010VN profile (Class 5; 23.9%) and a High\u2010SA\/Low\u2010VN profile (Class 6; 6.3%). Planned contrasts showed that, despite both profiles occupying the highest SA tier, the Vulnerable\u2010Defensive profile\u2014which additionally scored substantially higher on self\u2010centeredness\u2014reported higher reactive aggression (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.32) and total aggression (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.34) than a high\u2010SA\/low\u2010vulnerable\u2010narcissism profile. Complementary moderated regressions indicated that self\u2010centeredness modestly strengthened the association between SA and proactive aggression (interaction\n                    <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.095,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.032;\n                    <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n                    =\u20090.005) but not reactive aggression. These results suggest that SA is not uniformly associated with aggression; narcissistic self\u2010centeredness helps differentiate high\u2010SA individuals who are at heightened risk for aggressive responding.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ab.70069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T13:08:04Z","timestamp":1779800884000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Aggression in Social Anxiety: Narcissistic Self\u2010Centeredness as a Differentiator in Person\u2010Centered and Variable\u2010Centered Analyses"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Reyihangu","family":"Tuerxun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Learning and Cognition and School of Psychology Capital Normal University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Learning and Cognition and School of Psychology Capital Normal University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5963-6669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lixia","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Learning and Cognition and School of Psychology Capital Normal University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions","author":"Aiken L.
