Yet the degree to which various widely used self-report measures of psychopathy include relevant narcissistic content has not been evaluated, especially in relation to new, multidimensional models of narcissism. Using a large undergraduate sample ( N = 432) and self- and informant-ratings of narcissism, the present study examined narcissism\u2019s instantiation in several commonly used self-report psychopathy measures. A modern conceptualization of narcissism at three levels of hierarchical organization (i.e., Trifurcated Model of Narcissism) was applied to comprehensively evaluate narcissism\u2019s instantiation in these psychopathy measures. Although narcissistic traits related to self-centered antagonism were well-instantiated across psychopathy self-report measures, narcissistic traits related to agentic extraversion were represented more modestly by most (i.e., Triarchic Psychopathy Measure, Self-Report Psychopathy Scale: Version III, Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale), but not all (i.e., Elemental Psychopathy Assessment [EPA]) psychopathy measures. Only the EPA contained substantial representation of all narcissism components. Given the theoretical and empirical overlap between psychopathy and narcissism, it behooves researchers to be aware of the degree to which psychopathy measures capture narcissistic content.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1073191120916797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]],"date-time":"2020-12-29T02:40:16Z","timestamp":1609209616000},"page":"15-28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Evaluating the Instantiation of Narcissism Components in Contemporary Measures of Psychopathy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2989-2981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brandon","family":"Weiss","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8769-3529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chelsea E.","family":"Sleep","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donald R.","family":"Lynam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1280-2863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua D.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1073191120916797","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anderson J., Snider S., Sellbom M., Krueger R., Hopwood C.
