一些理论家主张区分显性自恋和隐性自恋，并且因素分析研究也支持了这种区别。在本文中，我证明了公开自恋者的自尊心较高，对生活的满意度较高，而隐蔽自恋者的自尊心较低，对生活的满意度较低。我还提出了中介模型来解释为什么公开自恋者相对快乐而隐性自恋者相对不快乐。在使用偏相关和结构方程模型的分析中，自尊始终介导两种类型的自恋和幸福之间的关联，而自欺则不然。这些结果进一步证明了与公开自恋相关的一些以自我为中心的好处以及与隐蔽自恋相关的一些强烈的心理成本。
Several theorists have argued in favor of a distinction between overt and covert narcissism, and factor analytic studies have supported this distinction. In this paper I demonstrate that overt narcissists report higher self-esteem and higher satisfaction with life, whereas covert narcissists report lower self-esteem and lower satisfaction with life. I also present mediational models to explain why overt narcissists are relatively happy and covert narcissists are relatively unhappy. In analyses using both partial correlations and structural equation modeling, self-esteem consistently mediated the associations between both types of narcissism and happiness, whereas self-deception did not. These results further demonstrate some of the self-centered benefits associated with overt narcissism and some of the strong psychological costs associated with covert narcissism.
