在第一项研究中，我们管理的40项自恋人格问卷（NPI;拉斯金特里，1988）的843名女性和843名男性大学生，其中大多数是欧美，全面评估NPI的因素结构，采用验证性因素分析。初步探索性的共同因素分析（N = 724）揭示了一个2因素模型（领导/权威和表现/权利）。随后，我们在一个单独的样本（N = 724）中使用验证性因素分析来评估Emmons（1987）4因素模型，Raskin和Terry（1988）7因素模型，Kubarych，Deary和Austin（2004）2和3因素模型以及我们的2因素模型。最后，我们通过将量表得分与人格的五因素模型在一个独立样本（N = 238）中进行相关性分析来评估结构效度。我们在本研究中和Kubarych等人（2004）获得的NPI的双因素模型似乎是最简约的模型，与数据拟合良好，内部一致性值令人满意;因此建议使用它们。然而，需要进行更多的新产品介绍研究，以重新调整、修改或省略几个新产品介绍项目，并开发性别平等项目。
In the first study, we administered the 40-item Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin Terry, 1988) to 843 female and 843 male college students, most of whom were Euro-American, to comprehensively assess the NPI factor structure using confirmatory factor analysis. Initial exploratory common factor analyses (N = 724) revealed a 2-factor model (Leadership/Authority and Exhibitionism/Entitlement). Subsequently, we used confirmatory factor analysis in a separate sample (N = 724) to evaluate the Emmons (1987) 4-factor model, the Raskin and Terry (1988) 7-factor model, the Kubarych, Deary, and Austin (2004) 2- and 3-factor models, and our 2-factor model. Finally, we assessed construct validity by correlating the scale scores with the Five-factor model of personality in an independent sample (N = 238). The 2-factor models for the NPI we obtained in this study and by Kubarych et al. (2004) appeared to be the most parsimonious models, with both a good fit to the data and satisfactory internal consistency values; so they are recommended for use. However, additional NPI research is needed to rescale, modify, or omit several NPI items and develop gender-equivalent items.
