Objective (s): The aim of this study was to compare empathy components and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in students with and without vulnerable and grandiose narcissistic traits.
Methods: In this cross sectional study, a sample of 90 students was selected using the Pathological Narcissistic Inventory. The Baron-cohen Empathy Quotient Scale and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were also used to collect data. The data were analyzed using MANOVA.
Results: The results showed that both students with grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic traits were significantly different in using 'self-blame and catastrophizing' emotion regulation strategies, comparing to non-narcissistic students. Non-narcissistic student significantly use 'positive appraisal' strategies more than vulnerable students. There was a significant difference in cognitive empathy and emotional reactivity, between grandiose and non-narcissistic students. Vulnerable and grandiose student were significantly different only in cognitive empathy.
Conclusion: The findings provide support for this idea that grandiose and vulnerable narcissism are different expressions of the same pathology, and their expression depends on the individual defensive structure.
