Entrepreneurship and leadership: common trends and common threads (2003, background): “As suggested by Baumeister et al. (2000), the dangerous aspects of narcissism lie not so much with simple vanity or high self-esteem per se, as with the inflated sense of being superior to others and, therefore, entitled to privileges that allow reprisals against perceived threats to self-image.”
SELF-ESTEEM AND SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING AS PREDICTORS OF AGGRESSION IN COLLEGE STUDENTS (2003, result): “These findings replicate the results of Buss and Perry (1992) and may help to explain the negative results in studies that focused only on measures of physical aggression or violence (e.g., Bushman & Baumeister, 1998; Baumeister et al., 2000).”
Narcissism and displaced aggression: Effects of positive, negative, and delayed feedback (2008, methodology): “As studies have found links between narcissism and self-esteem (Baumeister et al., 2000; Bushman & Baumeister, 1998), we included this measure to use as a covariate.”
A Motivational Model of Driving Anger and Aggression (2002, neutral): “These findings are consistent with previous research suggesting that aggression often stems from emotional reactivity (Caprara et al., 1994), perceived threats to self-esteem (Baumeister et al., 2000), and social identity (Tedeschi & Felson, 1994).”

(Baumeister & Boden, 1998; Baumeister, Bushman, & Campbell, 2000) conclude that SE per se is unrelated to aggression, arguing instead for a model of aggression involving ego threat and narcissism. Alternatively, Kirkpatrick, Waugh, V”
Unraveling respect in organization studies (2014, background): “In the face of failures based on ability – underscored by low appraisal respect – those with low implicit and high explicit self-esteem react more harshly, act out with aggression, and attribute external causes for the failure (Baumeister et al., 2000; Kernis et al., 2008a).”
Gender Differences in Narcissism and Courtship Violence in Dating Couples (2008, background): “In addition, it may be likely that men who are hypersensitive to criticism might be more likely to be violence-prone in their relationships, if it is true that violence is a result of threatened egotism (Baumeister et al. 2000).”
