Personality traits and exercise dependence: Exploring the role of narcissism and perfectionism (2014, methodology): “The NPI has been shown to have excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach alpha of .83 (Del Rosario & White, 2005).”
Narcissism and Empathy in Young Offenders and Non–Offenders (2014, result): “The subscales’ low internal consistencies are congruent with past research, but they show good construct validity and test-retest reliability (Raskin and Terry, 1988; del Rosario and White, 2005).”
Pathological narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. (2010, background): “Unfortunately, no NPI subscales based on these factor solutions exhibit acceptable levels of internal consistency (del Rosario & White 2005), and thus most recent studies employ only the NPI total score or the recent shortened version (NPI-16; Ames et al. 2006).”
Is research using the narcissistic personality inventory relevant for understanding narcissistic personality disorder (2009, background): “Others have focused on psychometric concerns regarding the internal consistency of the NPI subscales, as well as the underlying factor structure (del Rosario & White, 2005; Kubarych, Deary, & Austin, 2004).”
Narcissism at the crossroads: phenotypic description of pathological narcissism across clinical theory, social/personality psychology, and psychiatric diagnosis. (2008, methodology): “Since 1985, the NPI was used as the main or only measure of narcissistic traits in approximately 77% of social/personality research on narcissism (see also del Rosario & White, 2005).”
Are there such things as “Narcissists” in social psychology? A taxometric analysis of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (2007, methodology): “The NPI has now been used in well over 100 investigations, has proven to be a reliable and valid assessment of narcissism as it occurs in the general population (del Rosario & White, 2005; Raskin & Terry, 1988), and is the primary measure of narcissism in the social psychological literature.”
