Egos inflating over time: a cross-temporal meta-analysis of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. (2008, background): “Those high in narcissism also lash out with aggression when they are rejected or insulted (Bushman & Baumeister, 1998; Twenge & Campbell, 2003).”
Leader Narcissism Predicts Malicious Envy and Supervisor-Targeted Counterproductive Work Behavior: Evidence from Field and Experimental Research (2018, background): “While narcissists’ emotions have been analyzed (Twenge and Campbell 2003; Penney and Spector 2002), empirical insights into others’ emotions in response to narcissism are missing.”
The Benefits, Costs, and Paradox of Revenge (2010, background): “People high in neuroticism or narcissism easily experience anger and report being more vengeful than those lower in these traits (Brown, 2004; McCann & Biaggio, 1989; McCullough et al., 2001; Twenge & Campbell, 2003).”
Frustration Intolerance Beliefs: Their Relationship with Depression, Anxiety, and Anger, in a Clinical Population (2006, neutral): “This is contrary to recommendations to reduce high self-esteem ( Twenge & Campbell, 2003 ), or increase self-acceptance (e.g., Beck, 1999; Jones & Trower, 2004).”
Gender Differences in Narcissism and Courtship Violence in Dating Couples (2008, background): “Furthermore, in laboratory studies, they show more anger and aggression in response to insult (Baumeister et al. 2000; Bushman and Baumeister 1998) and social rejection (Twenge and Campbell 2003).”
Self-Entitled College Students: Contributions of Personality, Parenting, and Motivational Factors (2008, background): “This anomalous finding might be due to the fact that AE and narcissism are modestly associated (see Study 1), and that college students who score high on AE, like narcissists (see Haugaard 2001; Twenge and Campbell 2003; Wink 1991), have an underlying low and/or unstable sense of self-esteem.”
Two Replicable Suppressor Situations in Personality Research (2004, result): “Several previous studies have found similar patterns, but the pattern was neither predicted nor interpreted (Campbell, Foster, & Finkel, 2002; Paulhus, 1998; Smalley & Stake, 1996; Twenge & Campbell, 2003).”
Why do people need self-esteem? A theoretical and empirical review. (2004, result): “Such an interpretation fits with the subsequent findings of Twenge and Campbell (2003), wherein these aggressive responses were most pronounced among those high in narcissism, whose self-esteem is presumably more unstable.”
WHEN WE NEED A HUMAN: MOTIVATIONAL DETERMINANTS OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (2008, background): “People who are ostracized by another person, for instance, tend to avoid or aggress toward that person (Buckley, Winkel, & Leary, 2004; Twenge & Campbell, 2003) and seek connection from other people (Maner, Dewall, Baumeister, & Schaller, 2007).”
Millennials at Work: What We Know and What We Need to Do (If Anything) (2010, background): “Research shows that people who score higher in narcissism are generally more aggressive toward others when they feel rejected (Twenge and Campbell 2003).”
