Shared and Unique Dimensions of Antisocial and Narcissistic Personality Disorders: a Trait-Based Analysis

EasyChair Preprint 15762

Abstract

The study investigates the relationship between Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) through the lens of personality traits, using the Deenz Antisocial Personality Scale (DAPS-24) and the Deenz Narcissistic Personality Scale (DNPS-32). ASPD and NPD share overlapping features, such as impulsivity, manipulativeness, and lack of empathy, but also differ in key aspects like grandiosity and emotional regulation. The research aims to identify correlations between specific personality traits, such as agreeableness and neuroticism, and these disorders. Data collected from 43 participants revealed significant overlaps in traits like hostility, distrust, and lack of empathy, with important distinctions in dimensions such as impulsivity and self-aggrandizement. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the shared and unique features of ASPD and NPD, offering insights for both diagnostic precision and therapeutic intervention.
