Abstract
The study investigated the influence negative self-portrayal and depersonalization on narcissism among undergraduates. One hundred and eighty five (185) undergraduates consisting of85 females and 100 males were randomly selected from two tertiary institutions in AkwaIbom State namely University of Uyo, Uyo and AkwaIbom State University, Abak Campus. Their age range from 16 – 45 and their mean age was 38.5. A cross sectional design was adopted for the study. Three instruments were used in the study: Negative Self-portrayal Scale (NSPS) developed by Moscovitch and Hyyder[1], Adolescent Dissociative Experience Scale (ADES) developed by Armstrong, Putamen, Carlson, Libero& Smith in 2006 and Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) developed by Ames, Rose and Anderson [2]. A two way Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the data. The result showed that there was no significant influence of depersonalization on narcissism [F (1, 185) = 2. 75, p > .05]. The result also revealed that there was no significant influence of negative self-portrayal on narcissism [F (1, 185) = 1.10, p > .05]. The result also revealed that there was no interaction influence between negative self-portrayal and depersonalization on narcissism among undergraduates. It was therefore concluded that negative self-portrayal and depersonalization have no noticeable influence on narcissistic personality of undergraduates and as such are not predictors of narcissism. The results were discussed in-line with empirical findings and implications and recommendations for future study were made
