title: [Validity of the Narcissism Inventory (Denecke and Hilgenstock)].
abstract: For investigating the validity of the Narzissmusinventar 27 somatic and psychic healthy men aged between 30 and 45 were tested with the Narzissmusinventar, the Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Aggressivitätsfaktoren, the State-Trait-Angstinventar and the Fragebogen zur Messung der Kontrollambitionen. Moreover a structured interview for the evaluation of type A behavior was administered. Correlative statistical analyses showed in the sense of construct validity that the dimension of the "bedrohtes Selbst" ("threatened self") is characterized by anxiety, feelings of insufficiency and aggression. The other subscales of the Narzissmusinventar correlate only with a few variables of the other tests and the speaking behavior. These subscales evaluate the narcissistic personality traits which the other instruments we used in our investigation are not able to reflect.
