title: [Narcissism self-expression - the generation me?].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A self-report questionnaire to assess conflict was created from the conflict axis of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (Arbeitskreis OPD-2 2006; Arbeitskreis OPD-KJ-2 2013).
  
  
  METHODS
  In a paper-pencil test we compared a sample of 501 assumed healthy teenagers of between 12 and 17 years, a sample of 31 adolescent psychosomatic inpatients, and a sample of 20 adolescents psychiatric inpatients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found significant sex and age differences concerning narcissistic self-expression. Significant differences between the three groups as well as significant correlations with common clinical instruments (BSI,IPO, IIP) revealed narcissistic self-expression to be problematic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The questionnaire demonstrated a high level of reliability.Narcissistic self-expression is higher in the healthy control group, for male adolescents and older adolescents. There is, however, a significant correlation with psychological symptoms and interpersonal problems.
