Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between memory and attention functions and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) characteristics in a non-clinical sample of young adult university students. Using standardized assessments, the study found that poorer associative memory and better verbal list learning significantly predicted NPD traits, even after controlling for IQ, while divided attention was not a significant predictor when IQ was accounted for. These findings suggest a distinct cognitive profile associated with NPD, characterized by enhanced verbal learning alongside deficits in associative memory. The results contribute to understanding the cognitive underpinnings of NPD and may have implications for developing targeted interventions.
