Status pursuit has been emphasized as a key motivational factor underlying narcissism, but research has just begun to unravel the processes by which more narcissistic individuals pursue status in their everyday social interactions. In this article, we combine process models of narcissistic status pursuit with three-factor models of narcissism to test whether different aspects of narcissism (i.e., agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism) can be characterized by stronger reactivity to different kinds of status perceptions (i.e., the perceived assignment of status, attack on status, and neglect of status). Using data from two experience sampling studies, one involving college students (Nparticipants = 285; Nobservations = 18,036) and one in the general population (Nparticipants = 1,177; Nobservations = 36,074), we first found that the perceived assignment of status, attack on status, and neglect of status were related to status-relevant behaviors (i.e., expressive, combative, and avoidant behaviors) and emotions (e.g., pride, anger, and shame) within persons on average. Next, we found that both mean levels of perceptual, behavioral, and emotional states and status contingencies (i.e., the within-person relationships of status perceptions with behavioral and emotional states) varied considerably across individuals and that these individual differences were reliable and stable across time. Last, we found some associations between trait levels of agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism and individual differences in mean levels as well as status-emotion contingencies. Our findings emphasize the multifaceted and status-driven nature of narcissism and support the use of theoretically derived contingencies as more dynamic aspects of personality.

日常社会生活中的自恋地位追求：自恋行为和情感动态的人内过程方法。

地位追求被强调为自恋背后的一个关键动机因素，但研究才刚刚开始揭示更多自恋者在日常社交互动中追求地位的过程。在本文中，我们将自恋地位追求的过程模型与自恋的三因素模型结合起来，以测试自恋的不同方面（即代理性、对抗性和神经质自恋）是否可以通过对不同类型的地位感知更强的反应来表征。即感知到的地位分配、对地位的攻击和对地位的忽视）。使用两项经验抽样研究的数据，一项涉及大学生（Nparticipants = 285；Nobservations = 18,036），另一项涉及普通人群（Nparticipants = 1,177；Nobservations = 36,074），我们首先发现感知的地位分配、对地位的攻击平均而言，对地位的忽视与地位相关的行为（即表达、好斗和回避行为）和情绪（例如骄傲、愤怒和羞耻）有关。接下来，我们发现，感知、行为和情绪状态以及状态偶然事件（即状态感知与行为和情绪状态的内部关系）的平均水平在个体之间差异很大，并且这些个体差异在不同个体之间是可靠和稳定的。时间。最后，我们发现了代理性、对抗性和神经质自恋的特征水平与平均水平以及状态情绪偶然事件的个体差异之间的一些关联。我们的研究结果强调了自恋的多方面性和地位驱动的本质，并支持使用理论上衍生的偶然事件作为人格的更动态的方面。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
