Abstract

This study investigated the correlations and transactions between narcissistic states—narcissistic agency, antagonism, and vulnerability—and situation perceptions using the DIAMONDS framework. Participants (N = 183) engaged in weekly online group discussions over six weeks, simulating a natural acquaintance process. Results showed significant correlations: Situation perceptions of Positivity related to heightened narcissistic agency, while Duty and Negativity perceptions were linked to narcissistic antagonism and vulnerability. A Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model revealed person-situation transactions, with situation perceptions often preceding changes in narcissistic states. For example, perceptions of Intellect and Positivity increased narcissistic agency, while Intellect, Duty, and Negativity triggered higher-than-usual narcissistic antagonism. Findings highlight the role of situation perceptions in shaping narcissistic state variability.
