- Abstract
- This study examines the psychometric structure and properties of the Swedish version of the Super-Brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory (SB-PNI) among adolescents. In order to ensure the validity and feasibility of the measure, we examined
the factor structure, measurement invariance across gender, age and ethnicity, and construct validity in relation to a number
of correlates of narcissism in adolescence. Data were drawn from a large cross-sectional survey conducted in 35 schools in
southern Sweden. The sample consisted of N=5313 adolescents (Mage=16.10 SD=1.55) with 52.2% girls, 45.9% boys
and 1.8% adolescents with unspecifed gender, from compulsory and upper secondary schools in southern Sweden. The

results showed that the measure holds a two-factor structure, suggesting the use of the subscales grandiosity and vulnerability separately, rather than as a unidimensional measure. The correlated factors grandiosity and vulnerability yielded full
confgural and metric invariance across gender, age, and ethnicity. Both grandiosity and vulnerability were correlated with
externalizing and internalizing symptoms, as well as with low self-esteem. The study provides evidence for the utility of
the SB-PNI among Swedish adolescents and indicates that the measure can be used across male and female adolescents of
different ages and ethnic groups (Less)
