Narcissism: Its Impacts on Leadership and Sexuality

Research indicates that individuals with high narcissistic traits tend to be scored higher on competency and capabilities when it relates to leadership (Foster, & Shira 2006). While leadership may be a popular area of research in psychology the literature is not substantial when it comes to its relationship to narcissism. This study investigates whether individuals who indicate higher narcissistic traits also tend to be more effective leaders. Researchers also attempted to determine whether participants tended to be more open to sexuality, as an indicator of participants openness. The interpretation of the results conducted in this study will be further discussed in the following article.
