Introduction: This project was aimed to examine the strenght of relationships between communal-agentic narcissism (both individual-level and collective-level) and self-esteem (individual, relational and collective) in different cultures (individualistic vs collectivistic). Additionally nomological network of narcissism was examined (psychological entitlement, entitlement attitudes, personality traits, Dark Triad). In the project participated over 50 countries.

Results:
-
Communal collective narcissism is present in all studied cultures, with metric levels of invariance for CCNI
-
Communal collective narcissism and collective narcissism are distinguished within national samples but form one dimension on cultural level of analysis
-
