Narcissism and relationship satisfaction: The impact of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism on relationship duration

The present study investigates relationship satisfaction of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in short- and long-term relationships. Participants include 164 Texas Woman’s University students. The participants are asked to complete an online survey first gathering demographics and then measuring for grandiose and vulnerable narcissism characteristics. The survey also measures relationship satisfaction and the relationship duration they prefer. A Pearson correlation and regression analyses was conducted to test all of the hypotheses. The results of the study did not support the hypotheses. Overall narcissism, grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, nor did their interactions with relationship duration preference, did not have a significant positive or negative effect on relationship satisfaction.
