Özet
In sport, individuals high in narcissism excel when opportunities for personal glory are evident. However, when there is no such opportunity, the detrimental effect of narcissism is less known. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effect of narcissism as a personality factor on the endurance performance task. Participants' narcissism was measured with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory -16. Participants' psychophysiological measures such as heart rate and heart rate variability were also obtained throughout the experiment. The final sample comprised 42 male basketball players (M-age=22.60; SD=1.70; M-experience (in years) = 8.45; SD=2.45). All participants twice performed a multistage 20-meter shuttle run test in two occasions first when identifiability was low and second when identifiability was high. The significant Narcissism x Performance interaction illustrates those narcissistic experienced significantly greater decreases in performance from high- to low-identifiability performance conditions, whereas others displayed no such performance differences. These results support the hypotheses that narcissists performed better when there was a chance for glory and socially loafed when no such opportunity was available. In conclusion, the present study provides a sound basis foundation for future sport-related studies on which to explore narcissism as individual differences in the competitive environment for team sports such as basketball.
