Four studies tested the associations of grandiose narcissism to the measures and meanings of psychological richness, subjective-well-being, and meaning in life. Using established scales, narcissism uniquely predicted higher psychological richness in 2 independent samples (Study 1, n’s = 297, 296). Using conceptual descriptions, narcissism related similarly to the three types of positive functioning (Study 2, N = 841). In experiments, participants evaluated the narcissism of targets high (versus low) on each form of positive functioning when manipulations used questionnaire items (Study 3, N = 1018) or conceptual descriptions (Study 4, N = 1001). For subjective well-being and meaning in life manipulations produced similar results. However, using questionnaire items, high psychological richness enhanced perceived narcissism while conceptual descriptions reduced it.
