Does entitlement appear to mediate effects of narcissism

Reference no: EM131322733

Data show that narcissistic people (who have a grandiose, inflated perception of themselves) often fly into a "narcissistic rage" when things don't go their way. (In other words, they throw a temper tantrum.) A researcher hypothesized that this reaction occurs because narcissists think they are entitled to be treated special.

Thus, she measured narcissism, the tendency to fly into a rage when frustrated by other people, and the degree to which people feel entitled to be treated well. Her data showed that narcissism by itself accounted for 24% of the variance in rage. She then conducted a hierarchical regression analysis in which she tested whether entitlement mediates the relationship between narcissism and rage.

After entitlement was entered in Step 1 of the regression equation, entitlement accounted for 3% of the variance in rage when it was entered in Step 2. Does entitlement appear to mediate the effects of narcissism on rage? Why or why not?
