Pathological Narcissism Level and Its Relation to Inferiority Feelings and
Self-Esteem among Umm Al-Qura University Students

The current study aimed to identify the levels of pathological narcissism,
self-esteem, and inferiority feelings among students at Umm Al-Qura University
and to examin the interrelationships between these variables.

The study sample
consisted of (256) male and female students from different faculties, educational
levels, and academic performance.

To achieve the study goals; the researcher
used three scales: pathological narcissism scale (Jodeh, 2012), Rosenberg self
esteem scale for adults, and the Arabic translated version of inferiority feelings
scale and she tested validities and reliabilities of these scales.

The results
showed that; there were low levels of pathological narcissism and inferiority
feelings and high level of pathological narcissism and self-esteem.

There were
significant correlations between study variables.

The correlation coefficient
between pathological narcissism and self-esteem was negative (r = -0.32, p <
0.01), in the other hand, pathological narcissism and inferiority feelings was
positive (r = 0.58, p < 0.01), and finally, self-esteem and inferiority feelings was
negative (r = -0.63, p < 0.01).

The results indicated that; males report being
more pathological narcissistic and less inferiority feelings than females.

Gender
did not affect self-steem and variables of faculties, educational levels, and
academic performance did not affect all the dependent variables.

In light of the
results the researcher presented some recommendations.
