“The Pathological Narcissism Inventory: Measurement invariance across Serbian and USA samples and further validation”: Correction to Dinić & Vujić, 2020.

Reports an error in "The Pathological Narcissism Inventory: Measurement invariance across Serbian and USA samples and further validation" by Bojana M. Dinić and Aleksandar Vujić (European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2020, Vol 36[4], 670-680). In the article, the Table 2 Notes on p. 673 contain some mistakes. The correct Table Notes are present in the erratum. The authors regret any inconvenience or confusion this error might have caused. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2019-54255-001.) The aim of this research was to explore measurement invariance across samples from Serbia and the USA (Study 1) and to further validate the Serbian adaptation of the Pathological Narcissism Inventory—PNI (Study 2). The results supported the original seven-factor first-order structure as well as the hierarchical structure of the PNI with Narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability as the second-order factors. Further, scalar invariance between the two versions of the PNI was achieved. Relations between Narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability and other measures of grandiose and hypersensitive narcissism supported the validity of their scores. Among HEXACO traits, both Narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability showed substantial negative correlations with Honesty-Humility. The main distinctions between the two aspects of narcissism lie in the positive relations with Neuroticism and negative relations with self-esteem, both of which are higher for ...
