Relative effects of Big Five traits and mindset on malignant self-regard.

In this study, we examined the relative effects of Big Five traits and mindset on MSR using a Bayesian approach to multiple linear regression. We found that Neuroticism is the primary predictor of MSR but mindset about personality (i.e., the belief that one can change one’s personality with effort) has an incremental influence over and above Neuroticism and other Big Five traits. These findings contribute to the growing research base on MSR and have implications for future psychodynamically oriented research and clinical intervention.
