Abstract

The research had as primary objective to analyze the psychometric properties and the adequacy of the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ) in a non-probability sample of college students (N = 159; 74 % women) from a private university in Caracas (Venezuela). Through a snowball procedure, the data were collected via application of an online questionnaire. Using an exploratory factor analysis, the proposed factorial solution was obtained; also, significant correlations were found between admiration and rivalry with self-esteem, extraversion, openness and agreeableness, just as stated in the literature. The NARQ presents evidence of validity and reliability, and therefore its use could be recommended in the Venezuelan population.
