abstract="This study investigated the hypothesis that narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory Short Version (NPI-S), the Self-monitoring Scale (SM), and the Risk-taking Behavior Scale for Undergraduates (RIBS-U) were administered to 192 university and graduate students. There were three NPI-S factors (&quot;sense of superiority and competence&quot;, &quot;need for attention and praise&quot;, and &quot;self-assertion&quot;), two SM factors (&quot;extraversion&quot; and &quot;other-directedness&quot;), and the single risk-taking factor of the RIBS-U. Covariance structure analysis was then conducted to test whether narcissistic personality traits would affect risk-taking behaviors through self-monitoring. Analysis showed that the factors of &quot;sense of superiority and competence&quot; and &quot;need for attention and praise&quot; affected risk-taking behavior through the &quot;other-directedness&quot; factor. However, the &quot;self-assertion&quot; factor was found to have a direct effect on risk-taking behavior.<p /><p>Language: ja</p>",
