Abstract

When given opportunities for personal glory in individual settings, people high in narcissism excel. However, less is known about narcissists' influence in team contexts. Across two studies (utilizing cross-sectional and two-wave longitudinal designs) involving 706 athletes from 68 teams in total, we tested a conceptual model linking narcissism to task cohesion, via intragroup conflict, moderated by narcissistic group composition. We tested a new sports-oriented measure of intragroup conflict using Bayesian estimation and evaluated our theorizing using a multilevel conditional indirect effect hybrid model. Across both studies, we found that narcissism influenced perceptions of task cohesion via process conflict only, with a negative influence at low narcissistic group composition that was weakened (Study 1) or nullified (Study 2) at high narcissistic team composition. Collectively, these findings offer the first example of how narcissism influences task cohesion in team settings and the contextual effects of narcissistic group composition.

中国商店里的公牛:自恋、团队内部冲突和任务凝聚力。

当有机会在个人环境中获得个人荣誉时，自恋程度高的人会表现出色。然而，人们对自恋者在团队环境中的影响知之甚少。通过两项研究(利用横断面和两波纵向设计)，我们测试了一个概念模型，该模型涉及来自68个团队的706名运动员，通过自恋群体构成调节的团队内部冲突，将自恋与任务凝聚力联系起来。我们使用贝叶斯估计测试了一种新的以体育为导向的群体冲突测量方法，并使用多层条件间接效应混合模型评估了我们的理论。在这两项研究中，我们发现自恋只通过过程冲突影响任务凝聚力的感知，在低自恋团队组成中，这种负面影响被削弱(研究1)或在高自恋团队组成中被消除(研究2)。总的来说，这些发现提供了自恋如何影响团队环境中的任务凝聚力以及自恋群体构成的情境效应的第一个例子。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
