The short form of the five-factor narcissism inventory: Psychometric equivalence of the Turkish version

Abstract

This study intends to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the short form of the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory (FFNI-SF). The study group consists of a total of 526 university students (54% were female) whose ages range from 18 to 32. In the translational equivalence study made over a two-week interval, the FFNI-SF scores showed high consistency. Cronbach’s alpha was found to be.87 for the total score, and the alphas for the FFNI-SF subscales ranged from.57 to.79. Corrected item-subscale correlations for the items ranged from.22 to.73. Confirmatory factor analysis results have shown that among the three competing models derived from the conceptual models, Model 1 with 15 factors had the best goodness-of-fit to the data, □2 = 3851.48, df = 1605, □2/sd = 2.40, RMSEA =.057, AGFI =.74, GFI = .77, CFI =.77, NNFI =.75. The correlation of total scores from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) and FFNI-SF was.65, p
