Previous studies have revealed that narcissism was positively related to self-esteem. Given that narcissism was related to negative interpersonal features such as exploitativeness and aggression, however, a negative relation between narcissism and self-esteem was predicted. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the relations between factors of narcissism and self-esteem. This study targeted the correlations between four subscales of Narcissistic Personality Inventory (Emmons, 1984) and self-esteem. A total of fourteen studies were collected via comprehensive literature review. The results showed that while the estimated population correlations between Leadership/Authority, Superiority/Arrogance, and Self-Absorption/Self-Admiration and self-esteem was positive, the population correlation between Exploitativeness/Entitlement and narcissism was nearly zero. Path analyses revealed that Exploitativeness/Entitlement negatively predicted self-esteem and other three subscales of narcissism positively predicted self-esteem. The different functions of factors of narcissism are discussed.
