Abstract

Personality traits largely determine differences in behaviour and attitudes among individuals. Vulnerable narcissism, a sub-dimension of narcissistic personality disorder, is characterised by excessive vulnerability in response to perceived criticism and rejection due to low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Narcissistic expectations play a significant role in the decision to choose teaching as a profession. Therefore, examining the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and personality traits through teachers may yield different results from the existing literature. The purpose of this research is to examine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between personality traits and the levels of vulnerable narcissism. The research was designed as a cross-sectional study in a quantitative correlational design. The research sample comprises 306 teachers from public schools in Kastamonu. The ten-item personality inventory, vulnerable narcissism scale, and emotion regulation scale were used to collect data. The study's findings revealed that emotion regulation mediates the relationship between personality traits and vulnerable narcissism, and emotion regulation is a predictor of this relationship. The results indicate that emotion regulation mediates the positive association between personality traits and vulnerable narcissism levels. It was understood that the narcissistic levels of the participants were weakened to the extent that they could regulate their emotions.
