Introduction
Narcissistic personality disorder influences rela-
tionships and beliefs in different life spheres.
Objective
We aimed to measure narcissism among Bulgarian
adults by establishing validity of two scales measuring narcissism,
specifying some social and demographic factors and differentiating
narcissistic features.
Method
One hundred and thirty-four Bulgarians (17–62 years
old, M= 31; SD = 11) were examined with two scales measuring
narcissism. Higher score on Narcissistic personality disorder scale
from the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4 correlated posi-
tively (
r
= .346;
P
< .001) with higher score on A. T. Beck and J. S.
Beck’s scale measuring Narcissistic beliefs from Personality Belief
Questionnaire that indicated their validity.
Results
No significant gender differences in narcissism were
found, with female participants prevailing in the sample (
n
= 118).

the belief of being a special person (70.8%) and to the perceptions of
other people as being envy of one’s personality–own achievements
(60.9%).
Conclusions
Narcissistic personality disorder is rare in the stud-
ied Bulgarian adult population – 4.5% of the subjects (
n
= 6) had
the highest levels of narcissism on both scales that corresponded
to the proportion of 6% prevalence of lifetime narcissism in USA,
according to Stinson et al.

Introduction
H&F Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale is a
widely used measure of perfectionism developed to measure Self-
oriented perfectionism (SOP), Socially-prescribed perfectionism
(SPP) and Other-oriented perfectionism (OOP) dimensions. The
original scale comprises 45-likert items. We have previously devel-
oped a short version of The H&F-MPS, with 13 items, showing
adequate validity in a sample of university students, using principal
component analyses method with factors varimax rotation.
Objective
To examine the factor structure of theH&F-MPS13with
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), using a different sample of Por-
tuguese university students.
Methods
The sample comprises 245 university students (68.9%
females), with a
mean
age of 20.95 years (
SD =
2.19;
range =
17–33)
who completed the H&F-MPS13. CFA was used to test the model
suggested by prior exploratory factor analyses of H&F-MPS13.
Results
After correlated errors, we obtained a good fit for the
second-order factor (

able internal consistency (

presented Cronbach’s alphas ranging between acceptable and good
(

Conclusions
The H&F-MPS13 obtained through CFA is a reliable
and valid measure to assess perfectionism in Portuguese university
students.

Aim
The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship
between personality traits and mental health in athlete students.
This study was a descriptive and correlation design.
Method
Sixty athletes students were randomly selected and
responded to NEO-PIR inventory and General Health Questionnaire
(GHQ 28). NEO assesses five personality traits: Neuroticism (N),
Extroversion (E), Agreeableness (A), Openness to new experience
(O) and Conscientiousness (C), and GHQ assesses four dimen-
sions: Somatic symptoms (A), Anxiety (B), Social withdrawal (C)
and Depression (D). NEO assesses five personality traits: Neuroti-
cism, Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness to
experience. The data were analyzed with Pearson correlation test.
Results
The findings showed that there was positive signifi-
cant correlation between neuroticism with somatic symptoms
and depression, and negative significant correlation between
extroversion, agreeableness, openness to new experience and con-
scientiousness with depression.
Conclusion
Based on findings, it is concluded that physical exer-
cises and sport plans have positive effects on mood and affect of
students, and decrease physical and mental diseases in athletes
students.
