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.
