The aim of this study was to compare aggression and interpersonal problems in students with and without vulnerable and grandiose narcissistic traits. In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 90 students was selected using Pathological Narcissistic Inventory. Aggression Questionare (AQ) and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using MANOVA. The results showed that students with narcissistic traits report more aggression and interpersonal problems except in verbal aggression. These results show that grandiose and vulnerable narcissism are different self-states of the same pathology and emphasize vulnerability symptoms in DSM criteria for NPD.
