• Resumen

  • We investigated narcissism as a moderator of social loafing on a physical performance task. High and low narcissistic individuals twice performed a cycling task in same-sex teams of three: once when identifiability was low; and once when identifiability was high. A significant interaction between narcissism and identifiability was revealed, F(1, 40) = 4.09, p < .05, ç2 = .09 for performance. Follow-up tests indicated that high narcissists� performance significantly increased with greater identifiability, whereas low narcissists displayed no such performance differences. Results suggested that this effect was due to an increase in narcissists� on-task effort (ratings of perceived exertion and heart rate) when they knew that their performance was to be identified
