Disentangling the contributions of agentic, antagonistic, and neurotic narcissism to drive for thinness and drive for muscularity.

Body image concerns revolving around body ideals (thin ideal, muscular ideal) are widespread among women. Whereas a stronger preoccupation with ideal physical appearance is often assumed for narcissistic women, previous empirical findings have been mixed. Following a tripartite structure of agentic,...
