"The Relationship Between White Racial Identity and Narcissism"
By MM Corbett. This study explored the question of whether racial characteristics are a significant psychological or mental health issue (i.e., whether race "matters") for White Americans. Relationships were examined between White racial identity development (WRID; Helms, 1984, 1990) and self-reported healthy and defensive narcissism (Kohut, 1971, 1977, 1984) in a sample of 216 (121 women, 95 men) White university students.
