<p>The study explores the relation of narcissism to political orientation
and their association with basic human values, using an undergraduate sample
from Turkey. Leftwing orientation is weakly and negatively correlated with
narcissism, and specifically with its self-sufficiency dimension. Leftwing is
correlated positively with universalism and negatively with tradition. Narcissism
is positively correlated with the self-enhancement and openness to change
dimensions and negatively correlated with the self-transcendence and
conservatism dimensions of the basic values. Hierarchical regression results
indicate that the value tradition is a stronger predictor of political
orientation than narcissism. In multinomial logistic regression, for
narcissism, statistical significance appears for only extreme right compared to
moderate left political positions. We
did not find power-hunger to be related to political orientation. We did
not find pro-sociality to be related to familial-religious customs. We did not find any sex difference for mean
narcissism scores. However, females are more leftwing oriented than males and
they report more eagerness to strive for justice for others. Striving for
justice for others is negatively correlated with the value power; positively
correlated with leftwing orientation and striving for justice for self; and uncorrelated
with narcissism. Males have higher mean scores for the value tradition and
females have higher mean scores for the value security.</p>
