2.3. Measures
-
Grandiose Narcissism (Cronbach α = 0.73) was measured by using the 16-items Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI 16) [33,34], which included respondents’ grandiose traits of narcissism in terms of superiority, self-absorption, and entitlement. Each item was answered with a “yes” (1) or “no” (0). The total number of “yes” answers was used for the analysis.
-
Vulnerable Narcissism (Cronbach α = 0.75) was measured by using Hendin and Cheek’s [15] 10-item Hyper-Sensitive Narcissism Scale (e.g., “My feelings are easily hurt by the slighting remarks of others”) on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very uncharacteristic or untrue, and 5 = very characteristic or true) and a well-validated and reliable measure for vulnerable narcissism [5,27,35].
-
Donation Information Openness (Cronbach α = 0.96) was measured by using three items (e.g., “My donation behavior will be open to others”, “My donation behavior will be known to my acquaintances”). The items were modified based on a subscale of “public prosocial behavior” in the Prosocial Tendencies Measure [36].
-
Donation Intention (Cronbach’s α = 0.92) was measured by using three items (e.g., “I will donate some money for people with disabilities at the charitable event”) [12].
-
Self-esteem (control variable) (Cronbach’s α = 0.89) was measured by using 10 items (e.g., “On the whole, I am satisfied with myself”) [31].
-
Involvement (control variable) (Cronbach’s α = 0.91) was measured by using five items (e.g., “Disabled person welfare is important/valuable/relevant/means a lot/involving to me”) [32].
-
Gender was dummy coded (“Male” (0) “Female” (1)).
