Key words

My research team conducts research on phenomena related to narcissism and entitlement in cross-cultural context.

Academic research conducted

As part of the grant, dr hab. Magdalena Żemojtel-Piotrowska, Associate Professor at CSWU, I conduct research on different types of narcissism as a personality trait. In addition, I conduct a measurement of resilience, or mental resilience and its connection with narcissism. It is a construct that speaks of mental resilience, the ability to cope with difficult life situations and how an individual can deal with changes in life. According to the assumptions of the research, resilience should have a positive relationship with size, causative and community narcissism, and negative relationship with sensitive narcissism. So far, research has confirmed these hypotheses.

I am also planning to study the relation of temperament measured by EEG with resilience, which may be a premise to state that resilience is biologically conditioned.
