NPA Personality Theory Personality theory based on the genetic traits of narcissism, perfectionism and aggression
نویسنده
چکیده
The NPA theory of personality was developed by A.M. Benis on the basis of concepts presented over fifty years ago by psychiatrist Karen Horney. The model posits three major behavioral traits underlying personality: narcissism (N), perfectionism (P) and aggression (A), leading to the formulation of discrete character types. Each trait is based on a major pleiotropic gene (a gene determining several related characteristics) that follows the rules of Mendelian genetics.

متن کاملEffects of narcissistic entitlement and exploitativeness on human physical aggression
Research has demonstrated that narcissism is related to the perpetration of aggression.
