Abstract
A direct replication study evaluated the claim that narcissistic traits are negatively associated with affective empathy. Participants (N = 192) completed a task that covertly manipulated and measured affective empathy and completed three narcissism measures. Consistent with previous research, multiple regression analyses revealed little support for the narcissism-affective empathy hypothesis.
