The purpose of this study was to validate and explore the factor structure of the Korean version of the Five-Factor Narcissism Inventory-Short Form (FFNI-SF), a measure developed to assess the constructs of narcissism from an integrated perspective. Structural Equation Modeling was conducted on data from 271 undergraduates. Next, convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity were verified in a separate sample of 277 undergraduates. The results indicated that the FFNI-SF was best represented by 3 factors: Entitled Narcissism (EN-N), Ostentatious Narcissism (OS-N), and Evaluative Narcissism (EV-N). These factors manifested convergent and divergent relationships with measures of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. While EN-N showed significant correlations with all narcissism measurements, OS-N and EV-N had positive correlation only with grandiosity and vulnerability, respectively. Concurrent validity was further analyzed, revealing that different components of the FFNI-SF manifested different relationships with self-esteem, indicating a potential underlying association between narcissism and self-esteem.
