This study investigated the similarities and differences of two narcissistic subtypes, overt and covert, in anger related emotions. The depression, anger, aggression, and hostile automatic thought were measured and compared. Also, the effect of self-concept clarity on negative emotions was investigated. The Narcissistic Personality Disorder Scale, the Covert Narcissism Scale, the Self-Concept Clarity Scale, the Zung Depression Scale, the Aggression Questionnaire, the Hostile Automatic Thought Scale, the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory were administered to 356 college students. Then, the covert and overt narcissists were selected by using the NPDS and CNS scores. The results were as follows: the covert narcissistic group showed lower self-concept clarity, and higher depression, hostility, hostile automatic thought of derogation, trait anger, and anger-repression than the overt narcissistic group. The overt narcissistic group showed more aggression when they had low self-concept clarity. However, the control group showed no differences according to the levels of self-concept clarity, and almost all covert narcissists showed lower self-concept clarity.
