Relations between Anonymity and Aggression: Narcissistic Types and Gender

Abstract

This study examined gender and narcissistic types as factors in the relationship between anonymity and aggression in 206 adults. Using hierarchical regression in SPSS 29.0, anonymity, aggression, overt narcissism, and covert narcissism were analyzed. Results reveal that the impact of anonymity on aggression loses significance when considering narcissistic types, despite sole anonymity significantly explaining aggression. Both overt and covert narcissistic tendencies explained aggression, controlling anonymity. Gender differences were observed, with only covert narcissism significantly explaining aggression in men, while women showed significant effects for both narcissistic tendencies in anonymity controlled conditions. The study underscores the need to scrutinize personal factors such as narcissistic types and gender for a comprehensive understanding of anonymous counseling. It emphasizes considering individual characteristics beyond the influence of anonymity itself.
