dc.description.abstractEmpathy is the skill of taking a complex psychological perspective which combines observation, memory, knowledge and reasoning to have insights on thoughts and feelings of others. How an individual can see the negative outcomes of his/her actions are largely related to his/her empathic skill levels. Selfishness is the search for personal interest at the expense of another individual's suffering beyond protecting and looking out for the personal interests. The most important indicators of narcissistic personality can be summed up as a grandiose self, believing to be entitled, exploitation in interpersonal relations, using people to achieve one's goals, and reluctance to accept or share the feelings and needs of others. This research aimed to test the mediating role of selfishness in the relationship between empathy and narcissistic personality. Empathy was taken as the independent latent variable, selfishness as the mediator variable and narcissism as the dependent latent variable in the research. As the instruments, the Toronto Empathy Scale, Narcissistic Personality Inventory and Selfishness Scale were applied to 465 young adults (310 women and 155 men) in the research. The structural equation modeling was used in the data analysis. It was observed in the research that there were moderate negative significant relationships between empathy and narcissism (gamma = 0.35) and between empathy and selfishness (gamma = -0.59) and a moderate positive significant relationship between selfishness and narcissism (gamma = 0.53). The testing of the mediator variable model showed that selfishness had a fully mediating role in the relationship between empathy and narcissism.en_US
