Despite its rich theoretical and empirical background, narcissism has remained as a complex construct to define. In the literature, it was mainly depicted in two forms, namely grandiose and vulnerable narcissism (Wink, 1991). Studies mostly indicated that these two constructs diverged in many aspects (Miller et al., 2011). However, factors resulting in these two images of narcissism has not been not well defined. Thus, this study aimed to understand vulnerable and grandiose narcissism from the perspective of self-conscious emotions and anger. The results of the regression analyses, conducted with 559 adult participants revealed that after controlling for the variance accounted for by age and gender; both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism were positively associated with trait anger and externalized anger; and though pride was the third common feature while grandiose narcissism revealed a positive association with pride, vulnerable narcissism had a negative association with this self-conscious emotion. Other than these features, vulnerable narcissism was positively associated with shame and internalized anger, whereas grandiose narcissism revealed insignificant associations with these emotions. The findings revealed some distinguishing patterns as well as common grounds between two subtypes of narcissistic character styles. Clinical implications, suggestions for future studies, and limitations were discussed in the light of the current literature.

Common and discriminant features of vulnerable and grandiose narcissism from the perspective of self-conscious emotions and anger. Akıncı, İrem; Gençöz, Tülin (null; 2017-07-14) Despite its rich theoretical and empirical background, narcissism has remained as a complex construct to define.

Deflationism about truth and the general form of sentence Besler, Arman; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2015) Deflationism about truth is roughly the negative thesis that truth is not a substantial notion, and does not call for a reductive philosophical analysis. Deflationism comes in several main varieties, each focusing on a particular aspect/appearance of this negative fact, hence formulating the deflationary thesis under the guidance of that aspect/appearance. This study attempts to reformulate the deflationary thesis by (1) proposing a simple but illuminative typology of deflationisms, (2) detecting the correc...
ENCOUNTERS WITH BLINDNESS: REPRODUCTION OF THE CONTEXT OF NORMAL IN EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN EDUCATED BLIND INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR SIGHTED RELATIVES/FRIENDS Özyurt, Ceylin; Topal, Çağatay; Department of Sociology (2021-9) This thesis analyzes the understanding of the normal that is socially defined as the antonym of the stigmatized by centralizing sightedness and blindness and using the theoretical frame of Goffman’s Stigma Theory. The inquiry adopts sightedness and blindness not as individuals’ attributes but as contexts in flux in everyday interactions. In light of the relevant literature review, 20 face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve legally defined blind persons and eight sighted persons in...
Self-love and self-deception in Seneca, the Stoic Sururi, Ayten; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2005) In this thesis, Seneca̕s notion of self as self-love and the problem of self-deception are analyzed. In examining three types of self-love, اignorant, progressing selves,اthree models of self-deception are discussed. Self-deception is related to the problem of self-knowledge. I discuss the nature of self-love as self-esteem and self-preservation and self-shaping all of which are innate qualities and develop into more complex forms of knowing. Passions are concrete examples of the representations of deceived...
HABITUS AS A CRITIQUE OF THE SUBJECT-OBJECT DICHOTOMY: A CASE OF ANKARA MUSICIANS Altay, Ulaş Murat; Kuymulu, Mehmet Barış; Department of Sociology (2021-10-05) This thesis is a critique of the presupposition of the subject-object dichotomy that is prevalent in the methodologies of art theories. It conducts its critique by utilizing Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus in the analysis of its empirical data. The empirical data that this thesis presents consists of the interviews with Ankara musicians. Through the analysis of these interviews, the thesis demonstrates that art theories relying on the subject-object dichotomy fall short in explaining the empirical varie...
