Abstract in brief

The meta-analysis found that narcissism is consistently linked to various forms of aggression and violence, regardless of provocation, with a stronger connection under provoked conditions.
Both normal and pathological narcissism, including all three dimensions—entitlement, grandiose, and vulnerable narcissism—are related to different types of aggression such as physical, verbal, and indirect forms, applicable across genders, ages, and cultural contexts.
The findings suggest that provocation significantly increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior in individuals with high narcissism, highlighting narcissism as an important risk factor for aggression and violence across diverse settings and measures.]
