Portrait of the self-enhancer: well adjusted and well liked or maladjusted and friendless?

Shelley E Taylor¹, Jennifer S Lerner, David K Sherman, Rebecca M Sage, Nina K McDowell.

Abstract

Research has variously portrayed self-enhancement as an indicator of narcissistic defensiveness or as a concomitant of mental health. To address this controversy, the present study used multiple measures of self-enhancement along with multiple measures and judges of mental health, comprehensively assessing their relationship. The results indicated that self-enhancement is positively associated with multiple indicators of mental health and with a more favorable impact on others. Discussion centers on a reconciliation of discrepant portraits of the self-enhancer.
