    Narcissism and gratitude seem to be opposing constructs; however, their relationship is intricate due to their multidimensional nature. In the current study (N = 462) we examined the associations between narcissistic personality traits (that is, agentic, antagonistic, neurotic and communal types) and gratitude (conceived as a sense of abundance, simple appreciation, and appreciation of others). We found that antagonistic narcissism had large negative associations with each aspect of gratitude, whereas the other narcissistic personality traits had less consistent associations with the aspects of gratitude. Agentic and communal narcissism were positively associated with a sense of abundance and simple appreciation, whereas neurotic narcissism was negatively associated with a sense of abundance. The obtained results support the concept that narcissism is a complex and heterogeneous construct as its traits show both positive and negative associations with aspects of gratitude.
