The effect of narcissism and neuroticism on physical education and sports teacher candidates of real and self-estimated exam grades
Öz
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the joint effect of narcissism and neuroticism on physical education teacher candidates’ real and self-estimated exam grades.
Methods: The sample included 60 (20 female) first-year physical education teacher candidates. Before the educational psychology visa exam, participants completed measures of narcissism and neuroticism. Immediately after the exam, participants reported their expected exam grades.
Results: Results of the correlation analysis indicated that narcissism was positively and significantly associated with the deviation of the self-estimated exam grade from the real exam grade, which means that narcissistic individuals may tend to overestimate their exam grades. Regression analyses also confirmed that narcissism is a significant predictor of the deviation of the self-estimated exam grade from the real exam grade. A two-way analysis of variance further demonstrated that narcissistic individuals self-estimated exam grades showed a higher deviation from the real exam grades than their non-narcissistic counterparts.
Conclusion: Narcissistic individuals may have a predisposition to overestimate their exam grades.
