A sample of 100 Indian men, aged 20-30, completed standardized measures of narcissistic traits and anger expression. The study explored the potential correlation between narcissistic personality traits and aggression expression, including physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility. The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the complex dynamics between narcissism and aggression expression in Indian men, with implications for mental health and social relationships.
