Double Entry Journal Source 4

This double entry journal discusses a study on narcissists' negative behavior during romantic relationship conflicts. The study found that people higher in narcissism engaged in more negative behaviors like criticism, complaining, insults, and name-calling during conflicts, and reported becoming less committed to their partners afterwards. Additionally, research on romantic conflicts suggests relationships are more likely to end for couples who criticize, contempt, withdraw from, or defend themselves against each other during fights.
