Research on narcissism has a long tradition, but there is limited knowledge regarding
its application among female youth, especially for forensic samples of incarcerated
female youth. Drawing on 377 female adolescents (103 selected from forensic
settings and 274 selected from school settings) from Portugal, the current study is
the first to examine simultaneously the psychometric properties of a brief version
of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-13) among females drawn from
incarcerated and community settings. The results support the three-factor structure
model of narcissism after the removal of one item due to its low factor loading. Internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity showed promising
results. In terms of criterion-related validity, significant associations were found with
criterion-related variables such as age of criminal onset, conduct disorder, crime
severity, violent crimes, and alcohol and drug use. The findings provide support for
use of the NPI-13 among female juveniles.
