Abstract
Background: The present study was aimed at discerning the impact of feminism on narcissism and tolerance for disagreement among females. Methods: For the purpose, a sample of 40 females belonging to the age group of 18-25 years was taken. The participants were divided into two groups: (feminists and non-feminists) on the basis of their self-ratings on the construct of feminism. Each group was assessed for their narcissism and tolerance for disagreement, quantitatively with the help of Dark Triad of Personality (D3-Short; narcissism sub-scale) and Tolerance for Disagreement Scale. Results: The results of the study indicated that there was a significant difference in the levels of narcissism and tolerance for disagreement, among feminists and non-feminist females. And it was observed that, feminist females elicited a higher level of narcissism with a mean of 2.92, as compared to non-feminist females with a mean of 2.31; and lower levels of tolerance for disagreement was found in feminist females with a mean of 39.00, as opposed to non-feminist females with a mean of 52.15. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the levels of narcissism and tolerance for disagreement, among feminist and non-feminist females.
