This emotional response often leads to either aggressive pushback or retreat. The study employs contemporary integrative interpersonal theory, which links interpersonal interactions to emotional well-being, highlighting how dimensions of agency and communion impact narcissistic behaviors. Understanding these dynamics can facilitate smoother social interactions and relationships with vulnerable narcissists, allowing for better emotional management in dominant situations.
