The second instrument used in this study is Narcissistic Personality Inventory NPI which was designed by Dr. Ames et al. and adapted into Turkish by Atay. For the analyses of the data; Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v20 package program was used. ?Spearman Correlation? analysis was employed to determine whether or not there was a correlation between social physique anxiety and narcissism. As a result, it was found out that there was significant correlation between Social Physique Anxiety level and Narcissistic Personality Inventory in terms of sub-dimension scores. It was noted that as the level of Social Physique Anxiety level increased their narcissism levels decreased.
