Sažetak
Factor structure of the SD3 in Croatian sample was tested by Kristofich-Ambruš, Krapić & Bratko (2013), who confirmed its three factor solution using exploratory factor analysis. However, to prove three factor model, one has to test it with the more powerful statistical method, that is more suitable for the multidimensional inventories. Additional need for the testing stems from the fact that in the study of Kristofich-Ambruš et al. (2013) some items showed zero loadings, especially on the narcissism factor. On-line study was done on 146 participants from the general population. SD3 (Jones & Paulhus, 2012, Kristofich Ambruš et al., 2013), with the replacement of one psychopathy item, following recommendations of Jones & Paulhus (2014), was used. ESEM confirmed expected model. However, zero loadings were present for four out of nine narcissism items. Model indices suggested adequate fit for alternative model and increase in narcissism internal reliability was present. Small sample size and on-line method of data collection have to be taken as shortcomings of this research. Before giving final conclusion on SD3 factor structure in Croatian sample, research that will utilize bigger and diverse samples is needed.
