The purpose of this research was to predict social exchange based on personality dimensions with the mediating role of narcissism in Tehran students. This research is a type of quantitative research, and in terms of its purpose, it is considered to be an applied research. The research method is descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population of this research, the statistical population in this research includes all the students of Tehran city in the academic year of 1400-1401, there were 300,000 people in Tehran city, which was sampled based on the table of Georgesi and Morgan 384 and with the available method. Among the research tools were the 5-factor questionnaires of Neo's personality traits, the social exchange style questionnaire by Liebman et al. (2011) and the narcissistic personality questionnaire by Raskin and Terry (1988). The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS version 26 and AMOS software. The results showed that narcissism has a partial mediating role in the relationship between the personality traits of "excitability, extroversion, openness and agreeableness" with all exchange styles, but the personality trait of "obligation" with the mediation of narcissism does not play a role in explaining any of the exchange styles. As a result, it can be said that narcissism and personality factors play an irreplaceable role in the social exchange of students. Also, the findings of this research show a low relationship between "excitability" and "agreeableness" with narcissism, and the relationship between narcissism and extroversion showed a high number, so it can be said that narcissism of the type of grandiose effect has a stronger relationship with personality traits, and therefore, in this case, it can be more To act as a mediator between personality traits and social exchange. On the other hand, the analysis of the coefficients of the path of narcissism with social exchange styles shows that the exchange style of "utilitarianism" with the path coefficient of -0.416 and the social exchange style of "individualism" with the path coefficient of -0.343 have a stronger correlation coefficient than the rest of the exchange styles. They have social (investment, follow-up, fairness). In summarizing the results, it can be said that narcissistic people are gradually excluded from society, and on the other hand, positive personality and behavioral characteristics strengthen students' social exchange relationships. It is suggested to hold workshops in this regard in order to reduce people's narcissism and strengthen personality traits.
