The purpose of the present study is to compare narcissism and its types and self-conscious feelings of shame and guilt among male and female working students studying in Tehran universities. A number of 180 students (90 girls and 90 boys) were selected as available sampling from undergraduate students in Tehran universities, and they used the Pathological Narcissism Questionnaire (PNI) and the Conscious Affect Scale (TOSCA-3). completed The data was analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient and independent t-statistics. The results showed that there is no difference between the amount of experience of shame in girls and boys, But the amount of experience of guilt in girls is significantly higher than the amount of experience of guilt in boys. In addition, the results related to the variable of narcissism and its subscales showed that the level of experiencing pathological narcissism and the phenotype of vulnerable narcissism is not significantly different between male and female students, but the level of experiencing narcissism of the grandiose type is significantly different in boys. There are more students than girls. The results of the research show that although the rate of narcissism is the same in boys and girls, the rate of expressing narcissistic criteria is higher in boys than in girls.
