A comparative study of the component of arrogance in narcissistic personality disorder from the perspective of psychology and Islamic teachings

In psychological studies, narcissistic personality disorder is one of the types of personality disorders that is characterized by multiple characteristics - exclusive to itself or shared with other disorders. As the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has emphasized, arrogance and self-conceited feeling are the most important characteristics of a narcissist. The purpose of this research is to analyze and explain this feature and component, and in it, an attempt has been made to explain what it is from the perspective of Islamic teachings and the basics of psychology. In this research, while examining the Qur'anic and narrative expressions, in addition to the concept of arrogance, which indicates a self-conceited feeling and is related to the concept of self-conceit in narcissistic personality disorder, the concepts of "baghi, taghi, batar, farah, Marah, Ata, Khoyala and Hamiat-e-Jahiliyat" were also found, which are included in the subcategory of arrogance, and each of them indicates one of the characteristics of self-arrogance in narcissistic personality disorder.
