Abstract： Abstract：Since the 1980s, narcissism has become more and more popular in research. Narcissism may be important for developing self-consciousness and guiding the future. Temperament is the basis for the formation and development of personality, and an important susceptibility factor for the formation of narcissistic personality. Numerous studies have explored the relationship between narcissism and BIS/BAS. However, these results are far from consistency. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relation between narcissism and BIS/BAS and investigate the moderating effects of measurement tools of narcissism, participant types, age and gender. Through literature retrieval, 25 independent effect sizes together with 7702 participants which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis were selected. Homogeneity test indicated that random effects model was appropriate for the meta-analysis. The results of funnel plot and Egger’s intercept illustrated no publication bias. Main-effect test indicated a significant negative correlation between narcissism and BIS (r = –0.27, 95%CI = [–0.34, –0.21]). Further moderation analysis revealed that the association between narcissism and BIS was moderated by measurement tools of narcissism; Main-effect test indicated a significant positive correlation between narcissism and BAS (r = 0.46, 95%CI = [0.40, 0.52]). Further moderation analysis revealed that the association between narcissism and BAS was moderated by participant types. The results supported the agency model of narcissism and the revised reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality. "
