Another objective was to investigate the moderating role of low level of narcissistic tendencies between forgiveness and social connectedness and also between empathy and social connectedness. Sample drawn through multistage sampling included (N=280) university students (male= 134 and female=146). The Hyper sensitivity narcissism scale (HSNS); Interpersonal reactivity index (IRI), the Heartland forgiveness scale (HFS) and Social connectedness scale (SCS), were used to infer the proposed hypotheses. Results generated through moderated regression analysis revealed that narcissism is a significant negative predictor of social connectedness. Forgiveness of others and empathy positively predict social connectedness, when controlling for (gender and family system). Narcissism did not moderate between empathy and social connectedness and also between forgiveness and social connectedness. College and University counselors' can facilitate students to build "social capital" by helping them develop empathy and forgiveness and making them learn strategies for management of narcissistic tendencies to enhance social interactions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Dialogue (Pakistan) is the property of Knowledge Bylanes and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
