This study aimed to investigate the effects of two-sided narcissism on the sensitivity of reward and punishment as well as to test the moderate role of gender in the link between narcissistic admiration-rivalry and the behavioral inhibition/approach system. Four hundred and eighty-three college students were randomly recruited from a university. All participants completed Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ) and BIS/BAS items online. The results showed that: 1) admiration narcissism was positively correlated with behavioral approach system and negatively correlated with behavioral inhibition system; 2) rivalry narcissism positively correlated with behavioral inhibition system, but no correlation was observed with the behavioral approach system; and 3) gender played a moderating role in the relationship between two sides of narcissism and behavioral system. In summary, females are more sensitive to both reward and punishment than males.
