Summary/Abstract: The present study examines the relationship between narcissism, global self-esteem, and adverse childhood experiences. A sample of 204 participants (law enforcement trainees, officers, and psy-chologists) completed a modified Bulgarian version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40), the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The NPI-40 and self-esteem scales demonstrated excellent psychometric properties, yet the expected correlations among the three constructs were not confirmed. Possible explanations in-clude sample-specific characteristics and limitations in the application of the ACE-Q scale. The study introduces new Bulgarian adaptations of established instruments, which may serve as a foun-dation for future research and for practical use in forensic and criminal psychology.
