A cross-temporal meta-analysis was applied to examine the changes in Chinese college students’ narcissism level from 2005 to 2012. We collected the literature investigating college students by Zheng Yong’s Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire in the past eight years. The results showed that, mean narcissism score was significantly correlated with year of data when weighted by sample size, suggesting that narcissism level of Chinese college students has been slowly increasing from 2005 to 2012; the overt narcissism level had no significant gender difference, while male college students had higher than female in covert narcissism.
