Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the influences of parental rearing pattern and adult attachment on narcissism of college students.Methods 344 college students from two universities in Hebei Province were sampled randomly and tested by the Chinese version of EMBU,the Narcissistic Personality Inventory and the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR) in Chinese version.Results ( 1 ) The whole score of overt narcissism correlated with paternal warming,punishment,interference,rejection and maternal warming( r =0.163,0.130,0.184,0.109,0.206),but not with adult attachment; covert narcissism correlated with paternal punishment,over-interference,rejection,over-protection,maternal over interference and protection,rejection,and punishment,and anxiety and aviodance of adult attachment positively ( r =0.135,0.169,0.210,0.123,0.220,0.194,0.215,0.183,0.269).(2) The parental reaming pattern affected overt narcissism directly,while that affected covert narcissism directly with adult attachment,and indirectly through adult attachment.ConclusionCotraditory rearing patterns between father and mother lead to overt narcissism,and negative rearning patterns lead to covert narcissism with the mediator role of adult attachment.
