Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate whether parental grandiose and vulnerable narcissism influence preschool children’s physical aggression. A survey was conducted on 823 parents of preschoolers from four kindergartens using the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, the Parental Locus of Control Scale, and the Child Behavior Checklist. The results revealed: 1) Parental grandiose narcissism was significantly negatively correlated with children’s physical aggression, while parental vulnerable narcissism was significantly positively correlated with children’s physical aggression. 2) Parental physical aggression acted as a suppressor between grandiose narcissism and children’s physical aggression, and partially mediated the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and children’s physical aggression. 3) Parental grandiose narcissism was negatively correlated with parental locus of control, while parental vulnerable narcissism was positively correlated with parental locus of control. Parental locus of control partially mediated the relationship between parental narcissism and children’s physical aggression. These findings suggest that different forms of parental narcissism exert distinct effects on children’s physical aggression.

Key words: parental grandiose narcissism, parental vulnerable narcissism, locus of control, physical aggression

摘要：

为考察父母的夸大自恋和脆弱自恋水平是否会影响幼儿的身体攻击行为，采用病理性自恋量表、Buss-Perry攻击性量表、子女教育控制源量表和儿童行为量表对4所幼儿园823名幼儿父母进行了调查。结果发现：(1)父母夸大自恋与幼儿身体攻击行为存在显著负相关，父母脆弱自恋与幼儿身体攻击行为存在显著正相关。(2)父母身体攻击行为在父母夸大自恋与幼儿身体攻击行为之间存在遮掩效应，在脆弱自恋与幼儿身体攻击行为之间起部分中介作用。(3)父母夸大自恋与子女教育心理控制源呈负相关，而父母脆弱自恋与子女教育心理控制源呈正相关；子女教育心理控制源部分中介了父母自恋和幼儿身体攻击行为的关系。研究结果说明不同的父母自恋对幼儿身体攻击行为的影响不同。
