Abstract

Abstract:

This study investigated the mediating role of children’s narcissism in the relations between parent-child attachment and children’s reactive and proactive aggression, as well as the moderating role of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). A survey was conducted with 643 children aged 9~14 using the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire, the parent attachment subscale of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, the Narcissism Scale for Children, and the Highly Sensitive Child Scale. The results showed that vulnerable narcissism mediated the effects of parent-child trust and parent-child alienation on children’s proactive and reactive aggression, while grandiose narcissism mediated the effects of parent-child communication and parent-child alienation on reactive aggression. Higher SPS enhanced the positive association between vulnerable narcissism and reactive aggression and aggravated the negative impact of parent-child alienation on reactive aggression. The study comprehensively revealed the relations among parent-child attachment, different narcissism types, and children’s reactive and proactive aggression, highlighting the susceptibility of high SPS children to reactive aggression.

Key words: parent-child attachment, aggressive behaviors, vulnerable narcissism, grandiose narcissism, sensory processing sensitivity

摘要：

为探讨自恋在亲子依恋与儿童反应性攻击和主动性攻击间的中介及感觉加工敏感性(sensory processing sensitivity, SPS)的调节作用，采用反应性−主动性攻击问卷、亲子与同伴依恋量表中亲子依恋维度、儿童自恋量表和高敏感儿童量表，对643名9～14岁儿童进行调查。结果显示，隐性自恋中介亲子信任和亲子疏离对两类攻击行为的影响，显性自恋中介亲子沟通和亲子疏离对反应性攻击的影响；高SPS增强了亲子疏离、隐性自恋和反应性攻击的正向关联。研究更全面地揭示了亲子依恋、不同自恋类型和儿童反应性攻击与主动性攻击的关系，揭示了高SPS儿童对反应性攻击的易感性。
