The Effects on Narcissistic Parenting on Child Development

Parental personality has a potentially large impact on a child’s overall sense of well-being, self-esteem, and overall development. This study will be looking at narcissistic parents and their impact on their adult child’s overall well-being and self-esteem. The purpose of this study will be to discover how narcissistic parenting affects a child’s development. This will provide substantial and beneficial data in order to aid in ways to better parenting as well as aid in the mental health of the parent and their child. The adult children will be asked in a questionnaire about their relationship with their parents, while also asking them about their relationship with themselves, or more specifically, their self-esteem and well-being. These adult children will also be recalling recollection of behavior of a parent of their choosing in order to rate this parent on both types of narcissism through a Likert scale of strongly disagree to strongly agree that they will match to each narcissism type. The types of narcissisms will also be measured by utilizing the two designated psychological scales for both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism. Through these scales and methodology, we are expecting to find out if those that reported having a more narcissistic parent are impacted more negatively in their development in comparison to those who do not have narcissistic parents.

父母的人格特质对子女的整体幸福感、自尊以及全面发展具有潜在的重大影响。本研究旨在探讨自恋型父母及其对成年子女整体幸福感和自尊的影响。本研究的目的是揭示自恋型育儿方式如何影响子女的发展，并将提供大量有益数据，以助提升育儿方式，同时也有利于父母及其子女的心理健康。成年子女将被要求在问卷中描述他们与父母的关系，同时也要探讨他们与自身的关系，即他们的自尊和幸福感。这些成年子女还将回忆起他们选择的一个父母的行为，以便通过李克特量表（从强烈不同意到强烈同意）对这种父母的行为进行自恋类型的评分。自恋的类型也将通过利用针对脆弱型和夸大型的两种指定心理量表进行测量。通过这些量表和方法，我们期望发现那些报告有更自恋型父母的个体，在发展过程中受到的负面影响是否比那些没有自恋型父母的个体更为严重。
