Povezanost med odnosom staršev do posameznika in njegovo nagnjenostjo k narcisizmu : magistrsko delo

Kunaver, Zana (author), Erzar, Tomaž (mentor)

Starševske vezi otroka že v zelo zgodnjem življenju izoblikujejo v osebnost, ki se kasneje v življenju razvija. Tako, kot številne druge patologije posameznika, ima narcisizem do neke mere izvor v zgodnjem otroštvu in lahko trdimo, da je povezan tudi z vzorci iz primarne družine. Raziskavo smo izvedli na vzorcu 216 udeležencev, in sicer 135 ženskah in 81 moških. Ugotovili smo, da na našem vzorcu obstaja statistično pomembna povezava med višjo stopnjo narcisizma posameznika in tesnejšim odnosom z mamo in obema staršema. Na našem vzorcu je bila sicer povezava majhna, a vseeno statistično pomembna. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da je narcisizem statistično pomembno bolj prisoten pri moških v primerjavi z ženskami, a je bila ta razlika v populaciji nekoliko šibkejša. Med ljubečim starševskim odnosom in nižjo stopnjo narcisizma nismo odkrili nobene statistično pomembne povezave, prav tako tudi nismo ugotovili statistično pomembne razlike med izobrazbo udeležencev in stopnjo njihovega narcisizma. Namen magistrskega dela ni bil diagnosticiranje narcisistične osebnostne motnje, saj to počnejo za to usposobljeni strokovnjaki, psihiatri in klinični psihologi. S pomočjo analize rezultatov smo ugotavljali povezave, ki lahko v zgodnjem otroštvu pripeljejo do tega, da se pri določenih posameznikih razvijejo narcistične poteze, ki kasneje onemogočajo njegovo normalno delovanje, posledično pa trpijo tudi njegovi bližnji družinski člani, prijatelji in partner. Čeprav je bilo o narcisizmu napisane že ogromno literature, je prostora za raziskovanje povezanosti med narcisizmom in zgodnjim odnosom s starši še veliko. Zanimivo bi bilo raziskati povezanost med narcističnimi starši in njihovim odnosom do otrok ali pa povezanost med različnimi oblikami patološkega narcisizma pri posamezniku in odnosom z njegovimi starši.

• Title: The connection between parents' relationship towards an individual and his tendency to narcissism

Abstract

Parental bonds shape their child in a very early life into a personality that develops later in life. Like many other pathologies, narcissism has to some extent origins in early childhood and it can be argued that it is to some extent related to patterns from the primary family. The research was conducted on a sample of 216 participants, namely 135 women and 81 men. We found that in our sample there is a statistically significant connection between a higher level of narcissism of an individual and a closer relationship with the mother and both parents. In our sample, the connection was small, but still statistically significant. We also found that narcissism is statistically significantly more present in men compared to women. We did not find any statistically significant relationship between a loving parental relationship and a lower level of narcissism, nor did we find a statistically significant difference in the level of narcissism according to the education of the participants. The purpose of the master's thesis was not to diagnose narcissistic personality disorder, as this is done by qualified specialists, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. With the help of the analysis of the results, we determined the connections that can lead to the development of narcissistic traits in certain individuals in early childhood, which later prevent the narcissist from functioning normally. As a result, his close family members, friends and partner usually suffer. Despite the fact that a great deal of literature has already been written on narcissism, there is still much room for research into the connection between narcissism and the early relationship with parents. It would be interesting to investigate the connection between narcissistic parents and their relationship with their children, or the connection between different forms of pathological narcissism of an individual and the relationship with their parents
