  • Title: Narcissism, self-esteem, and parental nurturance.
    Author: Watson PJ, Hickman SE, Morris RJ, Milliron JT, Whiting L.
    Journal: J Psychol; 1995 Jan; 129(1):61-73. PubMed ID: 7714845.
    Abstract:
    Self-reported narcissism, self-esteem, and perceptions of parents as nurturing were examined in a sample of 459 undergraduates. In zero-order and partial correlations, dimensions from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory displayed inter-relationships and linkages with self-esteem and parental nurturance that conformed with the hypothesis that indices of narcissism fall along a continuum of mental health. Partial correlations controlling for self-esteem also indicated that at least some data for the more adaptive aspects of narcissism were mediated by healthier self-functioning. These results support recent suggestions that narcissism must be conceptualized within frameworks that include healthy self-esteem.
