Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Narcissism's impact on emotional regulation and attributional styles is complex.
  • Understanding these links is crucial for psychological interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between narcissism and self-conscious emotions (guilt, shame, hubristic pride, achievement pride).
  • To investigate the association between narcissism and attributional styles (externalization, detachment).
  • To explore the influence of shame and guilt proneness on these variables.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 452 Japanese university students.
  • Utilized the Test of Self-Conscious Affect-3 (TOSCA-3) and Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-S).
  • Structural equation modeling for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Narcissism positively correlated with achievement pride, hubristic pride, externalization, and detachment.
  • Narcissism negatively correlated with shame, but not guilt.
  • Shame proneness predicted hubristic pride and externalization.
  • Guilt proneness predicted achievement pride and deterred externalization.

Conclusions:

  • Narcissism shapes specific emotional and attributional patterns in young adults.
  • Findings offer insights into the mechanisms of narcissism and its potential therapeutic targets.
  • Results suggest distinct roles for guilt and shame in emotional regulation and coping.
