Narcissism versus proneness to shame and guilt.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between the narcissistic personality trait, measured with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and proneness to shame and guilt, measured with the Shame-Guilt Proneness Scale. Participants were 165 students (83 men, 82 women), aged 19-30 years. Pearson product-moment correlations, with computations comparing NPI Total score with each of the Shame-Guilt Proneness Scale subscales, were negative for scores on narcissism and shame and for those on narcissism and guilt. These data are consistent with previous findings, which suggest that the "overt" type narcissist is immune to feelings of guilt and may be characterised by a negation of the experience of shame.

متن کاملA Comparison of the Social-Adaptive Perspective and Functionalist Perspective on Guilt and Shame
Within the field of guilt and shame two competing perspectives have been advanced.
