Abstract

Research often shows that narcissism and attachment style are related. The present research examines the question of whether early parenting style contributes to adult attachment style, beyond the relation between narcissism and attachment. Parents reported on their parenting style at age 3, and offspring were assessed for attachment style and narcissism at age 23. The results indicated that early parenting style was not directly related to narcissism, but along with narcissism added to the prediction of attachment style. In combination with vulnerable narcissism, authoritarian parenting was positively related to secure attachment, and negatively related to preoccupied attachment, whereas permissive and responsive parenting were negatively related to secure attachment and positively related to preoccupied attachment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
