Resumo(s)
A investigação sobre o narcisismo tem procurado compreender as suas origens e os
fatores que influenciam o seu desenvolvimento. Entre esses fatores, o abuso infantil tem sido
apontado como um dos mais relevantes, embora a literatura apresente resultados contraditórios
quanto à sua relação com as diferentes dimensões do narcisismo. Assim, compreender de que
forma as experiências adversas na infância influenciam o desenvolvimento destas dimensões
torna-se essencial para clarificar essas inconsistências. O presente estudo teve como principal
objetivo analisar a relação entre os diferentes tipos de abuso infantil e o narcisismo grandioso
e vulnerável na idade adulta, procurando igualmente identificar quais as formas de abuso que
melhor predizem cada uma das dimensões do narcisismo. Participaram 186 indivíduos da
população geral, onde 136 identificam-se com o género feminino e 50 com o género masculino,
com idades entre os 18 e os 65 anos (M = 28,45; DP = 10,61). Foram utilizados o Questionário
de Trauma Infantil – versão breve (CTQ-SF) para avaliar o abuso infantil, o Questionário da
Personalidade Narcísica 13 (NPI-13) para medir o narcisismo grandioso o Questionário do
Narcisismo Vulnerável (HSNS) para avaliar o narcisismo vulnerável. Os resultados indicaram
que o narcisismo grandioso não apresentou correlações significativas com nenhum tipo de
abuso infantil. Por outro lado, o narcisismo vulnerável apresentou correlações positivas com o
abuso emocional, a negligência emocional e a negligência física. No modelo de regressão,
apenas o abuso emocional revelou ser um preditor significativo do narcisismo vulnerável,
explicando 8,6% da variância. Os resultados reforçam a evidência de que as experiências de
abuso e negligência na infância tendem a associar-se a traços de vulnerabilidade narcísica,
caracterizados por insegurança, medo de rejeição e necessidade de validação externa. Em
contraste, o narcisismo grandioso não apresentou relação com experiências de vitimização,
podendo estar mais fortemente associado a outros fatores. Estes achados destacam a
importância de distinguir as dimensões do narcisismo e de considerar o papel específico das
experiências adversas precoces no seu desenvolvimento.
Research on narcissism has sought to understand its origins and the factors that influence its development. Among these factors, childhood abuse has been identified as one of the most significant, although the literature presents conflicting findings regarding its relationship with the different dimensions of narcissism. Therefore, understanding how adverse childhood experiences shape the development of these dimensions is essential to clarify these inconsistencies. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between different types of childhood abuse and both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in adulthood, as well as to identify which forms of abuse best predict each dimension of narcissism. The sample consisted of 186 individuals from the general population, of whom 136 identified as female and 50 as male, aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 28.45; SD = 10.61). The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire – Short Form (CTQ-SF) was used to assess childhood abuse, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13 (NPI-13) to measure grandiose narcissism, and the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS) to assess vulnerable narcissism. The results indicated that grandiose narcissism did not show significant correlations with any type of childhood abuse. In contrast, vulnerable narcissism showed positive correlations with emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect. In the regression model, only emotional abuse emerged as a significant predictor of vulnerable narcissism, accounting for 8.6% of the variance. These findings strengthen the evidence that experiences of abuse and neglect in childhood are associated with traits of narcissistic vulnerability, characterized by insecurity, fear of rejection, and the need for external validation. Conversely, grandiose narcissism was not related to experiences of victimization and may be more strongly linked to other factors. These results underscore the importance of distinguishing between the dimensions of narcissism and considering the specific role of early adverce experiences in their development.
