摘要:The concept of self-esteem stability has an important role in the understanding of interpersonal and psychological functioning of individuals.The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem stability,narcissism and psychological well-being.A total of 178 participants (77% female) participated in this study.The average age of the participants was 20,with the ages ranging from 18 to 26 years.The participants completed the following scales and questionnaires: Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI),Psychological Well-being Scales (PWBS),Instability of Selfesteem scale (ISES) and Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSES).The Rosenberg Self-esteem scale was used to measure both self-esteem level and self-esteem stability,which was defined as dispersion of self-esteem level in time.For the purpose of obtaining data on self-esteem stability,the participants were required complete the Rosenberg self-esteem scale for a sequence of 14 days,other measures were completed during the first day of participation in the study.The main effects for self-esteem level emerged for narcissism and psychological well-being,in both cases higher levels of self-esteem was associated to higher levels of narcissism and psychological well-being.Self-esteem stability additionally explained a significant proportion of variability in narcissism and psychological well-being.Self-esteem stability was negatively associated with higher levels of narcissism and positively associated with higher levels of psychological well-being,above and beyond the effect of self-esteem level.When comparing two different measures of self-esteem stability,the results revealed that people with higher level of narcissism tend to overestimate their self-esteem stability.The results were consistent with our hypotheses.The importance of considering both level and stability of self-esteem,limitations of the present study and possibilities for further research are also discussed.
其他摘要:Koncept stabilnosti samospoštovanja ima pomembno vlogo pri razumevanju medosebnega in psihološkega funkcioniranja posameznikov.Namen pričujoče raziskave je bil preveriti odnos med stabilnostjo samospoštovanja,narcisizmom in psihološkim blagostanjem.V raziskavi je sodelovalo 178 udeležencev (77 % žensk).Povprečna starost udeležencev je bila 20 let,v razponu od 18 do 26 let.Udeleženci so reševali vprašalnik narcisizma NPI,vprašalnik psihološkega blagostanja PWBS,lestvico nestabilnosti samospoštovanja ISES in lestvico samospoštovanja RSES.Lestvica samospoštovanja RSES je bila uporabljena za oceno tako stopnje kot stabilnosti samospoštovanja;slednjo smo operacionalizirali kot razpršenost stopnje samospoštovanja v času.Za namene pridobitve podatka o stabilnosti samospoštovanja so udeleženci lestvico samospoštovanja reševali 14 dni zapored,medtem ko so ostale mere izpolnili prvi dan sodelovanja.Glavni učinek stopnje samospoštovanja se je pokazal tako v odnosu do narcisizma kot psihološkega blagostanja,v obeh primerih so se z višanjem stopnje samospoštovanja višale tudi vrednosti narcisizma ter psihološkega blagostanja.Stabilnost samospoštovanja (razpršenost stopnje samospoštovanja v času) je,ob upoštevanju stopnje samospoštovanja,dodatno pojasnila statistično pomemben delež variance narcisizma in psihološkega blagostanja.Višje vrednosti stabilnosti samospoštovanja so se povezovale z nižjimi vrednostmi narcisizma ter višjimi vrednostmi psihološkega blagostanja.Ob primerjanju dveh različnih mer stabilnosti samospoštovanja smo ugotovili prisotnost precenjevanja stabilnosti samospoštovanja pri posameznikih z bolj izraženim narcisizmom.Dobljeni rezultati so bili v skladu s postavljenimi hipotezami.V diskusiji je izpostavljena pomembnost upoštevanja tako stopnje kot stabilnosti samospoštovanja.Izpostavljene so tudi pomanjkljivosti pričujoče raziskave ter možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovanje.
