자기애자의 자기관련 정보에 대한 지각적 민감성

Perceptual Sensitivity of Narcissists to Self-Relevant Information

초록

본 연구에서는 외현적 내현적 자기애 특성, 즉 웅대성과 취약성을 모두 보이는 자기애자들이 긍정적 부정적 자기관련 정보에 대해 지각적 정보처리 수준에서 민감성을 보이는지 여부를 검증하였다. 대학생 403명에게 자기애적 성격장애 척도를 실시하여 점수에 따라 상, 중, 하 집단 각 13명을 대상으로 범주판단과제를 시행하였다. 결과 자기애자들은 부정적 자기관련 형용사가 방해자극으로 제시될 때 긍정적 혹은 중성적 형용사 조건에서보다 범주판단이 오래 걸렸다. 이는 부정적 자기관련 자극에 자기애자들이 지각적으로 민감함을 의미하였다.

Abstract

This study investigated the perceptual sensitivity to positive and negative self-relevant information in narcissists who demonstrated both overt (i.e., grandiosity) and covert (i.e., fragility) narcissistic tendencies. Four hundred and three Korean undergraduates completed the Narcissistic Personality Disorder Scale (NPDS; Hwang, 1995). Thirteen students who scored high, average, and low on the NPDS were recruited as high narcissists, average, and low narcissists, respectively. The 39 participants performed a category judgment task that required them to categorize either clothing or reading material related to a noun which was presented for 500 msec on the computer screen, while ignoring a simultaneously presented adjective. The distracting adjectives were either positive self‐relevant, negative self‐relevant, or neutral. Results indicated that high narcissists exhibited extended category judgment time when negative self-relevant adjectives were presented as distracters. This indicated narcissists’ attention was captured by negative adjectives, thereby demonstrating perceptual sensitivity to negative self-relevant information in narcissists.
