본 연구는 외현적 자기애와 내현적 자기애로 자기애 하위 유형을 구분하여 각 하위 유형의 자존감 불안정성을 비교하였다. 대학생 345명 중 외현적 자기애 집단, 내현적 자기애 집단, 통제 집단을 선발한 후 일상적인 자존감 수준, 평가적 피드백이 주어지는 가상 상황에서의 자존감 수준, 일일보고과제를 통해 실생활에서 주요 사건에 따른 자존감 변화를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 평가적 피드백 시나리오 상황에서 자기애성향자들은 통제 집단보다 유의미하게 큰 자존감 변화를 보고하였고, 그 정도는 내현적 자기애성향자들이 외현적 자기애성향자들보다 더 컸다. 일일보고과제에서는 내현적 자기애성향자들이 외현적 자기애 집단과 통제 집단에 비해 더 큰 자존감 변화를 보이는 경향성이 있었으나 집단 간 차이가 유의미하지 않았다. 본 연구에서 관찰된 자기애성향자들의 자존감 불안정성을 이전의 임상적 관찰 및 경험적 연구 결과에 비추어 논의하였고, 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점을 논의하였다.
In this study, the self-esteem instability of overt and covert narcissists was investigated. Thirty-three overt narcissists, 45 covert narcissists, and 67 controls were selected from 345 college students. The self-esteem scale along with scenario questionnaires was administered to evaluate self-esteem instability under virtual situations where evaluative feedback was given. Lastly, to evaluate self-esteem instability in natural situations, the three groups were asked to send in a diary by e-mail detailing their major life events and self-esteem every night for 5 days. Under the context of virtual evaluative feedback, covert narcissists showed significantly higher self-esteem than the overt narcissists and both narcissistic groups showed significantly higher self-esteem compared to controls. In natural situations, although not statistically significant, narcissist groups showed a tendency of exhibiting unstable self-esteem compared to controls, and the highest instability was present in covert narcissists. The results of this study are discussed from the perspective of clinical observation and advanced research. The key findings and limitations of the present study are also discussed.
