Abstract:

 Aims: Although the interpersonal challenges linked to narcissism are well recognized, their expressions in the context of parent-child relationships remain understudied. This study aimed to explore the relationships between perceived maternal narcissism PMN, traits of borderline personality disorder BPD, and anger, as well as the mediating effect of BPD on the relationship between PMN and anger. Methods: The Perceived Maternal Narcissism Scale PMNS, the Borderline Personality Questionnaire BPQ, and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory STAXI self-report scales were administered to a non-clinical sample of 434 adults in Turkiye. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 27, along with Process Macro 4.2. Results: The findings reveal significant correlations among PMN, BPD, and anger. PMN is a strong predictor of trait anger and anger-in and anger-out styles of expression, and BPD mediates each of these relationships. Conclusion: These results align with the broader literature on parent-child relationships, adverse childhood experiences, personality disorders, and emotional expressions, significantly contributing to the existing research by revealing PMNs direct influence on anger and identifying BPD as a key mediator.

 Amaç: Narsisizme bağlı kişilerarası sorunlar iyi bilinmekle birlikte, bu özelliklerin ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkileri bağlamındaki yansımaları yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, anneden algılanan narsisizm AAN, borderline kişilik bozukluğu BKB özellikleri ve öfke arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek ve ayrıca BKB özelliklerinin AAN ile öfke arasındaki ilişkideki aracılık etkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Türkiyede klinik dışı bir örneklemden elde edilen 434 yetişkine, Anneden Algılanan Narsisizm Ölçeği AANÖ, Borderline Kişilik Özellikleri Ölçeği BPQ- Türkçe ve Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke İfade Tarzı Envanteri STAXI- Türkçe uygulanmıştır. Veriler IBM SPSS 27 ve Process Macro 4.2 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: AAN, BKB ve öfke değişkenleri arasında anlamlı korelasyonlar saptanmıştır. AAN, sürekli öfke ile hem içe hem dışa yöneltilmiş öfke ifade tarzlarının güçlü bir yordayıcısıdır. Ayrıca BKB özellikleri bu ilişkilerin her birinde aracılık rolü üstlenmektedir. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular, ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkileri, olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri, kişilik bozuklukları ve duygusal ifadelerle ilgili daha geniş literatürle örtüşürken, AANnin öfke üzerindeki doğrudan etkisini ve BKB özelliklerinin aracılık rolünü ortaya koyarak mevcut araştırmalara önemli bir katkı sunmaktadır.
