Abstract

Childhood maltreatment is a key precursor to vulnerable narcissism since it likely lead to a narcissistic injury that triggers defenses against rage and abandonment. In later life, this pattern may contribute to a maladaptive model of love relationships. The present study explored the association between different types of childhood maltreatment (i.e., emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; physical and emotional neglect) and love addiction via vulnerable narcissism in a community sample of 505 cisgender emerging adults (M = 24.90, SD = 2.67; 76.6% assigned female at birth (AFAB); 68.5% heterosexual) residing in Italy. Data collection relied on self-report questionnaires administered online through the Qualtrics platform, and study hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. The results showed that childhood emotional abuse and emotional neglect directly influenced love addiction, while physical and sexual abuse, as well as physical neglect, showed no significant effects. Greater childhood emotional abuse and neglect were associated with increased vulnerable narcissism, leading to higher levels of love addiction. Gender differences emerged, with the indirect effect of vulnerable narcissism on the relationship between emotional neglect and love addiction significant only for AFAB. The findings emphasize the risk of love addiction in emerging adults with a history of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, highlighting the importance of addressing childhood emotional maltreatment and vulnerable narcissistic personality traits in interventions to treat this condition.

童年情感虐待和忽视对恋爱成瘾的影响:女性和男性成长期自恋的间接影响
童年时期的虐待是易受伤害的自恋的关键前兆,因为它很可能导致自恋伤害,引发对愤怒和遗弃的防御。在以后的生活中,这种模式可能会促成一种适应不良的爱情关系模式。本研究探讨了不同类型的童年虐待(即情感、身体和性虐待;身体和情感忽视)与通过脆弱自恋导致的爱成瘾之间的关系,研究对象是居住在意大利的 505 名顺性新兴成年人(男 = 24.90,女 SD = 2.67;76.6% 出生时为女性;68.5% 为异性恋)。数据收集依赖于通过 Qualtrics 平台在线发放的自我报告问卷,研究假设采用结构方程模型进行检验。结果显示,童年时期的情感虐待和情感忽视会直接影响爱成瘾,而身体虐待、性虐待和身体忽视则没有显著影响。更严重的童年情感虐待和情感忽视与更脆弱的自恋有关,从而导致更高水平的爱成瘾。性别差异显现出来,脆弱自恋对情感忽视与爱成瘾之间关系的间接影响仅对非洲裔美国人有显著影响。这些发现强调了有童年情感虐待和忽视史的新成人的爱情成瘾风险,突出了在干预治疗这种情况时解决童年情感虐待和脆弱自恋人格特质的重要性。
