According to orthodox psychoanalytical theory, narcissism and homosexuality are strongly associated. This association played a major role in pathologizing homosexuality. The present study compared self-esteem and two measures of narcissism among 90 homosexual and 109 heterosexual male students, who filled in a demographic questionnaire, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, which addresses both grandiose and vulnerable subtypes of narcissism. The hypothesis, which is based on the Freudian connection between narcissism and homosexuality, is supported by the results, indicating that the homosexual students score higher in both measures of narcissism and lower on the self-esteem measure, compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Intra-psychic, as well as environmental, interpretations of the results are suggested in the discussion.
根据正统的精神分析理论，自恋和同性恋有很强的关联性。这种关联性在同性恋的病理化过程中起到了主要作用。本研究比较了 90 名同性恋男性和 109 名异性恋男性学生的自尊和两种自恋测量，这些学生填写了人口统计问卷、罗森伯格自尊量表、自恋人格量表和病理性自恋量表，该量表涵盖了自恋的夸大和脆弱两种亚型。这个假设基于弗洛伊德对自恋和同性恋之间的联系，结果支持了这一假设，表明与异性恋学生相比，同性恋学生在两种自恋测量中得分更高，而在自尊测量中得分更低。在讨论中，提出了对内心理和环境的解释。
