This research identifies the childhood personality characteristics that predict the presence of narcissism in adulthood. Using data from the longitudinal study of Block and Block (The California Child Q-set. Palo Alto, CA: Consulting Psychologists Press, 1980), childhood personality characteristics were assessed at age 11 (N = 100) using the California Child Q-set. A number of these were shown to differentially predict the presence of grandiose or vulnerable narcissism at age 23. Factor analyses of the Child Q-set items showed that the presence of Grandiose Narcissism was positively related to childhood factors representing social presence and negatively related to planfulness. In contrast, vulnerable narcissism was positively related to childhood impulsivity and negatively related to stable self-esteem. Both types of narcissism were positively related to childhood factors representing need for control.
本研究确定了能够预测成年期自恋倾向的童年人格特征。利用布洛克和布洛克纵向研究（《加利福尼亚儿童Q分类法》。加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托：咨询心理学家出版社，1980年）的数据，在11岁时（N = 100）使用加利福尼亚儿童Q分类法对童年人格特征进行了评估。其中一些特征被证明能够差异预测23岁时夸大或脆弱型自恋的存在。对儿童Q分类法项目的因素分析表明，夸大型自恋的存在与代表社交表现的童年因素呈正相关，与计划性呈负相关。相比之下，脆弱型自恋与童年冲动性呈正相关，与稳定的自尊呈负相关。两种类型的自恋都与代表控制需求的童年因素呈正相关。
