The aim of this study is to examine the differential implications of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism for women's adjustment during the transition to motherhood. A total of 385 Israeli women participated in the study during their pregnancy (Time 1) and 2 months postpartum (Time 2). Participants filled out a battery of questionnaires assessing their levels of narcissism (Time 1), the body experience during pregnancy (Time 1) and motherhood (Time 2), their attachment to the fetus (Time 1) and to the baby (Time 2), their anticipated maternal self-efficacy (Time 1) and maternal self-efficacy (Time 2), and their subjective well-being (Time 2). Results suggest that grandiose narcissism was associated with higher levels of well-being at Time 2 through the mediation of both attachment to the infant at Time 1 and bonding to the baby at Time 2 and through positive body experience at Time 2. Vulnerable narcissism was associated with lower levels of well-being at Time 2 through the mediation of body experience and maternal self-efficacy at Time 1 and Time 2 and attachment to the infant at Time 2. These findings point to the significant and differential role of vulnerable and grandiose narcissism in the adjustment to motherhood through the mediating role of early motherhood tasks.

本研究旨在探讨浮夸型和脆弱型自恋对女性在向母亲身份过渡期间的调整所产生的差异影响。共有 385 名以色列女性在怀孕（第 1 次时间点）和产后 2 个月（第 2 次时间点）参与了这项研究。参与者填写了一系列问卷，评估他们的自恋水平（第 1 次时间点）、怀孕期间的身体体验（第 1 次时间点）和成为母亲后的体验（第 2 次时间点）、对胎儿（第 1 次时间点）和婴儿（第 2 次时间点）的依恋、预期的产妇自我效能感（第 1 次时间点）和产妇自我效能感（第 2 次时间点），以及主观幸福感（第 2 次时间点）。研究结果表明，通过第 1 次时间点对婴儿的依恋和第 2 次时间点对婴儿的纽带关系，以及第 2 次时间点的身体体验，浮夸型自恋与较高的幸福感水平在第 2 次时间点相关；通过第 1 次和第 2 次时间点的身体体验、产妇自我效能感和对婴儿的依恋，脆弱型自恋与较低的幸福感水平在第 2 次时间点相关。这些发现表明，在适应母亲身份的过程中，浮夸型和脆弱型自恋通过早期母亲任务的中介作用，扮演着重要且具有差异的角色。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
