The present research examined whether the associations that narcissistic personality features had with exercise addiction were mediated by particular motives for engaging in exercise in a large Israeli community sample ( = 2629). The results revealed that each aspect of narcissism was positively associated with exercise addiction. Narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry had similar positive indirect associations with exercise addiction through the interpersonal motive for exercise. However, these aspects of narcissism diverged in their indirect associations with exercise addiction through psychological motives, body-related motives, and fitness motives for exercise such that these indirect associations were for narcissistic admiration but for narcissistic rivalry. Narcissistic vulnerability had positive indirect associations with exercise addiction through body-related motives and fitness motives that were similar to those observed for narcissistic admiration. These results suggest that exercise-related motives may play important roles in the associations that narcissistic personality features have with exercise addiction. The discussion will focus on the implications of these results for understanding the complex connections between narcissism and exercise addiction.
本研究在一个大型以色列社区样本（N = 2629）中检验了自恋型人格特征与运动成瘾之间的关联是否通过参与运动的特定动机介导。结果显示，自恋的各个方面都与运动成瘾呈正相关。自恋式钦佩和自恋式竞争通过运动的人际动机与运动成瘾有着相似的正向间接关联。然而，自恋的这些方面在通过运动的心理动机、身体相关动机和健身动机与运动成瘾的间接关联上有所不同，即这些间接关联在自恋式钦佩方面是正向的，而在自恋式竞争方面是负向的。自恋易感性通过身体相关动机和健身动机与运动成瘾有着正向间接关联，这与自恋式钦佩所观察到的情况相似。这些结果表明，与运动相关的动机可能在自恋型人格特征与运动成瘾之间的关联中发挥重要作用。讨论将聚焦于这些结果对于理解自恋与运动成瘾之间复杂联系的意义。
