Emotional dependency consists of an extreme affective need that manifests pathologically, such that it has been established that the partners of emotionally dependent individuals exhibit narcissistic traits. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional dependency, the narcissistic traits of a romantic partner, and psychological abuse, in addition to examining the sex differences in the first two variables. This study included 271 subjects (144 women and 127 men) between the ages of 18 and 66 ( = 36.9; = 14.748). This study compared individuals with and without emotional dependency, finding that those with emotional dependency reported more narcissistic partners. Furthermore, psychological abuse was positively correlated with the narcissism of the partner. There were no significant sex differences in emotional dependency or in the exhibition of narcissistic traits. The importance of examining the connections between emotional dependency, the narcissistic traits of a romantic partner, and the potential for psychological abuse within these relationships are highlighted.
情感依赖由一种极端的情感需求构成，这种需求以病态形式表现出来，以至于已经证实情感依赖个体的伴侣表现出自恋特质。本研究旨在考察情感依赖、浪漫伴侣的自恋特质与心理虐待之间的关系，此外还考察前两个变量中的性别差异。本研究纳入了271名年龄在18岁至66岁之间的受试者（144名女性和127名男性）（平均年龄 = 36.9岁；标准差 = 14.748）。本研究对有情感依赖和无情感依赖的个体进行了比较，发现有情感依赖的个体报告称其伴侣更自恋。此外，心理虐待与伴侣的自恋呈正相关。在情感依赖或自恋特质的表现方面没有显著的性别差异。强调了考察情感依赖、浪漫伴侣的自恋特质以及这些关系中心理虐待可能性之间联系的重要性。
