Description: Parental personality has a potentially large impact on a child’s overall sense of well-being, self-esteem, and overall development. This study will be looking at narcissistic parents and their impact on their adult child’s overall well-being and self-esteem. The purpose of this study will be to discover how narcissistic parenting affects a child’s development. This will provide substantial and beneficial data in order to aid in ways to better parenting as well as aid in the mental health of the parent and their child. The adult children will be asked in a questionnaire about their relationship with their parents, while also asking them about their relationship with themselves, or more specifically, their self-esteem and well-being. These adult children will also be recalling recollection of behavior of a parent of their choosing in order to rate this parent on both types of narcissism through a Likert scale of strongly disagree to strongly agree that they will match to each narcissism type. The types of narcissisms will also be measured by utilizing the two designated psychological scales for both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism. Through these scales and methodology, we are expecting to find out if those that reported having a more narcissistic parent are impacted more negatively in their development in comparison to those who do not have narcissistic parents.
