Dutch study shows parents may help create their own little narcissists

Dutch News  

Parents who treat their children as ‘special’ who ‘deserve something extra in life’ may be responsible for creating little narcissists, according to new Dutch research. In a study that aimed to find the origins of narcissism, researchers surveyed Dutch parents and 565 children four times over 18 months to see if they could identify which factors led children to have inflated views of themselves. The results showed that parents who ‘overvalued’ their children when the study began ended up with children who scored higher on tests of narcissism later on. ‘Rather than raising self-esteem, overvaluing practices may inadvertently raise levels of narcissism,’ Eddie Brummelen, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam, said in a statement.
