감사와 자기애가 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of Gratitude and Narcissism on Psychological Well-Being

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of gratitude and narcissism on the psychological well-being of university students. Study 1 explores the correlation of gratitude, narcissism and psychological well-being and investigates the possibility of how narcissism might act as a moderate effects in light of these relationships. The results showed that gratitude was statically correlated with both psychological well-being and narcissism. Moreover, there was a significant interaction effect between gratitude and narcissism, a result which supports the hypothesis that gratitude's effect on psychological well-being depends on levels of narcissism.
Study 2 describes the development of a training program to increase levels of gratitude in university students. This was delivered to participants over an eight day experimental training period. The results of this procedure suggest that the gratitude training may be a powerful mechanism for raising and maintaining psychological well-being, but that its potency can be moderated and reduced by high levels of narcissism
In addition, this study found that, due to an overstated sense of self importance, individuals with a high level of narcissism exhibited weaker levels of gratitude and less affinity for other people, society, and environments in the promotion of their psychological well-being. The tendency of narcissistic people to attribute events directly to their own ability and effort relates to the inhibition of gratitude, in that the experience of gratitude requires that one recognize the contributions of others. In this way, these results experimentally support Farwell‘s theory that high narcissists take their attentional focus off the other-oriented attributions necessary for gratitude. This paper closes with a discussion of the links between narcissistic attribution tendencies and gratitude and the effects of gratitude enhancement on psychological well-being.
