SUMMARY：

太多夸赞可能“赞”出一个自恋的小孩~~

CONTENT：
Do people become narcissists because their parents are too mean to them or too nice? These opposing theories both have proponents, but it is the latter that gets support from the first long-term study of narcissistic traits in children.
Freudian psychoanalysts were the first to propose that children with cold and unloving parents compensate by loving and praising themselves excessively. But more recently, others have claimed that narcissism arises from the opposite problem – of parents praising their children too much, giving them an inflated sense of their own worth.
This might seem more intuitive, but the cold-parents theory is still alive and well among some psychoanalysts. To test this idea, Eddie Brummelman at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and his colleagues studied 565 children between the ages of 7 to 12, a period that often sees the emergence of narcissistic traits such as selfishness, self-centredness and vanity. "Previous studies were all conducted in adults," says Brummelman. "We wanted to see how [narcissism] develops over time."

参考译文1：

当人们变得自恋究竟是因为他们的父母太过苛刻还是对他们太好？这两个相对立的理论都有其支持者。但是根据第一项有关儿童自恋倾向的长期研究结果，似乎父母对他们太好才是导致他们自恋的原因。
支持佛洛依德学说的心理分析学家们首先提出有着冷酷和缺乏爱心的父母的小孩需要爱和对他们的赞美来补偿。但是根据最近的研究，有人指出导致自恋者增加的因素可能恰好相反——由于父母的过度赞美，孩子们会有一种过度自我膨胀的感觉，这种感觉超越了他们实际具有的价值。
这种想法似乎太凭感觉了，毕竟一些心理分析学家们仍然持有“冷漠家长”理论。为了检验这一想法，荷兰阿姆斯特丹大学的艾迪和他的同事们研究了565个年龄介于7至12岁的小孩，这些孩子都有一段时间经常表现出自恋的特质比如自私，以自我为中心，虚荣心强。“以前的研究都集中于成年人”，艾迪教授说，“我们想研究它（自恋）是如何随着时间发展的。”
