Parents who consider their kids to be "more special than other children" and feel that they "deserve something extra in life" may now be characterized not only as annoying, but also as responsible for bringing one more self-important narcissist into society.
New research out of the Netherlands published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that children who were overvalued by their parents scored higher on tests to identify narcissism(自恋)than their peers.
"Children believe it when their parents tell them that they are more special than others. That may not be good for them or for society," Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and an Ohio State University professor, said in a statement.
Eddie Brummelman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and another author on the study, noted that parents often think telling children how special they are compared with their peers will boost their self-confidence. But narcissism is not just a more extreme form of self-confidence: people with high-esteem do not think they’re better than others. According to his research, the more narcissistic children did not necessarily express more self-confidence. " Rather than raising self-esteem, overvaluing practices may inadvertently raise levels of narcissism," Brummelman said.
Over two years, the team evaluated 565 children in the Netherlands who were between the ages of 7 and 11 years old when the study began. They asked parents how much they agreed with statements like, "My child is a great example for other children to follow," and whether or not they believed their children would have knowledge of various historical and cultural figures and topics, like " Neil Armstrong. " Eventually, the researchers began including entirely fictional figures and topics, " Queen Alberta. " The parents raising little narcissists would often fall for it. "Overvaluing parents tended to claim that their children had knowledge of many different topics—even these nonexistent ones," Brummelman said.
While parental " overvaluing" was associated with narcissistic offspring, parental warmth was not. Children of parents who expressed warmth by telling their children they loved them, but who did not engage in "overvaluing" behavior, were more likely to agree with statements that suggested they were "happy with themselves as a person and liked the kind of person they were. " In short, parental warmth appears to be closely linked to self-confident kids, not narcissistic kids. The researchers conclude that expressing warmth is key to promoting healthy self-confidence in children.
Bushman, who is a father of three children, said his research has made him rethink his own parenting style. " When I first started doing this research in the 1990s, I used to think my children should be treated like they were extra-special. I’m careful not to do that now," he said.
In the passage, the author______.
选项
A、clears up an education concept
B、reports a stunning discovery
C、emphasizes parents’ responsibility
D、probes into a psychological issue
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。定位句指出,新研究表明过高评价孩子,经常对孩子说他们比别人特别,这种做法会造成孩子自恋。在文章最后研究者本人也指出,自己从前也有这样的误区,而文章提到的研究澄清了这个误解。可见,本文作者澄清了一个教育理念,故答案为A)。B)“报告一个令人震惊的发现”,新研究的发现虽然推翻了以往的传统说法,但不可用“令人震惊的”来形容,故排除;C)“强调父母的责任”,说法过于笼统,没有说明是哪方面的责任,故排除;D)“探究一个心理问题”,本文提到的研究虽然与心理问题有关,但其结论已经得出,可见,文章的主要目的不是进行探究,故排除。
