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.
Children whose parents appropriately express warmth may______.
选项
A、objectively value others

答案
B
解析
事实细节题。定位句指出,适当表达亲情而又不过高地评价自己孩子的父母,在测试中更赞同“他们的孩子对自己的人生感到幸福和喜欢自己这类的人”这样的话,因此这类孩子具有一种健康的幸福感,故答案为B)。A)“客观地评价他人”,文章只提到父母适当表达亲情的孩子们对自身的感觉,而没有指出他们如何评价他人,故排除;C)“不会变成年轻的自恋者”,此句过于绝对,原文中只是说父母适当地表达亲情不会滋生孩子的自恋倾向,并不能确保孩子一定不会变成自恋者,故排除;D)“喜欢父母对待他们的方式”,文中没有提到这些孩子对父母亲情表达方式的反应,故排除。
