本研究采用元分析技術探討自戀與攻擊性的關系。通過文獻檢索和篩選, 共納入原始文獻121篇, 含177個獨立樣本, 參與者總數達73687名。元分析的結果顯示, 自戀與攻擊性存在顯著正相關, 二者關系受性別和自戀報告方式的調節, 但不受攻擊性報告方式和文化的調節。同時, 不同類型的自戀與攻擊性呈現出不同的相關程度, 內隱自戀與攻擊性的相關程度高于外顯自戀, 非適應性自戀與攻擊性的相關程度高于適應性自戀。后續的研究應加強自戀測量的準確性, 注重探討不同類型自戀與不同類型攻擊性的關系。

自戀, 攻擊性, 元分析

1 問題提出

攻擊和暴力是全球普遍存在的公共衛生問題, 給個體、家庭和社會帶來了巨大的傷害。傳統觀點認為低自尊是導致攻擊性問題的重要原因, 但有研究者提出攻擊性可能來自“受威脅的自我主義”, 即夸大、自戀的自我觀受到威脅, 而不是低自尊本身(Barry et al., 2007; Baumeister et al., 1996)。諸多研究表明自戀與攻擊性呈正相關(Rasmussen, 2016), 但這種關系的強度在各研究中差異較大(Kim et al., 2008; Kokkinos et al., 2016; Tanrikulu & Erdur-Baker, 2019)。另外, 還有研究結果顯示自戀與攻擊性不存在相關性(Ojanen et al., 2012)。Rasmussen (2016)對自戀與激發性攻擊的關系進行了元分析, 但該研究沒有將無端性攻擊納入元分析, 也沒有探索文化對自戀與攻擊性關系的影響。因此, 為了進一步理清自戀與攻擊性的關系, 我們納入基于中國樣本的研究, 對自戀和攻擊性的關系進行綜合元分析, 以期加深對二者關系理解的一致性。

1.1 自戀與攻擊性的關系

諸多研究發現自戀與攻擊性呈正相關。最廣泛用于解釋自戀和攻擊性關系的理論為受威脅的自我主義模型, 基于該模型, 自戀者往往需要通過他人的欽佩和肯定來確認自己不切實際的積極自我觀和強烈的優越感, 當他們脆弱的積極自我觀受到威脅時, 其內部評價和外部評價之間產生了差異, 這種差異會導致他們對自我威脅的根源產生負面情緒和敵意, 他們拒絕降低自我評價, 因而助長了攻擊性(Baumeister et al., 1996)。

自戀暴怒理論認為, 與非自戀者相比, 自戀者對人際事件的反應更加強烈, 報告出更多的情緒變化和更高的情緒強度(Rhodewalt et al., 1998), 當自戀者受到威脅時, 會產生羞恥、憤怒、焦慮等負面情緒, 進而導致其攻擊性增強(Krizan & Johar, 2015; Rhodewalt & Morf, 1998)。

自戀的心理動力學面具模型指出, 自戀者所表達的積極自我觀不是完全真實的, 而是作為一種“面具”來掩飾自己潛在的低自尊(Zeigler-Hill & Besser, 2013)。基于這一模型, 攻擊性可以被理解為潛在低自尊的公開表達(Barnett & Powell, 2016)。自戀的動態自我調節加工模型也認為, 自我調節加工是為了建立或維持期望的自我并滿足自我評價需求而進行的有動機的自我建構。雖然自戀者的自我概念很浮夸, 但也非常脆弱, 這種脆弱性驅使自戀者不斷激勵自己通過各種個人機制和人際機制來維持他們膨脹的自尊。原則上可以通過多種方式來應對這種脆弱性, 比如通過回避行為將負面結果降至最低; 通過親和與友好行為來獲得社會認可和支持; 通過自我提升使積極結果最大化。自戀者似乎選擇了自我提升的形式, 他們為了證實浮夸的自我觀點, 達到預期的積極結果, 不管人際代價多大, 仍會采取攻擊的方式提升自我, 旨在先發制人地降低失敗的可能性或避免消極的后果(Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001)。綜上所述, 自戀者的攻擊性反應是調節情緒、認知、動機和行為的一種適應性機制(Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001; Washburn et al., 2004)。

還有一些研究發現自戀和攻擊性不相關。有研究指出, 當自戀個體具有高自尊時, 在面對威脅信息后的反應不會那么具有攻擊性, 而且可能會在察覺到自己輕微的反應后表現出更具建設性的行為(Hart, Richardson, & Tortoriello, 2018)。也有研究認為自戀與性格攻擊性(dispositional aggression)無關, 而是對自我威脅有攻擊性反應, 只要自戀者的優越感不被干擾, 他們會認為沒有必要表現出攻擊性(Jones & Neria, 2015)。

1.2 調節變量

第一, 自戀和攻擊性存在性別差異, 因此有必要考慮性別在自戀和攻擊性關系中的調節作用。就自戀而言, 研究發現男性的自戀水平往往高于女性(Grijalva et al., 2015)。就攻擊性而言, 大多數的經驗證據表明, 男性比女性更具有攻擊性(Knight et al., 2002)。Wallace等人(2012)的研究發現, 相比于女性, 男性的自戀與攻擊性的關系更強。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H1：性別能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

第二, 報告的類型可能會影響自戀與攻擊性的關系。以往自戀和攻擊性的研究多采用自我報告的形式, 但自我報告容易受到社會期望的影響(Wallace et al., 2012), 尤其當問題涉及到社會無法接受的行為或特征時, 容易出現回答偏差。因此, 較于自我報告的攻擊性, 自戀可能更與他人報告和行為測量的攻擊性相關。另外, 自戀程度高的個體往往能夠意識到自己的性格不能得到社會的高度評價(Carlson et al., 2011), 因此, 他們可能在必要時故意偽造自我報告(Heinze et al., 2020), 導致他人報告的自戀比自我報告的自戀與攻擊性的相關程度更高。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H2a：自戀的報告方式能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系; 假設H2b：攻擊性的報告方式能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

第三, 文化也可能會影響自戀與攻擊性的關系。面子是與集體主義文化相關的概念, 較于個人主義文化, 集體主義文化背景下的個體更為重視面子的保護, 更加在乎他人對自己的看法(Hofstede & Hofstede, 2005/2010; Bond, 2010)。因此, 在面對威脅時, 集體主義文化中的自戀個體更可能采用攻擊行為以保護自己的形象。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H3：文化能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

第四, 并不是所有類型的自戀都會表現出攻擊性(Alexander et al., 2020)。Wink (1991)按照心理動力理論將自戀分為外顯自戀與內隱自戀, 又分別稱為浮夸型自戀和脆弱型自戀。外顯自戀的特點是具有夸大的自我表現欲、公開地表達特權感、相信自己具有獨特的能力和優越性并專注于從別人那里得到贊賞和關注, 而內隱自戀是一種更加隱蔽的自戀, 具有過于看重他人對自己的評價、缺乏自信、對批評和拒絕等威脅極度敏感的特點(Barry et al., 2015; Besser & Priel, 2010; Fan et al., 2016; Houlcroft et al., 2012)。這兩種自戀都有傲慢和自我中心的核心特征, 但后者更易表現出防御性(Barry & Kauten, 2014), 具有更多的不適應特征(Fan et al., 2016)。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H4a：自戀類型(外顯自戀vs.內隱自戀)能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

此外, 根據適應功能可將自戀分為適應性自戀和非適應性自戀。自戀的適應性成分評估了個體的權威性、領導力和自我滿足, 與自信、獨立等品質有關, 與社會適應不良幾乎沒有聯系(Amad, 2015; Raskin & Terry, 1988), 且高適應性自戀個體的自控力較好; 而自戀的非適應性成分評估了個體的特權感、剝削感和自我表現, 通常與敵意、難以延遲滿足等有關, 且高非適應性自戀個體的理想自我與現實自我相差較大(Rhodewalt & Morf, 1995), 自控力較差(Ackerman et al., 2011)。因此, 較于適應性自戀, 非適應性自戀與攻擊性可能具有更強的相關性。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H4b：自戀類型(適應性自戀vs.非適應性自戀)能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

第五, 攻擊性的多維度結構也可能會影響自戀與攻擊性的相關強度。首先, 根據攻擊的意圖可將攻擊分為主動性攻擊和反應性攻擊。受威脅的自我主義模型認為, 自戀只是在個體受到自我威脅后才與攻擊性存在相關(Thomaes, Bushman et al., 2008), 描述了反應性攻擊的過程, 隱含著反應性攻擊和主動性攻擊之間的區別。Baumeister等人(2000)指出, 只要沒有受到自我威脅, 自戀者與非自戀者在攻擊性方面沒有很大差異。因此, 相對于主動性攻擊, 自戀與反應性攻擊的相關性可能更強。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H5a：攻擊性類型(主動性攻擊vs.反應性攻擊)能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

其次, 按照攻擊形式可將攻擊分為直接攻擊和間接攻擊。相比于直接攻擊, 自戀者可能更傾向于使用間接攻擊, 因為間接攻擊的隱蔽性特點給自戀者一種錯覺, 即盡管自戀者做出了傷害行為, 但呈現在他人面前的仍是其積極的一面, 有助于他們保持較高的社會地位(Bukowski et al., 2009; Golmaryami & Barry, 2010), 而直接攻擊可能會破壞一個人的社交網絡(Klimstra et al., 2014), 不利于自戀者維持或加強自己的統治地位。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H5b：攻擊性類型(直接攻擊vs.間接攻擊)能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

再次, Buss和Perry提出的攻擊性問卷(Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, BPAQ)將攻擊性分為4個方面：言語攻擊、身體攻擊、敵意和憤怒, 其中身體攻擊和言語攻擊代表攻擊性的直接形式, 憤怒和敵意分別代表攻擊性的情緒和認知成分。內隱自戀個體對他人的評價非常敏感, 因而他們不會輕易公開表達自己的攻擊性傾向, 但是由于他們具有一種特權感, 往往忽視他人(Wink, 1991), 在沒有得到自認為應得的特別關注時, 容易產生憤怒和敵意(Okada, 2010)。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H5c：攻擊性類型(敵意vs.憤怒vs.言語攻擊vs.身體攻擊)能夠調節內隱自戀和攻擊性的關系。

最后, 攻擊性可分為外顯攻擊和關系攻擊。有研究指出女性比男性更重視社會交往中的關系問題, 因此女性更傾向于采用關系攻擊以達到最大傷害效果, 而男性更重視社會支配性, 因而更傾向于采用外顯攻擊(Crick et al., 1997)。已有研究發現, 自戀與女性的關系攻擊相關, 而與男性的關系攻擊無關(Marsee et al., 2005)。綜上, 提出本研究的假設H5d：性別和攻擊性類型(外顯攻擊vs.關系攻擊)的交互作用能夠調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。

2 研究方法

2.1 文獻檢索與篩選

在中國知網、維普、萬方、Web of Science、Elsevier、Wiley和Pubmed數據庫檢索篇名、摘要或關鍵詞中包含“自戀/narcissistic/narcissism”聯合“攻擊/aggressive/aggression”、“暴力/violent/violence”、“欺負/bullying/cyberbulling”的文獻。檢索時間范圍為：1965～2021年, 最后一次的檢索時間為2021年2月22日, 共檢索到文獻1200篇。

使用Endnote X9導入文獻并按照以下標準篩選：(1)報告了自戀和攻擊性總分或維度之間的零階相關系數; (2)報告了樣本量; (3)必須為實證研究, 綜述性研究被排除; (4)對測量工具有明確的介紹; (5)重復數據僅選擇信息更為充分的; (6)調查情境為正常的生活環境, 排除戰爭環境; (7)排除以自殺為攻擊性結果的研究, 本元分析的攻擊對象針對的是他人而不是自我; (8)狀態自戀是指因為特定情境引起對自身重要性及自我形象暫時性夸大的狀態(楊晨晨等, 2016)。集體自戀是一種認為自己所在的群體具有獨特性, 但沒有得到他人充分認可的信念(de Zavala, & Lantos, 2020)。限于國內外關于集體自戀和狀態自戀與攻擊性關系的文獻較少, 而元分析研究需要有全面且系統的文獻來支撐(丁鳳琴, 趙虎英, 2018), 因此, 本元分析主要探討了個體水平上的特質自戀對攻擊性的影響, 排除了狀態自戀和集體自戀。文獻篩選流程見圖1。最終共納入177個獨立研究, 樣本量共計73687。

2.2 文獻編碼

對作者信息、出版年份、發表類型、樣本量、參與者特征(參與者類型、男性比、年齡)、文化背景、自戀和攻擊性的測量工具、自戀和攻擊性的報告方式(見表1)進行編碼。自戀總分及各個維度與攻擊性總分及各個維度的相關系數納入編碼, 獨立樣本編碼一次, 若一篇論文報告了多個獨立樣本, 則分開編碼; 若原始文獻只報告了自戀和攻擊性各個維度的相關系數或不同實驗條件下(實驗條件非本研究關注的調節變量)的相關系數, 則通過轉換為后求均分, 然后再轉為相關系數錄入; 若實驗條件為本研究關注的調節變量, 則分別進行編碼。

文化個人主義得分來自于Hofstede (2021)的數據庫, 參考以往的研究(Cheng et al., 2021), 得分在50分或以上的國家被歸為個人主義國家, 得分低于50分的國家被歸為集體主義國家。

有些工具分別測量了內隱自戀和外顯自戀兩種形式的自戀, Pincus等人的病理性自戀問卷(Pathological Narcissism Inventory, PNI)及鄭涌和黃藜的自戀人格問卷就是典型的代表。但很多量表沒有說明所測量的自戀屬于外顯自戀或內隱自戀, 參考以往的研究(Gnambs & Appel, 2018; Grijalva et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2016; 陳媛媛, 2018), 自戀人格問卷(Narcissistic Personality Inventory, NPI)是外顯自戀的典型例子, 因此, 54個條目、40個條目、16個條目、13個條目、37個條目版本的NPI, 以及NPI的兒童版Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire for Children (NPQC)和Narcissistic Personality Inventory– Children (NPIC)、Jonason和Webster的黑暗十二條(Dirty Dozen, DD)的自戀分量表也被歸類為外顯自戀的衡量標準。此外, 我們還將如下的測量工具歸為外顯自戀：Jones和Paulhus的短式黑暗三聯征量表(Short Dark Triad, SD3)的自戀分量表; 米隆臨床多軸問卷第三版(Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-Ⅲ, MCMI-Ⅲ)的自戀型人格障礙分量表; First等人的人格障礙診斷問卷(Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-Ⅳ Axis Ⅱ, SCID-Ⅱ)的自戀分量表; Thomaes等人的童年期自戀量表(Childhood Narcissism Scale, CNS); 反社會過程篩查表(Antisocial Process Screening Device, APSD)自評版和他評版; 周暉等人的自戀人格問卷。而Hendin和Cheek的過度敏感自戀量表(Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale, HSNS)則是衡量內隱自戀的典型例子。

2.3 數據處理與分析

采用CMA 3.3 (Comprehensive Meta Analysis Version 3.3)軟件對數據進行元分析的主效應分析和調節效應分析, 調節效應分析采用元回歸分析。

3 研究結果

3.1 同質性檢驗及模型選定

通過對納入的效應量進行同質性檢驗發現,= 1793.44 (< 0.001), 表明結果存在異質性;= 90.19, 表明模型中有約90.19%的觀察變異來自效應值的真實差異, 約9.80%的變異來自隨機誤差,大于75%, 表明結果存在高異質性。因此, 自戀與攻擊性的元分析采用隨機效應模型, 有必要分析調節變量對自戀和攻擊性關系的影響。

3.2 發表偏差

漏斗圖顯示, 自戀與攻擊性關系各效應值大部分集中在頂部且均勻分布在總效應的兩側; Egger直線回歸法顯示,為?0.24,= 0.678。這些結果表明研究結果受出版偏誤的影響較小, 自戀與攻擊性關系的元分析結果較為穩定。

3.3 主效應檢驗

采用隨機模型綜合分析自戀與攻擊性的整體關聯程度, 結果顯示, 自戀和攻擊性的相關系數為0.27, 95% CI [0.25, 0.29]。根據Gignac和Szodorai (2016)的標準, 可以認為本研究中自戀和攻擊性存在中等程度的正相關。

3.4 調節效應檢驗

性別可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。元回歸分析(173個效應值)的結果發現, 男性比對效應值的回歸系數顯著(= 0.10),= 0.026。男性比越高, 自戀和攻擊性的相關系數越高。

如表2所示：(1)自戀報告方式可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系(Q= 5.54,= 0.019), 他人報告的相關系數顯著高于自我報告的相關系數。(2)攻擊性報告方式不能顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系(Q= 1.46,= 0.482)。(3)文化不能顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系(Q= 0.06,= 0.808)。

如表3所示：(1)自戀類型(外顯自戀vs.內隱自戀)可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性總分(Q= 5.46,= 0.019)、憤怒(Q= 31.86,< 0.001)、敵意(Q= 33.09,< 0.001)的關系。相比于外顯自戀, 內隱自戀與攻擊性總分、憤怒、敵意的相關性更強。自戀類型(外顯自戀vs.內隱自戀)不能顯著調節自戀和主動性攻擊(Q= 0.29,= 0.592)、反應性攻擊(Q= 0.132,= 0.716)、身體攻擊(Q= 0.97,= 0.325)、言語攻擊(Q= 0.014,= 0.907)的關系。(2)自戀類型(適應性自戀vs.非適應性自戀)可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系(Q= 5.74,= 0.017)。相比于適應性自戀, 非適應性自戀與攻擊性總分的相關性更強。(3)攻擊性類型(主動性攻擊vs.反應性攻擊)不能顯著調節自戀總分(Q= 0.90,= 0.342)、外顯自戀(Q= 1.15,= 0.284)和內隱自戀(Q= 0.04,= 0.846)與攻擊性的關系。(4)攻擊性類型(直接攻擊vs.間接攻擊)不能顯著調節自戀和攻擊性的關系(Q= 2.66,= 0.103)。(5)攻擊性類型(敵意vs.憤怒vs.言語攻擊vs.身體攻擊)不能顯著調節自戀總分(Q= 0.78,= 0.854)、外顯自戀(Q= 2.74,= 0.433)與攻擊性的關系, 能夠顯著調節內隱自戀與攻擊性的關系(Q= 29.92,< 0.001)。通過配對比較發現, 敵意顯著高于憤怒(= 2.57,= 0.010)、身體攻擊(= 4.53,0.001)和言語攻擊(= 1.61,0.001), 憤怒顯著高于言語攻擊(= 2.15,= 0.032)。(6)性別和攻擊性類型(外顯攻擊vs.關系攻擊)的交互作用對效應值的回歸系數不顯著(= 0.60),= 0.979。

4 討論

4.1 自戀與攻擊性的關系

本研究對檢索后獲得的121項研究進行了元分析, 結果表明自戀與攻擊性存在中等程度的正相關, 與以往的多數研究結果一致, 支持了自戀與攻擊性呈正相關的觀點。

該結果符合自戀的心理動力學面具模型、動態自我調節加工模型和受威脅的自我主義模型的觀點, 自戀者將浮夸的自我感作為面具來掩蓋他們的低自尊(Zeigler-Hill & Besser, 2013), 他們除了表現出對自己有較高的評價之外, 還希望他人對自己的價值表現出同樣高度的評價(Barry et al., 2003; Bushman & Baumeister, 1998; Raskin et al., 1991)。自戀者通過認知和情感的個人內部過程以及人際自我調節策略的動態交互作用來進行自我調節加工, 在尋求評估性反饋的過程中, 不斷將任務視為與他人競爭并展示自己優越性的機會; 希望自己比別人更優越, 對他人產生消極的看法和蔑視; 在極端的情況下, 容易產生憤怒, 甚至產生攻擊性(Bushman & Baumeister, 1998; Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001; Rhodewalt & Morf, 1998)。因此, 攻擊性這種行為層面的極端表現可能在潛在的動機層面起到避免失敗、自我保護和自我提升的作用, 是一種保護自我高度認同的方法(Baumeister et al., 2000; Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001)。

4.2 調節效應分析

本研究發現男性比越高, 自戀與攻擊性的相關性越強, 證實了本研究的假設H1。這表明自戀的男性和女性面對壓力情況的反應方式存在社會化差異(Wallace et al., 2012)。這一結果與以往的研究結果不一致(Rasmussen, 2016), Rasmussen的元分析發現, 性別不能顯著調節自戀與激發性攻擊的關系, 這可能是因為Rasmussen考察的是自戀與激發性攻擊的關系, 因此沒有納入無端性攻擊以及將激發性攻擊和無端性攻擊視為同質結構的研究。有研究指出, 在無端性攻擊條件下, 男性比女性更具有攻擊性, 而挑釁會明顯減弱這種性別差異(Bettencourt & Miller, 1996)。

研究結果顯示, 自戀報告方式可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系, 他人報告的相關系數顯著高于自我報告的相關系數, 證實了假設H2a。自戀者缺乏自我洞察力, 認識不到自己性格上的負性方面, 而其他評定者可能會提供個體在自我報告時不愿意承認或無法感知的特征(Cooper et al., 2012)。

另外, 本研究發現攻擊性報告方式不能顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系, 與研究假設H2b不一致。雖然受社會期望的影響, 自戀者具有隱藏真實自我的傾向, 但也有研究指出, 自戀者并不擔心把自己描繪成攻擊性的, 或者他們不認為攻擊性一定是不適應的(Ang et al., 2011), 有可能會過度報告自己的攻擊行為, 以增強其宏偉的自我形象。另外, 實驗室環境不利于觀察較為隱蔽的攻擊性, 且其他評定者對攻擊性的觀察僅限于特定的環境, 無法接觸到目標個體表現出攻擊性的所有情境(Klimstra et al., 2014)。

研究結果顯示, 文化不能顯著調節自戀和攻擊性的關系, 表明自戀與攻擊性的關系具有跨文化的一致性, 這與本研究的假設H3不一致。一種可能的解釋是, 在個人主義文化背景下, 人們普遍認為使用攻擊性有助于實現個人目標, 增加了對攻擊性的理解和容忍(Amad et al., 2020)。而在集體主義文化背景下, 個體認為自己是嵌入在集體中的, 高度重視集體的需要(Bergeron & Schneider, 2005), 但攻擊性行為違背了合作和人際和諧的目標(Xu et al., 2004), 因此可能得到了抑制。另一種可能的解釋是文化的全球化效應, 隨著全球經濟和社會的發展, 文化呈現出個體主義逐漸增強, 而集體主義相對式微的趨勢(黃梓航等, 2018)。因此, 自戀與攻擊性的關系受文化的影響較小。

研究結果顯示, 自戀類型(外顯自戀vs.內隱自戀)可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系, 相比于外顯自戀, 內隱自戀與攻擊性的關系更強, 證實了本研究的假設H4a。外顯自戀程度高的個體往往性格較為外向, 情緒彈性較強(Miller & Campbell, 2008), 具有良好的人際關系(Fan et al., 2016)。有研究指出, 與外顯自戀相關的高自尊和膨脹的自信對攻擊性有緩沖作用(Knight et al., 2018)。相比之下, 內隱自戀者較為內向, 情緒不穩定, 且充滿消極情緒(Miller & Campbell, 2008), 人際敏感性較強(Miller et al., 2010), 在其脆弱的自尊受到打擊時, 更可能表現出攻擊性(Knight et al., 2018)。

研究結果顯示, 自戀類型(適應性自戀vs.非適應性自戀)可以顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系, 證實了本研究的假設H4b。表明與適應性自戀相比, 非適應性自戀與攻擊性的相關性更強。高適應性自戀個體較少進行消極自我關注(Emmons, 1987), 更加樂觀, 甚至有研究指出適應性自戀是抵抗攻擊性的保護因素(Washburn et al., 2004)。而非適應性自戀個體更傾向于通過攻擊性來獲得期望的支配地位(Golmaryami & Barry, 2010)。

我們的研究發現, 無論是外顯自戀、內隱自戀還是自戀總分, 攻擊性類型(主動性攻擊vs.反應性攻擊)對自戀與攻擊性關系的調節作用均不顯著。這表明自戀不僅會誘發反應性攻擊,也可能為了獲得某些期望的社會地位或關注, 實現對他人的支配, 構建、促進和加強浮夸的自我形象而產生主動性攻擊(Mu?oz et al., 2013)。Raskin等人(1991)認為敵意、浮夸和支配是相互關聯的, 形成了一個連貫的結構系統, 與自戀密切相關, 他們將攻擊性視為自戀者個性的核心特征, 而不是源于特定的過程(Bukowski et al., 2009)。

研究結果并未發現攻擊性類型(直接攻擊vs.間接攻擊)能顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系, 沒有證實本研究的假設H5b。原因可能是, 本元分析納入的直接攻擊和間接攻擊的研究較少, 且Klimstra等人(2014)的研究納入了同伴評價和教師評價的攻擊性, 由于間接攻擊具有隱蔽性的特點, 因此他人評價可能很難發現自戀者的間接攻擊行為。

研究結果顯示, 攻擊性類型(身體攻擊vs.言語攻擊vs.敵意vs.憤怒)能夠顯著調節內隱自戀與攻擊性的關系, 相關程度從高到低分別為敵意、憤怒、身體攻擊和言語攻擊, 基本證實了本研究的假設H5c。雖然內隱自戀者對他人的評價很敏感, 他們不一定會在身體或言語上直接表達自己的攻擊性傾向, 但是他們也存在特權感和忽視他人的傾向(Wink, 1991), 因此, 如果內隱自戀者沒有被視為特殊和重要的人, 便容易感到憤怒和敵意(Okada, 2010)。

研究結果并未發現性別和攻擊性類型(外顯攻擊vs.關系攻擊)的交互作用顯著調節自戀與攻擊性的關系。這可能是因為, 本元分析納入的均為自我報告和他人報告的關系攻擊, 但有研究指出采用觀察法更可能得到女性比男性傾向于關系攻擊的結果, 因為這種研究方法比基于自我、同伴和教師報告的評估方法更不容易因性別刻板印象而產生偏見。另外, 女性比男性更傾向于采用關系攻擊這一結論在美國的研究中較為一致, 但不同的文化背景下, 關系攻擊的含義和功能不同, 因此在其他文化中這一結論并不一致(Crick et al., 2012)。

4.3 研究不足與展望

本研究的不足：(1)不同亞組的樣本量分配不夠均勻, 可能會影響元分析的結果; (2)雖然本元分析初步避免了發表偏差的影響, 但是因為語言的限制, 仍有少數研究沒有納入進本研究; (3)本元分析沒有說明自戀與其他潛在的不良人格特征一起考慮時的情況, 或許攻擊性可以通過自戀與其他特征之間的聯系來解釋(Rasmussen, 2016; Rasmussen & Boon, 2014)。展望：(1)以往研究中的自戀多采用自我報告的方式, 本元分析發現, 自戀的報告方式可以顯著調節自戀和攻擊性的關系, 為了獲得自戀最準確、最完整的信息, 可以使用多個評定者的數據, 對不同的測量方式進行進一步整合; (2)已有的自戀與攻擊性關系研究缺乏對內隱自戀的關注, 本元分析發現, 內隱自戀更可能是攻擊性的危險因素, 因此, 以后的研究應加強對內隱自戀的探討。

5 研究結論

本研究發現自戀與攻擊性之間存在中等程度的正相關; 二者關系受性別和自戀報告方式的調節, 但不受攻擊性報告方式和文化的調節; 不同類型的自戀與攻擊性呈現出不同的相關程度, 內隱自戀與攻擊性的相關程度高于外顯自戀, 非適應性自戀與攻擊性的相關程度高于適應性自戀。

Relationship between narcissism and aggression: A meta-analysis

ZHANG Lihua, ZHU He

(School of Psychology, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China)

Aggression and violence are prevalent public health problems, tremendously harming individuals, families and society. Supposedly, low self-esteem is an important cause of aggression. However, some researchers have suggested that aggression may be attributable to threatened egoism, that is, the inflated and narcissistic view of self that is threatened, rather than low self-esteem itself. Numerous studies have explored the relationship between narcissism and aggression. However, these results appear somewhat inconsistent in different studies. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to explore the strength and moderators of the relationship between narcissism and aggression.

We included Chinese and English literature from 1965 to 2021. A total of 177 independent effect sizes (121 studies, 73687 participants) were found within the criteria of the meta-analysis. On the basis of the characteristics of studies, we selected the random-effects model. After coding the data, independent effect sizes were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 3.3 program.

The results of the funnel plot and Egger test showed no publication bias. Results showed a significant positive correlation (= 0.27, 95% CI [0.25, 0.29]) between narcissism and aggression. Additionally, the moderation analyses revealed that the strength of the relationship was moderated by gender and report modality of narcissism, but not by report modality of aggression and culture. Meanwhile, different types of narcissism related differently to aggression, in that covert narcissism was more positively correlated with aggression compared with overt narcissism, and maladaptive narcissism was more positively correlated with aggression compared with adaptive narcissism.

Based on the meta-analysis, narcissism and aggression were closely related. The mechanisms of aggression must be identified to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies to alleviate the public health problems caused by aggression. Future research could: (1) The present study found that report modality of narcissism plays a moderating role in the relationship between narcissism and aggression. Therefore, to gain insights into the reporters’ bias and obtain accurate and complete information regarding narcissism, the data of multiple reporters can be employed. (2) Overt narcissism and covert narcissism are distinct structures, and the existing studies on the relationship between narcissism and aggression have paid less attention to covert narcissism. The present study found that covert narcissism is more likely to be a risk factor for aggression than overt narcissism. Therefore, future research could strengthen the exploration of covert narcissism.
