Overview

Observational analysis reveals that parental overprotection increases covert narcissism and fear of failure in adolescents, suggesting implications for parenting strategies.

Key Points

  • Parental overprotection indirectly influences adolescents' interpersonal problems through covert narcissism.
  • Higher levels of parental overprotection are linked to increased covert narcissism, with significant implications for social interactions.
  • Paternal overprotection specifically raises fear of failure, which contributes to interpersonal problems in adolescents.
  • Findings highlight the need for parenting education programs to address issues related to covert narcissism and fear of failure.
