It was their childhood trauma!
Theyre just deeply wounded.
Perhaps youre familiar with these claims when it comes to narcissism.
Narcissism Is Also Moderately Heritable
Parenting styles arent necessarily the sole culprit of narcissism, either.
Studies show that there may be a genetic component involved as well.
For example,a 2014 studyof 304 pairs of twins in China completed measures capturing narcissistic grandiosity and entitlement.
Both traits were found to be moderately heritable.
Why Study the Traits?
One might argue that such studies focus on the traits of narcissism rather than the disorder.
Thus, studying subclinical narcissism may provide preliminary insight into narcissistic personality disorder.
We must wrestle with this complicated reality to better identify and understand narcissistic traits and behaviors.
