Abstract

This study investigates the interrelationship between an anthropophobic tendency and narcissistic personality in adolescence. Previous research has proposed that anthropophobia and narcissistic personality disorders can be classified into subtypes. In recent studies, Okano (1998) suggested that the relationship between an anthropophobic tendency and narcissistic personality should be explained in terms of two dimensions (two-dimension model), instead of one dimension (one-dimension model). Questionnaires were administered to 305 adolescents who were enrolled in a university. In analysis 1, the relationship between an anthropophobic tendency and narcissistic personality, which are both within normal limits of anthropophobia and narcissism in adolescence, was examined with a two-dimension model. In analysis 2, the characteristics of self-consciousness and adaptiveness in adolescence, which were classified using a two-dimension model, were examined. The results were as follows: (1) an anthropophobic tendency and narcissistic personality could be explained with a two-dimension model; and (2) the characteristics of five subtypes were revealed in detail.
