Abstract: (19 Views)
The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of primary narcissistic traits in the relationship between object relations and symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder. The research method was a descriptive-correlational structural modeling study. The statistical population included students aged 18 to 24 at Tabriz University in the academic year 2023-2024, of whom 350 people were selected as the sample size using multi-stage cluster random sampling. The research instruments included the Adult Oppositional Defiant Disorder Symptoms Self-Report Questionnaire (ASROS-5) by Johnston et al. (2020), the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40) by Ruskin and Hall (1981), and the Bell Object Relations and Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI) by Bell (1995). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicated a favorable fit of the research model. The results indicated a significant direct effect of object relations on the primary narcissistic traits and symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder, as well as a direct effect of the primary narcissistic traits on symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (P<0.01). The results also indirect effect of object relations on symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder through the mediation of the primary narcissistic traits (P<0.01). These results indicate that the primary narcissistic traits, about the role of object relations, can explain the symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder in students.
