Abstract：
Prior research has separately investigated the associations of autonomy-supportive parenting and narcissism with adolescents\' prosocial behavior, but their joint relationships with prosocial behavior have been rarely examined. The present research aimed to expand the existing literature by scrutinizing the main and interactive associations of autonomy-supportive parenting and narcissism with adolescents\' prosocial behavior. In so doing, a series of four studies (collectively N = 2023), combining cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs, were conducted. The adolescents\' mean age varied from 12.42 to 15.70 years, with a balanced representation of the sexes in those studies. Converging results across four studies showed that high narcissism magnified the positive association between autonomy-supportive parenting and adolescents\' prosocial behavior. The interaction pattern presented also suggested adolescents with high narcissism scores were more affected than others-both for better and for worse-by autonomy-supportive parenting, although this interaction might be specific to particular facets of prosocial behavior. These results were robust after adjusting for a few key covariates and survived a set of additional analyses. The present findings provide a novel avenue to explain individual differences linking prosocial behavior with those two factors and further advance precise, individualized strategies to promote adolescents\' prosocial behavior.
摘要：
先前的研究分别调查了自主-支持父母和自恋与青少年亲社会行为的关联，但是他们与亲社会行为的联合关系很少被研究。本研究旨在通过审查自主支持性育儿和自恋与青少年亲社会行为的主要和互动关联来扩展现有文献。这样做,一系列四项研究(统称N=2023)，结合横截面，纵向,和实验设计，进行了。青少年的平均年龄从12.42岁到15.70岁不等，在这些研究中性别的均衡代表。四项研究的融合结果表明，高度自恋放大了自主性支持父母与青少年亲社会行为之间的正相关关系。所呈现的互动模式还表明，自恋得分高的青少年比其他人受到更大的影响-无论是更好还是更糟-通过自主性支持的父母教养，尽管这种互动可能特定于亲社会行为的特定方面。在调整了几个关键协变量后，这些结果是稳健的，并且在一组额外的分析中幸存下来。目前的发现提供了一个新的途径来解释将亲社会行为与这两个因素联系起来的个体差异，并进一步推进精确的，促进青少年亲社会行为的个性化策略。
