Abstract
According to literature and clinical observations, there are some similarities and differences between social anxiety disorder (SAD) and vulnerable narcissism (VN). However, there exist only a limited number of research but on this topic. Thus, in the current study, it was aimed to investigate the similarities and differences in terms of perceived parenting and compensation focused coping styles among groups with low, moderate and high levels of SAD and VN. Parallel with the aim of the study, 357 participants (age: M = 25.72, SD = 9.64; 235 (65.5%) female and 123 (34.5%) male) were examined in terms of their SAD and VN symptoms and they divided into three groups such as high, moderate and low symptom level groups. Then, the groups were examined in terms of their perceived parenting and compensation focused coping styles. According to the results of the study, it was found that whereas high VN symptom level group scored higher in terms of controlling and belittling mother parenting styles than low VN symptom level group, high SAD symptom level group scored higher in terms of controlling mother, belittling mother, and overprotective mother and father parenting styles when compared to low SAD symptom level group. Moreover, high VN symptom level group tended to use more all of the compensation focused coping styles when compared to low VN symptom level group. On the other hand high SAD symptom level group did not differ in terms of the level of using compensation focused coping styles from low SAD symptom level group. In the light of the findings of the study, it was proposed that one of the distinctive features between VN and SAD can be the coping styles that the individuals are applied in their daily lives, and that finding can guide both the clinical applications and research.

Yapılan araştırmalar ve klinik gözlemler kırılgan narsisizm (KN) ve sosyal kaygı bozukluğu (SKB) belirtilerinin benzer ve farklı yönlerinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak alan yazın incelendiğinde, iki psikopatoloji grubunu birlikte çalışan sınırlı sayıda araştırmaya rastlanmaktadır. Bu araştırma kapsamında ise KN ve SKB belirti düzeyleri farklılaşan gruplar, algıladıkları ebeveynlik stilleri ile telafi odaklı olumsuz başa çıkma tarzları açısından karşılaştırılmış, bu araştırmada bireylerin deneyimledikleri ebeveynlik stilleri ve telafi odaklı başa çıkma tarzlarındaki benzer ve farklı yönlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yaş ortalaması 25.72 (S = 9.64) olarak hesaplanan 234 (%65.5) kadın, 123 (%34.5) erkek olmak üzere toplam 357 katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında ilk olarak, katılımcılar KN ve SKB belirti düzeylerine göre düşük, orta ve yüksek belirti düzeyi gruplarına ayrılmışlardır. İkinci olarak, gruplar arasında ebeveynlik stilleri ve telafi odaklı olumsuz başa çıkma tarzlarına ilişkin farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, KN belirti düzeyi yüksek olan bireyler kuralcı/kalıplayıcı anne, küçümseyici/kusur bulan anne ebeveynlik stilleri, SKB belirti düzeyleri yüksek olan bireyler ise kuralcı/kalıplayıcı anne, küçümseyici/kusur bulan anne ve aşırı koruyucu/evhamlı anne ve baba ebeveynlik stilleri açısından belirti düzeyi düşük olan gruplara kıyasla daha yüksek puan almışlardır. Ayrıca KN belirti düzeyi yüksek olan bireylerin tüm telafi odaklı tüm başa çıkma tarzlarını düşük gruba kıyasla daha fazla kullandığı, telafi odaklı başa çıkma tarzlarını kullanma düzeyinin SKB belirti düzeyi yüksek ve düşük olan gruplar arasında ise farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür. Bu araştırma ile klinik görünüm açısından birbirine oldukça benzer iki psikopatolojinin ayırt edici özelliklerinden birinin bireylerin kullandıkları başa çıkma tarzları olabileceği bulgusuna ulaşılmış ve bu bulgunun tanı koyma ve tedavi süreçlerinde klinisyenlere ve araştırmacılara yol gösterebileceği öngörülmüştür.
