PERSONALITY PROCESSES AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Portrait of the Self-Enhancer: Well Adjusted and Well Liked or Maladjusted and Friendless?

چکیده
Research has variously portrayed self-enhancement as an indicator of narcissistic defensiveness or as a concomitant of mental health. To address this controversy, the present study used multiple measures of self-enhancement along with multiple measures and judges of mental health, comprehensively assessing their relationship. The results indicated that self-enhancement is positively associated with multiple indicators of mental health and with a more favorable impact on others. Discussion centers on a reconciliation of discrepant portraits of the self-enhancer.
