Various studies have demonstrated associations between personality disorders and relationship satisfaction. The authors examine the associations between attention seeking and grandiosity, both features of narcissistic personality disorder, and relationship satisfaction before and after the transition to parenthood. The authors then expand their analysis to parental satisfaction and postpartum depression (PPD). Nonclinical couples (N = 103 couples) expecting their first child completed measures of grandiosity, attention seeking, and relationship satisfaction before birth, and of relationship satisfaction, parental satisfaction, and PPD symptoms 3 months afterward. Attention seeking was associated with less parental satisfaction and more PPD symptoms, and with less prepartum relationship satisfaction for participants' partners. For men, attention seeking was also associated with prepartum relationship satisfaction. Grandiosity was associated with a decrease in relationship satisfaction after birth, although, surprisingly with fewer PPD symptoms for participants' partners. The authors discuss how these findings might be related to changes in social support and work-life balance during the transition to parenthood.

夫妻自恋：注意力寻求和过分乐观对夫妻过渡为父母的经历的影响。

各种研究表明，人格障碍和关系满意度之间存在关联。作者研究了注意力寻求和夸大之间的联系，这两种自恋型人格障碍的特征，以及父母过渡之前和之后的关系满意度。然后，作者将他们的分析扩展到父母满意度和产后抑郁症（PPD）。非临床夫妇（N = 103对）预期他们的第一个孩子在出生前完成对大度，寻求注意力和关系满意度的测量，以及在三个月后完成关系满意度，父母满意度和PPD症状的测量。寻求注意力与父母满意度降低和PPD症状增多以及参与者伴侣的产前关系满意度降低相关。对于男人来说 寻求注意力也与产前关系满意度有关。出生率高与出生后关系满意度下降有关，尽管令人惊讶的是，参与者伴侣的PPD症状更少。作者讨论了这些发现如何与过渡为父母的过程中的社会支持和工作与生活平衡的变化相关。
