We examined how the perception of past events might contribute to the understanding of vulnerable narcissism. Across seven samples (N_Grand = 1271), we investigated the association between vulnerable narcissism and individual differences in negative view of the past as well as how both were associated with basic personality traits, intrapersonal (i.e., affect, life satisfaction, and self-esteem) and interpersonal (i.e., anger, and hostility) outcomes, and memory biases of immediate life events and early life traumas. We found that vulnerable narcissism was reliably correlated with a negative view of the past. Additionally, both variables showed similar personality profiles (e.g., high neuroticism) and overlapped in explaining various outcomes, including self-esteem, anger, hostility, recalled traumas, and a negative memory bias.

我们研究了对过去事件的看法如何有助于理解脆弱的自恋。跨越七个样本（N _Grand = 1271），我们调查了脆弱自恋与过去负面看法的个体差异之间的关联，以及两者与基本人格特质、内在（即情感、生活满意度和自尊）和人际关系（即、愤怒和敌意）结果，以及直接生活事件和早期生活创伤的记忆偏差。我们发现脆弱的自恋与对过去的负面看法可靠相关。此外，这两个变量显示出相似的人格特征（例如，高度神经质）并且在解释各种结果时重叠，包括自尊、愤怒、敌意、回忆创伤和负面记忆偏差。
