ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of beliefs about emotional expression and experiential avoidance on the relationship between covert narcissism and psychological well-being among adults. The data consisted of 346 (173 male and 173 female) drawn for the in Seoul and Gyeongnam regions. Their self-report data were analyzed using SPSS MACRO PROCESS. The results indicated that the mediating effect of beliefs about emotional expression between covert narcissism and psychological well-being was not significant. However, the mediating effect of experiential avoidance between covert narcissism and psychological well-being was found to be significant. Furthermore, the dual-mediating effect of beliefs about emotional expression and experiential avoidance was also revealed as significant, and covert narcissism directly predicted psychological well-being. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study as well as suggestions for intervention were discussed.
