Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationships between recognized parental overprotection, covert narcissism and social anxiety among Korean and Chinese adolescents by investigating 496 Korean and Chinese adolescents. First, a positive correlation was found between parent’s overprotection, covert narcissism and social anxiety of Korean and Chinese adolescents. Second, the results showed that there were significant differences in parental overprotection, covert narcissism and social anxiety between the two countries. Third, for Korean adolescents, continuous mediation of covert narcissism was found between adolescents’ recognized parent’s overprotection and their social anxiety. However, for Chinese adolescents, partial mediation of covert narcissism was found between adolescents’ recognized parent’s overprotection and their social anxiety. Based on the results, effective educational and counseling interventions for adolescents with high social anxiety were discussed in terms of parental overprotection and covert narcissism.
