Abstract
The purpose of this study is to verify the dual mediating effect of internalized shame and self-criticism in the relationship between covert narcissism and relationship addiction in early adulthood. As a result of applying the structural equation model, first, covert narcissism had a significant effect on internalized shame and self-criticism, internalized shame had a significant effect on self-criticism and relationship addiction, and self-criticism had a significant effect on relationship addiction. Second, in the relationship between covert narcissism and relationship addiction, the single mediating effect of internalized shame and self-criticism and the sequential mediating effect of internalized shame and self-criticism were found to be significant. The significance of this study is that it suggests an intervention method of internalized shame and self-criticism for early adulthood experiencing relationship addiction.
