Are You Treated Too Nicely?

A new study found that when trying to build high self-esteem in children, parents may unconsciously be creating little narcissists (自戀狂). 【1】

Parents who are always praising their children may be trying to develop high self-esteem. 【2】 In fact, too much special treatment can lead to narcissistic behavior.

"【3】 That may not be good for them or for society." Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and professor of communication and psychology at the Ohio State University, said in a press release. "People with high self-esteem think they're as good as others, whereas narcissists think they're better than others."

This study, as well as previous studies about parent-child relationships Bushman has worked on, caused him to alter his own parenting style. When he began his research, he thought that children should be treated like they are special by their parents. 【4】 He said that interventions (干預(yù)) can help parents learn how to better support their children.

"Parent training interventions can, for example, teach parents to express affection and appreciation toward children without telling children that they are superior to others," Bushman said. "Future studies should test whether this can work."

A. Now he is careful not to follow that model.

B. Children whose parents tell them they are special are more likely to become narcissists.

C. But actually, they have realized that they are running their children.

D. Children believe it when their parents tell them that they are more special than others.

E. And he carefully carries out the principle.

F. However, the study showed that loving and emotionally warm parents are more likely to have confident kids.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，總是表?yè)P(yáng)孩子的父母可能是在試圖培養(yǎng)孩子的自尊心。然而，研究表明，充滿愛心和情感溫暖的父母更有可能生出自信的孩子。事實(shí)上，過多的特殊待遇會(huì)導(dǎo)致自戀行為。研究人員指出父母培訓(xùn)干預(yù)可以教會(huì)父母表達(dá)對(duì)孩子的喜愛和欣賞，而不必告訴孩子他們比別人優(yōu)越。

【1】上文A new study found that when trying to build high self-esteem in children, parents may unconsciously be creating little narcissists(自戀狂).(一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)試圖在孩子身上建立高度自尊時(shí)，父母可能會(huì)無意識(shí)地培養(yǎng)出小的自戀者)中的“narcissists”可對(duì)應(yīng)到B選項(xiàng)中“become narcissists”，都是在說明父母對(duì)孩子成為自戀者的影響。B選項(xiàng)“父母告訴孩子他們很特別的孩子，更有可能成為自戀者”符合上下文語境。故選B。

【2】根據(jù)上文Parents who are always praising their children may be trying to develop high self-esteem.(總是表?yè)P(yáng)孩子的父母可能是在試圖培養(yǎng)孩子的自尊心)可推知，本句承接上文說明哪些父母可以培養(yǎng)出有自信的孩子，故F選項(xiàng)“然而，研究表明，充滿愛心和情感溫暖的父母更有可能生出自信的孩子”符合上下文語境。故選F。

【3】根據(jù)后文People with high self-esteem think they're as good as others, whereas narcissists think they're better than others.(自尊心強(qiáng)的人認(rèn)為自己和別人一樣好，而自戀者認(rèn)為自己比別人更好)可推知，孩子成為自戀者是因?yàn)楦改父嬖V這些孩子他們比別人更特別，而這些孩子相信了。故D選項(xiàng)“當(dāng)父母告訴孩子們他們比別人更特別時(shí)，孩子們就相信了”符合上下文語境。故選D。

【4】根據(jù)上文This study, as well as previous studies about parent-child relationships Bushman has worked on, caused him to alter his own parenting style. When he began his research, he thought that children should be treated like they are special by their parents. (這項(xiàng)研究，以及之前Bushman所從事的關(guān)于親子關(guān)系的研究，使他改變了自己的育兒方式。當(dāng)他開始他的研究時(shí)，他認(rèn)為孩子應(yīng)該被他們的父母當(dāng)作特殊的人來對(duì)待)可知，Bushman對(duì)親子關(guān)系的研究改變了自己的育兒方式，故他現(xiàn)在開始學(xué)著不去遵循將孩子當(dāng)作特殊的人來對(duì)待的模式了。故A選項(xiàng)“現(xiàn)在他小心翼翼地不去遵循那個(gè)模式”符合上下文語境。故選A。
