Narcisismo Grandioso, Narcisismo Vulnerable, Adicción al Ejercicio, Estudiantes Universitarios FilipinosResumen
El objetivo del estudio fue describir los niveles de narcisismo, tanto grandioso como vulnerable, y de adicción al ejercicio entre estudiantes universitarios filipinos, así como investigar la influencia de ambas formas de narcisismo sobre la adicción al ejercicio. Se empleó un diseño cuantitativo predictivo, utilizando un análisis de regresión lineal múltiple para examinar la influencia del narcisismo grandioso y vulnerable sobre la adicción al ejercicio en 103 estudiantes universitarios seleccionados aleatoriamente (edad media = 19,61 ± 1,29 años). Los participantes completaron una encuesta mediante Google Forms que incluía tres instrumentos validados para medir el narcisismo grandioso, el narcisismo vulnerable y la adicción al ejercicio. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes varones presentaron niveles más elevados de narcisismo grandioso (52,72 ± 18,55 frente a 45,29 ± 14,20; t = 2,20; p = 0,030) y de adicción al ejercicio (28,14 ± 6,58 frente a 23,44 ± 7,11; t = 3,43; p < 0,001) en comparación con las mujeres, mientras que los niveles de narcisismo vulnerable fueron similares entre ambos sexos (36,76 ± 11,40 frente a 36,76 ± 12,14; t = 0,001; p = 0,999). Los análisis de regresión revelaron que, entre las mujeres, tanto el narcisismo grandioso como el vulnerable predijeron significativamente la adicción al ejercicio (p < 0,05), mientras que entre los hombres solo el narcisismo grandioso fue un predictor significativo (p < 0,05). En la muestra total, ambas formas de narcisismo surgieron como predictores significativos. Estos hallazgos ponen de manifiesto cómo las presiones sociales relacionadas con la apariencia física y la imagen social pueden influir en las conductas relacionadas con el ejercicio físico entre los jóvenes filipinos.
