Classical conditioning of fetishes has been demonstratedGiven what we know about perverse object-relational make-up, can we draw a parallel to narcissistic individuals?
Clinical implicationsSlide4
Moderational Model
Yes Fetish
Obj
No Fetish
Obj
HI
Narcissism
Highest arousal expected
here
LO NarcissismSlide5
Method
230 students aged 18-21
Two groups: both watch independent film clip w/ sex scene, only one group w/ fetish object
Inventories: PNI, demographics
Arousal measured…. How???
Assessed via ANOVASlide6
WOWOWOWOW SIGNIFICANCEEEE
Interaction found: fetish
obj
X narc (pattern only seen in HI-Nar individuals)
Two main effects found:average arousal level was higher in the fetish object group than the absent fetish object group (regardless of level of
narcissism)
average
arousal level was higher in high-narcissism than in low-narcissism (regardless of presence of fetish object
)Slide7
Non-Significant
No significant interaction
Average
levels of arousal in the high narcissism
group not significantly different from those in the low narcissism
group
Average
levels of arousal in the fetish object present
group

Reasons?
Significant
Hershey (1989)
- the
object relational approach of a narcissistic individual involves an “[…] experienced victory over the superego.”
Not significant
Splitting into hi/low may have
lost information
More females in study (maybe fetish object not as arousing to females)
Not shaming enough to induce hostility required?
