  This study aimed to compare parenting styles and abnormal personality dimensions in mothers of adolescents with and      without social anxietydisorder. Based on a causal-comparative design, using the Social Phobia Inventory (Connor et al., 2000), two groups of 30 adolescents with and withoutsocial anxiety disorder were selected by purposeful sampling and their mothers completed Personality Inventory for DSM-5- Brief Form (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) and Pa- rental Authority Questionnaire (Buri, 1991). Results of the analysis of variance showed that the authoritarian parenting style in mothers of the social anxiety disorder group was more than healthy group and the authoritative parenting style in them was less than healthy group. There was no significant difference between mothers of the two groups in the permissive parenting style. The results related to the abnormal personality dimensions showed that negative effects in the mothers of adolescents with social anxiety disorder were more than in mothers in the healthy group, and antagonism and disinhibition of mothers in this group were significantly less than mothers in the healthy group. There was no significant difference between the mothers of the two groups in terms of detachment and psychoticism. The findings of this study provide evidence to confirm the role of mothers in their children's social anxiety and can be used in the prevention and treatment of thisdisorder. Manuscript profile

  The proposed changes related to personality disorders in DSM-5 has increased the importance of paying attention to narcissism. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of abnormal personality dimensions in predicting narcissistic personality among students. For this purpose, in a descriptive correlational study, 300 undergraduate students were selected in a form of cluster random. They were tested in terms of narcissistic personality and abnormal personality dimensions.  The Pearson correlation coefficient test results indicated that there is a significant correlation among most narcissistic components (power, glaring, hegemony, exploitation, arrogance, entitlement) and total score of narcissistic personality with abnormal dimensions of personality. However, self-sufficiency has no significant relationship with abnormal personality dimensions. The result of regression analysis indicated that except for self-sufficiency, none of the personality dimensions were anticipated. Different abnormal narcissistic personality dimensions significantly predict narcissistic components, In the meantime, especially negative emotions, psychotic temperament and opposition had a greater role, however only opposition was better able to predict the total score of narcissism. It seems that the presented profile in DSM-5 for diagnosis of narcissistic personality which has opposition as the criteria for the diagnosis of this disorder, mostly includes narcissistic, grandiose type. While other dimensions of abnormal character including negative affection and psychotic temperament are also involved in this disorder. Manuscript profile
