dc.description.abstractThe main objective of this study was to determine if there was any relationship that existed among pathological narcissism, cognitive distortions as well as the moral development in the Palestinian youths (1948). The study also considered psychological variables affected by sex, age, education, residence and marital status. The study used a quantitative research design which included a sample of one hundred and twenty participants who were selected using convenient sampling technique. The instruments that were used: Pathological Narcissism Forms Scale, Cognitive Distortions Scale, and Social Moral Thinking Scale. Findings showed significant relationships between pathological narcissism and cognitive distortions. It was also found a negative association between narcissism and moral development. The results indicated that moral development and cognitive distortions were influenced by demographic variables; females showed higher levels of moral development compared to males, while cognitive distortions were affected by age and place of residence. In addition, the research was able to prove that poor moral development contributed by high level on narcissism hence there is need for solution in such cases. In conclusion, the study establishes that dealing with moral development in Palestinian youth calls for attention to pathological narcissism as well as cognitive distortions. The study proposes intervention through educational and psychological programs tailored to counter these vices. These efforts must aim at curbing narcissism and rectifying harmful cognitive trends to enhance healthy moral growth among individuals. Besides, the study calls for additional studies that will be conducted within similar environments to gather more insights about psychological dynamics influencing morality especially in such kind of settings. The current study demonstrates how important it is to consider demographic factors while planning interventions meant to enhance morality particularly in population with complex social problems. Combining specific psychological and educational approaches would help overcome challenges related to narcissism and cognitive distortions.
