At the same time, looking for the prognosis of narcissism can help reduce the risk of developing the disorder. Therefore, the present study aimed to construct a structural model of adolescent narcissism based on basic psychological needs with the mediating role of alexithymia.<br> <b>Methods</b>: The research method was descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all high school students of Shiraz in 2021. Participants were 512 students who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method.&nbsp; Narcissistic personality scale, alexithymia questionnaire and basic psychological needs scale were used to collect data.<br> <b>Results</b>: The results indicated that basic psychological needs in a negative and significant way and alexithymia in a positive and significant way predicts narcissism. Also, basic psychological needs positively and significantly predict alexithymia. Finally, basic psychological needs through alexithymia can predict narcissism (p <0.01).<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that narcissism in adolescents is a phenomenon that is directly and indirectly affected by basic psychological needs. The findings have useful implications for counseling with teenagers.</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span sans-serif="" style="font-family:Calibri,"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> Narcissism, Psychological needs, Alexithymia, Adolescents 291 308 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-541-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Zahra Yaghtin zahrayaghtin21@gmail.com 10031947532846009605 10031947532846009605 No Department of General Psychology, Marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht, Iran Azarmidokht Rezaei rezaie@miau.ac.ir 10031947532846009606 10031947532846009606 Yes Department of Psychology, Marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht, Iran Majid Barzegar orgpsyba@miau.ac.ir 10031947532846009607 10031947532846009607 No Department of Psychology, Marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht, Iran Hossein Bagholi baghooli@miau.ac.ir 10031947532846009608 10031947532846009608 No Department of Psychology, Marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht, Iran
