Abstract :The first aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between self-disclosure in romantic relationships, rejection sensitivity and perceived maternal narcissism. The second one is to examine the mediating role of rejection sensitivity between perceived maternal narcissism and self-disclosure in romantic relationships. The Sociodemographic Data Form, the Level of Self-Disclosure in Romantic Relationship Scale (LSRRS), the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ), and the Perceived Maternal Narcissism Scale (PMNS) were given to the participants. The analysis was done using the SPSS 25 program. The data were analyzed using regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. The study\'s results suggest that rejection sensitivity mediates the relationship between perceived maternal narcissism and each narcissistic trait perceived by the mother and self-disclosure in romantic relationships. It has been determined that traits of the mother with a narcissistic personality may cause rejection sensitivity in interaction with the child, and this can negatively affect the self-disclosure towards the romantic partner of the adult.
