“Interpersonal sensitivity” and “privileged self” are personality traits related to modern-type depression. Individuals with these traits tend to have difficulty establishing positive relationships with others. Perspective-taking has a positive effect on interpersonal relationships, and we predict that privileged self suppresses it. We examined the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity, privileged self, and perspective-taking tendency through a questionnaire survey of 102 university students. Our results indicate a significant partial correlation between perspective-taking tendency and privileged self, controlled by interpersonal sensitivity, and that privileged self interferes with self-perspective.
