The study was carried out with a total of 418 people, aged between 18-45, living in Istanbul, 223 (%53,3) female and 195 (%46,7) male. The Socio-Demographic Data Form, The Perceived Maternal Narcissism Scale (PMNS), Borderline Personality Questionary (BPQ) and Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI) were applied to the participants. The data obtained in the study were analyzed using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS 25.0) and the PROCESS macro program for SPSS (PROCESS 4.0). Normal Distribution Analysis, Pearson Correlation Analysis, Linear and Hierarchic Regression Analysis, Independent Samples T-Test were used from statistical analysis methods. The results of the study showed that there was a positive significant relationship between perceived maternal narcissism with borderline personality traits and orthorexia nervosa. Borderline personality traits had partially mediated the relation between the perceived maternal narcissizm and orthorexia nervosa. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the perceived maternal narcissizm and borderline personality traits explained 13% of the variance in orthorexia nervosa. There is a positive relationship between the age variable and the narcissistic characteristics perceived from the mother; a significant negative relationship was found with the borderline personality variable and the orthorexia nervosa variable.
