Selfies And Narcissism And Psychopathy.
That boy on Facebook posting dozens of "selfies" of himself - at the beach, at work, partying - might just be a narcissist, a revitalized chew over suggests. "It's not surprising that men who post a lot of selfies and spend more time editing them are more narcissistic, but this is the victory time it has actually been confirmed in a study," Jesse Fox, lead author of the look and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State University, said in a university news release. The investigating involved 800 men, ages 18 to 40, who completed an online assess that asked them about their online photo posting activities, along with questionnaires meant to assess their personalities.

Men who posted more photos online scored higher on measures of narcissism and psychopathy, Fox's crew found. According to the researchers, narcissists typically think they're smarter, more attractive and better than other people, but often have some underlying insecurity. Psychopathy involves a be of empathy and regard for others, along with impulsive behavior. Men who worn out more time editing their photos before posting them online scored higher in narcissism and "self-objectification," where a person's illusion becomes key to how they value themselves.
