They are so futile – and this new study is about them.
Are you looking to remove narcissist in your life? Researchers say there is a habit, difficult to hide, the type of unacceptable personality, is unable to break down.
The way they get involved with their intelligent phones can tell you everything you need to know, new discoveries reveal – those with narcissistic tendencies are significantly more likely to display problematic models of movement, posting and consent of social media posts.
The data, published in the Personality Research Gazette, show that a person’s behavior on social media can be an indication that someone is slightly in them.
Social media addiction goes beyond severe use. It includes behaviors such as mandatory control of updates, being able to shorten despite the negative consequences, and rely on internet interactions for emotional satisfaction.
These behaviors can lead to problems in real -life sleep problems, reduce face to face interaction and poor work or academic performance.
The team worked to explore not only if narcissism and addiction are related, but how they can affect each other over time.
To begin with, they identified six forms of narcissism: admiration, rivalry, image, isolation, heroism and holiness.
The study sample was made up of 339 adults aged 19 to 41 years old living in Poland. They all completed numerous assessments, answered questions about their use on social media, and completed determined measures of narcissism and the addition of social networks focused on Instagram, Facebook and Tik.
The results showed that individuals who scored high in almost any form of narcissism – besides holiness – also reported higher levels of social media dependence.
However, the dynamics between the two differed depending on the type of narcissism.
Those with heroism, admiration and rivalry had what the scholars called a “reciprocal” connection with dependence.
When one rose, the other tends to go down over time, suggesting a dynamic of oppression, where users can alternate between ego -driven behavior and periods of compulsory social media use. This implies an internal struggle between the search for admiration and the treatment of the consequences of dependence.
In contrast, immunity (a hostile, antagonistic form of narcissism) and isolation (drawn and cold) followed in synchronous with social media dependence. When the use tried, so did these darker narcissistic traits – and vice versa.
This suggests that these traits can actually exacerbate addiction or feed it in a constant loop.
So what does this mean to the average user?
If someone is constantly glued to their phone, observing as followers, they can not only be added to their food – they can also discover something about their personality.
And if their behavior seems to go out of the need for admiration or marked by antagonism, you can see a narcissistic model.
Of course, researchers warn that their study was entirely based on self-reporting data, which means that some findings may be influenced by the way honest participants evaluated their behavior and traits.
However, the study opens an interesting window of how our internet habits reflect our inner worlds.
So the next time you find yourself – or someone else – unable to stop refreshing that food on Instagram, it may be worth asking: Is this just a bad habit – or a sign of something worse?
