The More Often You Tweet, The Bigger Narcissist You Are [STUDY]
A new study conducted by University of Michigan researchers Elliot Panek, Yioryos Nardis and Sara Konrath found that social media reflects and amplifies the culture’s growing levels of narcissism.
In the words of the researchers, “Facebook is a mirror and Twitter is a megaphone.”
The team examined whether narcissism was correlated with the amount of daily Facebook and Twitter posting and the amount of time spent on each social media site. Their conclusion, in short? Yes.
Part One of the study involved recruiting 486 college undergraduates – three-quarters female, with a median age of 19 – and asking participants questions about their social media use.
