narcissism
Recent research published in PLOS One has shed light on an intriguing connection between narcissism and cognitive performance in stressful situations. The study found that individuals with higher levels of grandiose narcissism performed better on intelligence tests when under stress thanks to a broader distribution of visual attention. Grandiose narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Individuals with high levels of grandiose narcissism often exhibit behaviors such as boasting, do...

A recent study provides insight into how structural brain networks contribute to narcissistic personality traits. By using advanced machine learning techniques, researchers identified specific patterns in gray and white matter that predict narcissistic tendencies. The findings were recently published in the European Journal of Neuroscience. Individuals with high levels of narcissism often exhibit a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for excessive admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. These traits can significantly impact mental health and interpersonal relationships, leading to...

Recent work published in the Journal of Personality found that grandiose narcissism and interpersonal antagonism were linked to increased aggression in real-life interactions, especially when combined with negative emotional states. While studies have shown that narcissistic traits correlate with aggression, traditional research often relies on retrospective self-reports or laboratory settings, which may not capture real-time, situational dynamics. In this work, researchers Tianwei V. Du and colleagues used an experience-sampling method to examine how specific dimensions of narcissism influenc...

Narcissism is a multifaceted personality trait with three main dimensions: agentic extraversion, antagonism, and narcissistic neuroticism. Agentic extraversion includes traits like dominance and the desire for admiration; antagonism involves aspects like entitlement and manipulativeness; and narcissistic neuroticism ...

A recent study published in Personality and Individual Differences found that not all narcissists think alike. Specifically, grandiose and vulnerable narcissists differ significantly in their metacognitive abilities. “As a field, we’re still trying to figure out how much, if at all, our personalities might be related to the ways we think and process information. On a superficial level, I think most people would probably expect that the two are related. But the bulk of the research evidence so far is mixed,” said Shane Littrell (@MetacogniShane), PhD, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Munk School of...

In a new study published in the International Journal of Sexual Health, researchers have uncovered a significant link between components of sexual narcissism and strategies of sexual aggression in both men and women. Specifically, they found that sexual exploitation and sexual entitlement, aspects of sexual narcissism, are predictive of employing certain tactics for sexual aggression. The study’s findings underscore the importance of understanding sexual narcissism as a risk factor for sexual aggression, pointing to the need for prevention programs that address these underlying personality tra...

In a study conducted by researchers at Washington State University, the intricate relationship between vulnerable narcissism and aggression within socially uncertain contexts was unpacked. The study, published in Personality and Individual Differences, revealed that while social uncertainty heightened distress, it did not necessarily lead to increased aggression — challenging previous notions about the dynamics of narcissism and aggressive behavior. Narcissism, characterized by a spectrum ranging from self-centered tendencies to the more severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder, has been close...

This research, published in Brain Sciences, sheds light on how these aspects are not only interconnected behaviorally but might also share common neural pathways. The researchers embarked on this review to understand the complex interplay between narcissistic personality traits and the growing appeal of fame and celebrity culture. With the backdrop of a media-saturated society and changin...

Relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD) is a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves individuals experiencing persistent, unwanted, and distressing thoughts concerning the strength, quality, and true nature of their relationship with their p...

New research has found a link between narcissism and holding a grudge. The findings indicate that people who exhibit vulnerable narcissism tend to hold onto feelings of hurt longer, especially if they also display traits of grandiose narcissism. This understanding sheds new light on the emotional complexities of grudge holding in interpersonal relationships. The research was published in The Journal of Social Psychology. This research was motivated by a gap in understanding about how people respond to interpersonal conflicts and transgressions. While previous studies have focused on forgivenes...
