The True Roots of Narcissism. We Are All Becoming More Narcissistic. Tracy Alloway and her research team recently asked more than 400 individuals a question many of us probably ask ourselves every time we check us Facebook profile: Does this make me more narcissistic? Using a survey of questions ranging from how many hours per day they spent on Facebook, the number of times they updated their status, and the look of their profile picture – as physically attractive, cool, glamorous and fashionable – researchers assessed just how participants acted on Facebook. And then to assess how narcissistic they were, participants were given a standard narcissism questionnaire, where they chose between statements that best described them – such as, “I like to be the center of attention” or “I prefer to blend in with the crowd.” What Alloway and her team found was something we know intuitively about narcissism – it makes us want to be admired. In Alloway’s study, the more narcissistic a person was, the more frequently they updated their profile picture.
