Facebook. Twitter. Cool! The Twitter Spectrum for Educators. Facebook Friends: Narcissism Linked To Number Of Pals, Study Finds | Technology. By Damien Pearse, Sky News Online Researchers have established a direct link between the number of friends you have on Facebook and the degree to which you are a "socially disruptive" narcissist. People who scored highly on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory questionnaire had more friends on Facebook, tagged themselves more often and updated their newsfeeds more regularly.
The research comes amid increasing evidence that young people are becoming increasingly narcissistic and obsessed with self image and shallow friendships. The latest study, published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, also found that narcissists responded more aggressively to derogatory comments made about them on the social networking site's public walls and changed their profile pictures more often. GE includes "self-absorption, vanity, superiority, and exhibitionistic tendencies" and people who score high on this aspect of narcissism need to be constantly at the centre of attention.
