Teens with Social Anxiety May Act Out, Study Finds

New research shows that social anxiety in some adolescents can manifest as aggression and impulsivity rather than withdrawal. In a study of 298 teens, latent profile analysis revealed three groups: a well-adjusted majority, a prototypical high-anxiety group with vulnerable narcissism, and an atypical aggressive-impulsive group with high vulnerable and grandiose narcissism (more common in boys). The findings emphasize heterogeneity in social anxiety and suggest the need for longitudinal studies and tailored interventions beyond the usual shy-withdrawal model.

Narcissism Shows Global Consistency Across 53 Countries

A cross-national study of 45,800 participants across 53 countries finds that younger adults, men, and people who perceive themselves as higher in social status consistently report more narcissistic traits. While average narcissism levels vary by country and can rise with GDP per capita, the core demographic patterns (age, gender, and status) are broadly universal, with aging linked to lower narcissism and culture not strongly moderating these differences. Notably, some collectivistic contexts showed higher agentic narcissism, challenging the notion that narcissism is mainly a Western, individualistic trait.

30 Years of Insights into Narcissism Psychology

Over the past 30 years, our understanding of narcissism has evolved from viewing it as simple arrogance to recognizing it as a complex set of personality traits with distinct subtypes, such as grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, each with different emotional and social implications. This nuanced view helps differentiate between normal traits and clinical disorders, emphasizing the importance of moving beyond stereotypes to better understand individual behaviors.

"Narcissism Declines with Age but Never Fully Disappears, Study Finds"

New research shows that while narcissistic individuals develop greater compassion with age, they never fully lose their inflated sense of self-importance. A study of over 37,000 people indicates that narcissism is a stable personality trait, with those who were more narcissistic as children remaining so into adulthood, despite some mitigation of traits over time. Understanding how narcissists mature is crucial for developing interventions to reduce their potential for harm.

"Hidden Female Narcissism Linked to Partner Violence and Bullying"

Research from City University London reveals that vulnerable narcissism in women is linked to increased intimate partner violence and bullying, contrasting with the grandiose narcissism more common in men. The study emphasizes the need for gender-specific interventions, noting that childhood experiences, such as having a caring mother, can mitigate these behaviors. This research highlights the subtle and often overlooked manifestations of narcissism in women and its implications for violence and bullying.

"The Link Between Social Uncertainty, Narcissism, and Aggression: Research Findings"

"The Link Between Social Uncertainty, Narcissism, and Aggression: Research Findings"

A study by researchers at Washington State University delved into the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and aggression within socially uncertain contexts, challenging previous notions about the dynamics of narcissism and aggressive behavior. The study aimed to explore proactive aggression and its relation to vulnerable narcissism, which is marked by a fragile self-esteem. While social uncertainty heightened distress, it did not necessarily lead to increased aggression, suggesting that discomfort among individuals with vulnerable narcissism may not directly result in aggressive behavior. The study's unique approach involved experimental manipulation of social uncertainty and observation of aggression in a controlled setting, but its reliance on Zoom and predominantly female sample may have influenced the results, indicating the need for more immersive experimental designs and balanced gender representation in future research.

These traits make them adept at manipulation and challenging to identify, posing potential risks in romantic relationships.

Unveiling the Attraction: Filming Narcissistic Meltdowns and the Urge for Narcissistic Relationships

People are sharing videos on TikTok of their exes having narcissistic meltdowns, highlighting the manipulative and abusive behavior in these relationships. Therapist Leah Aguirre explains that narcissists throw tantrums when they feel cornered or caught in a lie, manipulating their partners into silence. These tantrums can keep the partner in an abusive cycle, as they learn to appease the narcissist to avoid conflict. While true narcissism is rare, emotional immaturity and other personality disorders can exhibit similar traits. Younger generations are more outspoken about abuse, using platforms like TikTok to spread awareness and educate others on recognizing abusive relationships.
