Narcissists easy to spot on Facebook: if you know how

. . . Facebook, and its brethren, would seem to be a narcissist's dream; these individuals want the world to think as highly of them as they think of themselves, and social networking sites allow a high degree of control over what information about a person gets presented to the public. This ranges from photos and quotes to ostensible measures of popularity, such as the number of connections a person has made. The new study considers many of these in exploring the expression of narcissism on Facebook.

The study relied on 129 college students (the authors are located at the University of Georgia) who voluntarily took a personality test that detected narcissistic tendencies. With the test complete, the students opened their Facebook profile pages; the researchers then removed personal identifying information from the pages. Objective measures of the profile, such as number of friends and groups, and the length of the person's "About Me" section, were made. Researcher assistants then subjectively rated the contents of the "About Me" section and the quote collection, as well as photos associated with the account . . .
