“…In turn, the link between narcissism and stronger antisocial motives for using Facebook may be situated within the general tendency of narcissists to hold extremely positive self-views that are reliant on external social feedback (Rhodewalt & Morf, 1995) as well as their hostile and exploitative behaviour (Ackerman et al, 2011;Hodson et al, 2009;Raskin & Terry, 1988). These findings may represent a narcissist's egoistic-orientation when pursuing relational closeness (Park, Troisi, & Maner, 2010) through seeking attention (Seidman, 2014), exaggerating personal importance (Blachnio, Przepiorka, & Rudnicka, 2016), and cultivating a Facebook profile that attracts views and admiration (Davenport, Bergman, Bergman, & Fearrington, 2014), but which is ultimately not concerned with prosocial outcomes.…”

“…In this vein, many of the traits that are descriptive of a narcissist are also descriptive of a bully, such as proneness to aggression and manipulativeness (Locke, 2009), low agreeableness (Bradlee & Emmons, 1992;Karl et al, 2010;Rhodewalt & Morf, 1995), and reactions such as derogation to negative feedback with the intent to re-establish power and self-esteem (Baldasare, Bauman, Goldman, & Robie, 2012;Kernis & Sun, 1994;Rafferty & Vander Ven, 2014;. Narcissism is also linked with a drive for negative social influence and power, which is the result of selfish behaviour and self-serving interactions (Foulkes, Viding, McCrory, & Neumann, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tPrevious research has found that some people use Facebook for antisocial purposes, such as for "trolling" or attention-seeking. Conversely, others use Facebook in prosocial, relationship-enhancing ways, such as to increase belonging or to connect with friends. Few studies, however, have investigated differences between men and women in their antisocial and prosocial use of Facebook. The present study sought to address this research gap by examining whether these sex differences might be explained by narcissism and relational self-construal (i.e., the extent to which an individual defines their self in terms of close relationships). To this end, 573 participants living in the United States completed measures of narcissism, relational self-construal, and motives for using Facebook. Results revealed that men reported more antisocial motives for using Facebook than did women, which was explained by their greater narcissism. Conversely, women reported stronger prosocial motives for using Facebook, which was explained by their more relational self-construal. We discuss ways that these findings can contribute to the development of interventions to promote prosocial online behaviour.

“…This shame expresses itself in feelings of disappointment, meaninglessness, depression and depletion, of unhappiness in general and is conducive to the establishment of a more stable narcissistic personality syndrome which masks self-hate and low self-esteem in an excess of grandiose visibility (overt narcissism) (Rhodewalt and Morf 1995;Morf and Rhodewalt 2001;Bursten 1986;Raskin andHall 1979, 1981) or a resentful lack of empathy and an abundance of self-pity (covert narcissism) (Ettema and Zondag 2002;Zondag 2003;Wink 1991;Miller 1992).…”

Why Sin?—A Test and an Exploration of the Social and Psychological Context of Resentment and Desire

This article focuses on the theory put forward by Donald Capps in his The Depleted Self (Sin in a narcissistic age. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1993) that there is a particular link between some forms of narcissism and the commitment of particular deadly sins. The data in the research reported in this paper robustly validate the idea that the psychological consequences of the bureaucratic consumer society, understood as a lack of individual well-being leading to a narcissistic defense, show the theological relevance of the deadly sins in understanding those conditions in society which on a global scale appear to threaten the individuality of the single person. Narcissism, both in its covert and overt mode, seems to be the most important variable in explaining the two factors of sin: resentment and desire. In addition to the effects already accounted for by well-being and narcissism, the possible contribution of religion and biography is explored.

“…found that narcissists' daily self-esteem was more dependent on the quality of their daily interpersonal interactions than was the daily self-esteem of less narcissistic people. Moreover, Rhodewalt and Morf (1995) found that scores on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory are directly related to scores on the Cook-Medley Hostility Scale, which reflects a cynical mistrust of others (Rhodewalt, 2001). Positing the existence of an increased sensitivity to offensive interpersonal behavior has a precedent in the literature on hostility.…”

Narcissists as “Victims”: The Role of Narcissism in the Perception of Transgressions

Narcissism is a set of traits that are motivated by the desire to establish and maintain a grandiose self-image. Consistent with this conceptualization, the authors hypothesized that narcissistic people perceive themselves to be the victims of other people's inter-personal transgressions more frequently than do less narcissistic people. In a 14-day diary study, the authors found that narcissism (particularly in its exploitiveness/entitlement dimension) was associated positively with the number and frequency of transgressions that respondents reported. The narcissism-victimization relationship appears to result, at least in part, from biased recall or self-presentation. The exploitiveness/entitlement dimension of narcissism may be particularly useful for explaining why narcissistic people report higher rates of interpersonal transgressions in their daily lives.
