“…At the same time, we found that high scores of Narcissisms were related to lower conflicts with the addictive use of mobile phones. Although people with predominant Narcissism traits tend to spend more time using their mobile phones (Gökçearslan, Yildiz, Berikan, & Saritepeci, 2021), previous studies have also reported an inverse relationship between Narcissisms and the addictive behavior to mobile phones (Hussain, Griffiths, & Sheffield, 2017).…”

The present study analyzed the effects of Light and Dark Triad traits scores on Internet Gaming Disorder, intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts related to internet consumption, conflicts, and communicational emotional usage related to mobile phones. Light Triad traits include Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism. Dark Triad traits include Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy. The study used a quantitative approach with a non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 450 adults of the Honduran population, of which 55.33% were women, and 44.67% were men, with an average mean age of 25.52 years (SD=6.79). Results indicate that Machiavellianism and Psychopathy scores have significant effects over Internet Gaming Disorder scores. Intrapersonal conflicts related to internet consumption were negatively affected by Narcissism scores and positively affected by Machiavellianism. Psychopathy scores explained interpersonal conflicts related to internet consumption scores. On the other hand, conflicts related to mobile phone usage were negatively affected by Narcissism and Kantianism, while Machiavellianism had positive effects. Finally, communicational emotional usage related to mobile phones was significantly affected by Machiavellianism. These results are discussed according to their implications for the behavioral sciences.

“…Majority of participants in most studies were women and ages ranged from 12 to 99 years, with two studies focusing on adolescents aged 12 to 19 years (24,42). Many studies focused exclusively on community samples of people with traits/a diagnosis of 'emotionally unstable personality disorder' or traits of 'narcissistic personality' and assessed these traits using self-reported measures such as McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (43) and The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (25).…”

“…In keeping with current practices of assessing CEN, we included categorical and dimensional approaches to assessing the symptoms and severity of CEN traits in clinical and general population samples. Examples of dimensional assessment measures include Standardised Assessment of Personality Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS) (24) and Narcissistic Personality Inventory (25).…”

“…Conversely, grandiose or overt narcissism less associated with loneliness (33, 65, 68). Additional cross-sectional studies rated as lowquality exploring narcissistic traits, as measured using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) in a sample of Turkish, Italian, and British undergraduate students, indicated that narcissism is inversely associated with a chronic state of loneliness (25,66,70). However, one social network analysis study of U.S participants, rated as low-quality, allowed for a more detailed analysis of the way an individual's social networks were uniquely perceived by people with higher grandiose narcissism versus higher vulnerable narcissism traits (33).…”

“…Twelve studies investigated the relationship between loneliness and 'narcissistic personality' traits in community/general population samples (25,33,44,(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73) such as a sample of undergraduate students (67). All but ve of the studies reported a signi cant positive relationship between narcissistic traits and loneliness (See Supplementary Table 4).…”

Background Loneliness and struggles with unmet social needs are a common experience among people with “Complex Emotional Needs” (CEN) who may be diagnosed with a ‘personality disorder’. Given the adverse effects of loneliness and poor perceived social support on physical and mental health, and the importance of a sense of belonging for recovery, a systematic review examining the prevalence/severity of loneliness and deficits in perceived social support among people with CEN is an essential step towards developing an intervention targeting the social needs of people with CEN. Method We conducted a systematic review synthesising quantitative data on the prevalence and severity of loneliness and deficits of perceived social support among people with CEN in comparison with other clinical groups and the general population. We searched Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Social Science, Google scholar and Ethos British Library from inception to December 2021. We conducted quality appraisals using the Joanna Briggs Critical appraisal tools and rated the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. A narrative synthesis was used describing the direction and strength of associations prioritising high quality studies. Findings A final set of 70 studies are included in this review, most of which are cross-sectional studies (n=55), based in the United States (51%) and focused on community samples. Our review of evidence found that, across all types of ‘personality disorders’ (except ‘narcissistic personality’ traits), people with traits associated with ‘personality disorder’ or meeting criteria for a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’, have higher levels of loneliness, low perceived relationship satisfaction, and poor social support compared to the general population and to other clinical samples such as people with depression or psychosis. The evidence also indicated that loneliness could play a role in exacerbating specific symptoms associated with CEN, such as self-harm, identity disturbances, and hallucinations. Conclusion The quality of evidence is judged as low quality. However, the adverse effects of loneliness on CEN symptoms and recovery suggests a need to co-develop psychosocial interventions targeting the social needs of people with CEN to improve quality of life and recovery outcomes.

During the COVID-19 period, individuals who physically isolated themselves from the social environment increased their screen time compared to before, and the time spent in the family environment increased. Increasing screen time is considered a factor that increases addiction. In this context, the purpose of this study was to examine the profiles of university students according to multiple screen addiction, mobile social online gaming addiction, and general mattering. The participants of this study are 588 university students. Personal information form and four different scales were used in the study. The latent profile analysis was used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, four different sets of participants were formed. The variables excessive behavior, compulsive behavior, and loss of control increase the likelihood that students will be clustered in the average profile. It was observed that all variables except gender and age increased the probability of clustering in the medium multiple screen addiction low gamers profile. It was observed that excessive behavior, compulsive behavior, and loss of control variables increased the probability of clustering in the high multiple screen addiction high gamers profile. As a stronger predictor than other profiles, it was determined that the probability of students performing high multiple screen addiction high gameplay activities was approximately 3 times more than the students in profile 1.
