- My initial intuition was that grandiose narcissists would use "I" more in speech, but years of research hasn't supported it - this review locates the "I" talk in more vulnerability and vulnerable narcissism - nice workFrequent use of the first person pronoun 'I' is linked to a smaller, rather than to a bigger ego. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
- The profile of the ultra rich looks a lot like classic grandiose narcissism - that is why I say narcissism is a trade-off. . . . less ego and you could step out of the arena with twenty million and a lot of years leftReplying to @robkhendersonThe ultra rich are -High in Openness -High in Conscientiousness -High in Extraversion -Low in Neuroticism (high emotional stability) -Low in Agreeableness And -High in narcissism -High in internal (vs. external) locus of control
- Replying to @sbkaufmanTo the person with high empathy, it's literally impossible for them to fathom that someone could intentionally genuinely and truly cause suffering and poverty in vulnerable people so the only way they can process it is by redefining psychopathic abuse as caring.
- I updated my example of personality change for the first day of class - so energizing to teach students in a lecture hall again
- Cool study finds Big 4 personality (openness, directedness, sociability, disagreeableness) in dolphins (Morton et al. 202.Journal of Comparative Psychology)
- My new conversation with @jordanbpeterson - I don't remember much because I got into a flow state but hopefully there are some useful or entertaining ideas - I appreciate the opportunity
- Our first in person lab meeting/celebration in way too long - so much better than Zoom
- Very proud of my daughter McKinley - she's off to Austin TX to find adventure and seek her fortuneWE SEE YOU MCKINLEY CAMPBELL! Four year letterman ✅ Three year Captain ✅ Great teammate ✅ Academic Monster ✅ #VALEDICTORIAN ✅ GO MAC!!! #GladiatorPride #AthensGA #CCHS #StudentAthlete #ClarkeCentral
- I think of the Big Five as a Rosetta Stone for personality, and this is a great example of how it allows you to quickly describe/compare a wide variety of traits"Big Five can indeed serve as an organizing framework for sizable majority of stand-alone psychological trait scales...adopting such an approach, construct proliferation may be abated and it would become easier to integrate findings from disparate fields" psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-21…
- Replying to @robkhendersonExactly - personality doesn't scale - the most lovely, cooperative people make for vicious groups, and groups of psychopaths function poorly (The WWII classic, Dirty Dozen, is about a team of psychopaths)
- Nice new meta-analysis finds small correlation between narcissism and creativity (r<.15, n>5000) - even less for Machiavellianism, and psychopathy looks flat sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- "grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in both men and women predicts the perception of inanimate objects from former relationships as trophies." Neat study - this is distinct from nostalgia doi.org/10.1016/j.paid…
- Hey @sbkaufman and @BridgetPhetasy - I loved your podcast on the importance of humor. It is legit so I wrote a short thread
