Excessive use of social media is turning us into narcissists, say researchers

(Natural News) Are you worried that your friends have an unhealthy obsession with taking too many selfies every day? It looks like researchers are also thinking the same thing. According to a study, the excessive use of social media, especially the posting of images and selfies, is linked to “a subsequent increase in narcissism.”

The study was published in The Open Psychology Journal.
 

Narcissism is defined as a personality characteristic which may involve beliefs of entitlement, grandiose exhibitionism, and taking advantage of others.

The study, which involved a collaboration between researchers from the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, Milan University and Swansea University, examined the personality changes of 74 volunteers, who were aged 18 to 34, for four months.
