I am excited to publish today's episode as it will be one of the first of mine on the topic of narcissism. I have decided that it would be interesting to attempt to dive deeper into one specific topic, and due to the fact that narcissism is one of the topics that I will be pursuing in grad school, I thought it would be a good choice. Thus, in today's episode I am happy to publish an interview that I did with Dr. Christopher Carpenter where we discussed his article "Narcissism on Facebook: Self-promotional and anti-social behavior." If you have any comments or questions you can either post a comment in the section below, or you can send me a message by going to methodologyforpsychology.org/contact.  Thank you for listening.

Abstract
"A survey (N = 292) was conducted that measured self-promoting Facebook behaviors (e.g. posting status updates and photos of oneself, updating profile information) and several anti-social behaviors (e.g. seeking social support more than one provides it, getting angry when people do not comment on one’s status updates, retaliating against negative comments). The grandiose exhibitionism subscale of the narcissistic personality inventory was hypothesized to predict the self-promoting behaviors. The entitlement/exploitativeness subscale was hypothesized to predict the anti-social behaviors. Results were largely consistent with the hypothesis for the self-promoting behaviors but mixed concerning the anti-social behaviors. Trait self-esteem was also related in the opposite manner as the Narcissism scales to some Facebook behaviors."
