Narcissism is characterized as egoistic, self-admiration, feelings of superiority, a sense of entitlement, and a lack of empathy. According to Cain et al. (2008), 77% of the research relies on the NPI to provide accurate measurements that can be used to argue the basis of narcissism. The NPI is composed of a reasonable amount of item pairs that are shown in a forced choice format. Participants are presented with items pairs and are instructed to choose the best response option that is the closest to their feelings and beliefs. Each item pair in the NPI is consisted with one narcissistic response option. In the example below, option a is the narcissistic response, and option b is the non-narcissistic response.
Although, there are many variables that can determine whether the hypothesis is inconclusive, it is finding the best slope of approximation that can support the hypothesis to be at-most accurate. When most experiments succeed with positive results, we can conclude that the hypothesis of the project is most-likely to be true. An experimental method were used to analyze data from two samples. For the first sample, the data collected was based on random test subjects that were randomly assigned to the sample response, the forced-choice …show more content…
Researchers have found that people who are characterized as narcissistic or egocentric, and distinguish themselves to be more superior and attractive than others. Based on the amount of data, scientists were able to predict online social activity in regards with narcissism. Using an empirical data analysis that describes the trend in narcissism, it was shown that narcissism would be the motivation for a user to select his or her profile picture.
One study developed by Fox and Rooney, included a total of 748 participants. 355 of the test subjects were women and 393 were men at the age between 17 and 47 years old. (M = 21.64; SD = 3.41). A second study included a total of 548 Facebook users. Having 330 women and 218 men participants at the age between 14 and 47 years old. (M = 23.72; SD = 4.39). Below is a diagram representing the differences between the NPI and the Polish version, in which describes the characteristics of
