Is ‘Facebook’, the social networking website, making us narcissist? A new book argues we are much more self-absorbed nowadays, stating that technology is to blame. I tweet, therefore I am. Or is it, I tweet, therefore I am insufferable? As if adult celebrities that pop out on the red carpets were not clue enough, we now have statistical evidence that we are a lot more in love with ourselves than we used to be. This social phenomenon has raised fields of research to academic studies nowadays. In the book ‘The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement’, Jean M. Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and W. Keith Campbell, a social psychologist at the University of Georgia, look to the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, which measures self-regard, materialism, and lack of empathy. They found that the number of college students scoring high on the test has risen by 30 percent since the early 1980’s.What kind of human behavior is central to the study mentioned in the text?
- AThe alienation of the celebrities from the others around them.
- BAddiction to technology.
- CThe high scoring of college students in academic tests.
- DThe hard work of social psychologists.
- EExcessive positive feelings and admiration of oneself.
