Observing behaviour: Online narcissists favor Twitter and Facebook... Who knew?



I knew that.

Adults (average age of 35) who exhibit narcissism tend to prefer Facebook, which serves as a mirror. 
"It's about curating your own image, how you are seen, and also checking on how others respond to this image," said Panek. "Middle-aged adults usually have already formed their social selves and they use social media to gain approval from those who are already in their social circles."
Vain college-age students favour the mouthpiece of Twitter to amplify their opinions and views in cyberspace. 
"Young people over valuate the importance of their own opinions," said study researcher Elliot Panek. "Through Twitter, they're trying to broaden their social circles and broadcast their views about a wide range of topics and issues." 
"Among middle-aged adults from the general population, narcissists posted more frequent status updates on Facebook," said the report. 
"It's important to analyze how often social media users actually post updates on sites, along with how much time they spend reading the posts and comments of others," said Panek. - Source
