Academics not immune to the
Academics not immune to the temptations of instant celebrity guaranteed by churning out a study about narcissism.
Difference between real study (randomized trial), population study, and meta analysis.
Meta analyses “have the potential to mislead seriously, particularly if specific study designs, within-study biases, variation across studies, and reporting biases are not carefully considered.” (Cochrane Training)
Problems with this and most other studies and meta analyses about narcissism:
They are not randomized trial
Many use proprietary tests and questionnaires that are not validated
Children and adolescents included
Dearth of people diagnosed with NPD and no comorbidities. Most subjects are narcissistic style and dark triad.
Subjects only from the industrialized countries, white, male, often college students
Arbitrary, idiosyncratic classifications
Nine clinical features and trait domains of narcissism:
Lack of empathy
Fear of intimacy (insecure attachment style)
Disturbed or diffuse identity
Attention seeking behaviors
Grandiosity (cognitive distortion)
Anankastia
Negative affectivity, including fragility (bad object)
Dissociality (antisocial behaviors)
Antagonism
Only the last 2 traits mellow with age, not owing to learning from experience (the narcissist is incapable of that), but probably for biological reasons. The same mellowing is observed in psychopaths and borderlines.
