Men of all ages tend to be more narcissistic
-University at Buffalo -Original Study-
On average, men are more narcissistic than women, report researchers, who say the findings apply across multiple generations and regardless of age. Forthcoming in the journal Psychological Bulletin, the study compiles 31 years of narcissism research, including over 475,000 participants. āNarcissism is associated with various interpersonal dysfunctions, including an inability to maintain healthy long-term relationships, unethical behavior, and aggression,ā says lead author Emily Grijalva, assistant professor of organization and human resources in the University at Buffalo School of Management. āAt the same time, narcissism is shown to boost self-esteem, emotional stability, and the tendency to emerge as a leader,ā she says. āBy examining gender differences in narcissism, we may be able to explain gender disparities in these important outcomes.ā
