  Thanks (though I think paywalled articles should not be posted here). The most interesting take-away from the article for me is the reference to this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29065280/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29065280/ (here is a non-paywalled version https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318865497_The_Narcissism_Epidemic_Is_Dead_Long_Live_the_Narcissism_Epidemic https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318865497_The_Narci...). Quotes: "We identified three narcissism factors in the preanalyses of the pooled data and interpreted them as leadership,vanity, and entitlement." "our results showed evidence that narcissism levels have been slowly declining from the 1990s to the 2010s" "no ethnic group showed the overall increase predicted by proponents of the narcissism epidemic" "the findings were consistent across men and women" So it doesn't seem to be as bad as one might conclude from observing social media; apparently narcissists are overrepresented on the latter (which wouldn't really be surprising).
