“…Psychopathy has consistently been associated with problematic social media and internet use [ 11 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. By contrast, and as already highlighted, there have been both significant and non-significant associations found between grandiose narcissism and social media addiction [ 22 , 41 ].…”

“…Although previous research has shown the important role played by narcissistic traits in social media usage [ 13 , 18 , 19 ], other studies have not reported such [ 20 , 21 ]. A systematic review on this topic carried out by Casale and Banchi [ 22 ] reported inconsistent findings ranging from positive to no associations, when investigating problematic social media usage as a unitary category. To overcome this limitation, the authors suggested that specifying different online platforms under the umbrella of social networking sites that might explain differences in people’s motivations for using SNSs.…”

Research on selfie-related behavior has recently flourished. The present study expands theoretical and empirical work on phenomenon by assessing the psychometric properties of the Selfitis Behavior Scale among an Italian sample and by examining its unexplored mediating role in the relationships between dark triad traits and social media addiction. A total of 490 participants (53.1% females) completed a self-report survey including socio-demographics, the Selfitis Behavior Scale (SBS), the Short Dark Triad Scale (SD3), and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS). Results showed the SBS had a five-factor structure with good psychometrics properties in terms of reliability coefficients and measurement invariance across gender. In addition, findings from the path model supported the mediating role of selfitis behavior in the relationships of narcissism and psychopathy with social media addiction. Machiavellianism was found to be unrelated to selfitis behavior and social media addiction. The model shed light into the previous inconsistent findings on the associations between dark triad traits and social media addiction by taking into account the key role of selfitis behavior as an underlying mechanism. The findings may explain individual differences in personality traits associated with co-dependence (i.e., the combination of the dependence on self and others and social media addiction).

“…First of all, social networks offer greater control over selfpresentation compared to face-to-face interactions, making them a useful place for developing strategic interpersonal behaviors, many of which are used by narcissists to build and maintain a positive self-image (Casale & Banchi, 2020). Control over the profile can be performed by selecting attractive photos or by writing descriptions that promote the self online (Buffardi & Campbell, 2008).…”

“…Second of all, the use of social networks allows people to advertise their success in front of a wide audience, while obtaining highly visible rewards and recognition through positive appreciations and comments from other socialmedia users (Casale & Banchi, 2020). Moreover, given the increasing use of social networks on mobile devices, they are accessible anywhere and anytime.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the level of association between grandiose narcissism and Facebook related behaviours, as well as, to test the moderating role of active Facebook usage in the relathionship between grandiose narcissism and Facebook perceived stress. The cross-sectional data was collected from 130 Facebook users (N = 130; 79.2% female; 20.8% male; SD = 10.60) including demographic data, the level of self-disclosure, FOMO, Facebook addiction, the intensity of Facebook usage, Facebook perceived stress and the way of usage (active or passive). Findings revealed an association between grandiose narcissim and self-diclosure. The results imply that even if Facebook is currently the most popular platform, narcissists might prefer other apps due to their less sophisticated and easier to manage interfaces. Therefore, some individuals suffering from narcissism put less effort in the awareness and engaging process with their target for obtaining the needed gratifications and validation. Limits and future directions are discussed.

The recent pandemic saw the operations of many businesses shifting to virtual mode. Tasks like psychometric analysis of individuals, for various applications, are conducted online. In this article, we introduce a novel system to analyze the semantics of an individual's tweets from their Twitter profile using LIWC and SALLEE scores. These scores can be used to evaluate less fortunate, thin‐filed candidates using their Twitter profiles. With increased access to phones and the internet, many organizations are focusing on making credit systems available to the masses by introducing psychometric analysis. This article proposes a dynamic model for evaluating the personality of a Twitter user using the textual content shared on their page. The model will allow stakeholders to ascertain the personality of user according to any personality model. To analyze if this is viable and flexible approach to model any kind of personality model, we take MBTI personality dataset and train classifier to predict personality types. Then these results are correlated with a linguistic score to find correlation between the two. We found that proposed approach, outperformed the other relevant works also some aspects of these linguistic scores show a heavy correlation with certain personality types.
