Re: [FRIAM] Narcissism Epidemic Spreads Among College Students

Just to follow up, after which I'll shut up about this, I presented my speculation, mechanism, and hypothetical tests, yesterday at the Cascade Systems Society and didn't get laughed out of the room. [whew] It sparked a lot of controversy. In particular, there were 3 people who totally rejected

Re: [FRIAM] Narcissism Epidemic Spreads Among College Students

One other thought occurred to me later this morning. It seems like there should be a connection between narcissism and an internal locus of control (LOC), as well. Those of us who blame ourselves for bad things that happen probably also take credit for good things that happen. Hence, if you happ

Doug - I tried a couple of fingers of Kentucky Bourbon last night and it just aggravated both conditions (Narcisissm and Punning). Easy, big guy -- there are treatment options for that.  Most of them involve beer... (I couldn't resist... I think Doug has infected me with something...

In that first article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-03-23-health-poll-favorable_N.htm They emphasize the entitlement aspect of narcissism. In the DSM-IV, entitlement is only a minor diagnostic element, far superseded by grandiosity, fantasies of success, specialness, lack of empa
