Study says selfie taking men are psychos
Selfies might be the form of photo taking, but a new study from OSU says that “the selfie” is doing more harm than good for men. Researcher Jesse Fox (lead author of the study and assistant professor of communication at The Ohio State University) conducted a study along with Margaret Rooney, an OSU graduate student, on selfies. Their results were published online in the Journal Personality and Individual Differences.
The study found that men who posted more online photos of themselves scored higher on measures of narcissism and psychopathy. The study also found that men who were more likely to edit their selfies before posting scored higher in narcissism and self-objectification. Fox stressed that the findings don’t mean these mean are narcissist or psychopaths and the men all scored within the normal range of behavior.
Fox said, “We are all concerned with our self-presentation online, but how we do that may reveal something about our personality.”
