What is it about?
There have been suggestions of links between narcissism and the use of visual postings on social media, such as Facebook, but, until this study, it was not known if narcissists use this form of social media more, or whether using such platforms is associated with the subsequent growth in narcissism. The results of this study suggest that both occur, but show that posting selfies can increase narcissism.

Why is it important?
About 20% of people may be at risk of developing such narcissistic traits associated with their excessive visual social media use.
Perspectives
I hope this article help to make preventive actions in school, and to arrange psychotherapy with a focus on prevention of pathological narcissistic regulation.
