Avant Take: Selfies and status and trolling …oh my! These days it’s hard to keep up with clients who seem to be posting, scrolling, and, well, obsessing over presentation (theirs or others’) all the time. Whether it’s getting hooked on likes or outright cyberbullying, narcissism may be playing a key role in your clients’ social media dynamics. Join us with Keith Campbell to learn more about how this all comes together psychologically. Get ready to go beyond the behavior and explore self-regulation, vulnerability, grandiosity, and more. Get your hashtags ready!

Narcissism is an important and poorly understood topic in modern psychology, with implications for a range of social outcomes. In this workshop, Dr. Campbell will describe and discuss the current research on narcissism and social media. Topics will include: Defining and measuring narcissism, including grandiose and vulnerable forms, and narcissistic personality disorder; understanding narcissistic self-regulation and how that can be carried out on social media sites; learning how narcissism can be detected on social media; and considering some ways social media can be used to modulate narcissism. The content of this workshop will focus on empirical research, especially the last decade of research on narcissism and social media.
