Too little power, too much information! Power, narcissism, and adolescents’ disclosures on social networking sites

作者:

Highlights:

• Disempowered, narcissistic youth are prone to problematic disclosures on SNSs.

• Person-centered (Study 1) and experimental (Study 2) studies tested this hypothesis.

• High-Narcissism/Low-Power youths reported more problematic disclosures (Study 1).

• High-Narcissism/Low-Power youths viewed these disclosures as less risky (Study 2).

• Low social power might promote narcissistic youths’ problematic SNS disclosures.
