Narcissism in Younger Generations, and Other Links
Are younger generations becoming increasingly narcissistic?
Another one-year ObamaCare delay – this one on out-of-pocket maximums.
Sebelius on Medicaid expansion: “This is not a bait-and-switch.”
Would evidence-based altruism be bad for art museums?
Good ruling for California: School nurses don’t have to be nurses.
“Are younger generations becoming increasingly narcissistic.”
Definitely and I would imagine that it is quantifiable.
How is this even measurable to an accurate point? It is rubbish in my opinion and useless data.
Not exactly.
“They say the test on which much of her research is based, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, is inherently flawed — better designed to measure feelings of confidence and self-worth than actual narcissism.”
“And some critics are even more emphatic: they say the data, if collected and read correctly, simply show no generational difference in narcissism. “We calculated self-esteem scores from 1976 all the way up to 2006 … and we didn’t see much difference at all.””
Are younger generations becoming increasingly narcissistic?
When I was young we referred to this condition as “spoiled, self absorbed, a feeling of entitlement, immature, unmotivated and lazy.”
Now it’s narcissistic! Isn’t that what we call First World Problems? Only in rich countries can we afford narcissistic children. In third-world countries parents probably beat that condition out of their children in an attempt to keep the children from starving to death from hunger.
“Another one-year ObamaCare delay – this one on out-of-pocket maximums.”
At least they are consistent.
“Sebelius on Medicaid expansion: ‘This is not a bait-and-switch.'”
How can she even say that? The whole thing is crumbling around us and she expects us to be believe that that wasn’t the plan all along?
“Would evidence-based altruism be bad for art museums?”
It would be bad for crappy art museums.
With the advent of the internet, traditional museums are becoming a bigger waste. If we decoupled public funding and museums we’d see what people really want.
True. I don’t see why it would be all “bad” necessarily.
I think people are increasingly more narcissistic!
Wow! you don’t say…
Ke$ha is the root of all of these claims about youthful narcissism.
While obviously that is a ridiculous claim, but it is influences like Ke$ha that are influencing a lot of youthful society to act the way they do.
