Do narcissists show stronger physiological responses when put under social stress? This study indicates no: https://t.co/ICuIsNxMo8 Speaks against the idea that narcissism is a compensation of a weak, or fragile, self

People systematically differ from each other in how strongly their facial emg reactions are linked to experienced affect. The link ist stronger in women and in people with good socio-emotional abilities. Check Out the Paper: https://t.co/chh9v0lrlF

If life circumstances change, the motive gets stronger; people with a strong motive seek self-relevant feedback more often, but do not end up with better self-knowledge.
Check out the paper and think abut using the 5-item self-insight motive scale in your research! (3/3)

[Michael Dufner @dufner_michael]

Finally out : Our paper on the self-insight motive 🤟
https://t.co/1tuGmzojfJ

Key findings: (1/3)

[Michael Dufner @dufner_michael]

People differ in their self-insight motive: the desire to find out about oneself; those who have a strong motive are older, better educated, more curious and open, and surprisingly also more narcissistic. (2/3)

Need a reference showing that behavior observation works just as well during Zoom calls as in the lab? Here you go: https://t.co/wqVbUiuh6L

How are constellations of provided and received social support related to adjustment? With conventional NHST, main effect, self-enhancement, congruence models are all supported. With competitive RSA testing, the pattern looks different https://t.co/KFGWP7Gcv7

The tendency to focus on status-related cues can be measured very reliably via eye tracking and it is higher among narcissists. The paradigm could be used to study the links between personality and visual attention more generally. https://t.co/pK2WZcl4fe

[Michael Dufner @dufner_michael]

actually, the same pattern also showed up here: https://t.co/ujPf1YKLbN

When strangers judge other persons’ motives, these judgments are not only predicted by targets’ motive self-reports, but also to more automatic/implicit aspects of these motives: https://t.co/9uDmObioWh

Why does affective reactivity matter for motivation? Check out this blog post about our recent paper and the larger research program on motive-specific affective contingencies: https://t.co/P7mvUy8N0O

More evidence for the usefulness of EMG as a diagnostic tool in personality research: People differ in their facial reactions to pictures of themselves and these differences are linked to self-reported self-esteem and likability: https://t.co/LvA3y6qwnK

Does anyone know a good textbook chapter/paper that can be used to teach the basics of formative measurement models to undergraduate students? English or German would both work

On how to be liked: Warm and dominant behavior both lead to popularity. When it comes to being particularly liked by a specific other however, being warmer than usual - but not more dominant - seems to work best. Check out our new ps paper:

Cool study with huge n and RSA method from educational psych again finds no benefits of self-insight: https://t.co/wH8uqMIUrx

@JoshuaGrubbsPhD It reminds me of this: https://t.co/X2NZP6hWSx
