Survey Says: Men Who Post a Lot of Selfies Are More Likely to be Psychopaths
A new study finds there is a fine line between taking a lot of selfies and going Jeffrey Dahmer on your neighbors.
A new study out of Ohio State University just found that men who post a lot of selfies score higher on tests that measure traits associated with being a psychopath.
Also guys who actually take the time to touch up their selfies and edit them before they post them score even higher.
Those men also score high on tests for a trait that often goes hand-in-hand with psychopathy, they exhibit much higher levels of narcissism.
This doesn't mean just because a guy posts a lot of selfies he's 100% a psychopath. None of the men in the study scored high enough to be diagnosed an actual psychopath, they just had higher-than-average levels of antisocial traits.
The study only used male subjects, so the researchers don't know if women who post a lot of selfies are also more likely to be psychotic narcissists.
