Is social networking increasing narcissism and violence in teens?.

      Аннотация: This book investigates how narcissism, violence and social networking impact upon our society by exploring narcissistic traits specifically in an online environment, and the covert and overt violence which can result. Psychological and sociological theories are explored and the research suggests there is a growing narcissism epidemic in Western countries, with the resultant violence evident from a growing cyberculture, including cyberbullying and suicide. The increase of these maladaptive traits is evidenced through the medium of young adult literature.
