![]() I also explore the cues people may use when forming their first impressions of narcissists (e.g., attractiveness, facial features) to get a better sense of where people err versus succeed in correctly identifying someone’s narcissistic tendencies (Giacomin & Rule, 2018). For example, my ongoing research suggests that the mix of desirable and undesirable attributes in narcissists confounds impression-makers: People overestimate narcissists’ self-esteem and this leads them to form overly positive impressions when they first encounter them (Giacomin & Jordan, 2018). I specifically examine the psychological processes involved in “thin slice” perceptions of self-esteem (Giacomin & Jordan, 2016c) and narcissism (Giacomin & Jordan, 2018 Giacomin & Rule, 2018). These changes in state narcissism, in turn, curtail some of the detrimental interpersonal consequences associated with narcissism, such as decreased fame seeking.Īnother primary focus in my research is to investigate how people form impressions of others and how these impressions develop over time. I have found that experimentally increasing a person’s communal focus (by increasing empathic concern or interdependent self-construal) reduces that person’s state narcissism. In addition, I experimentally examine the factors that cause changes in people’s state narcissism and the interpersonal consequences that ensue from these changes (Giacomin & Jordan, 2014 Jordan, Giacomin, & Kopp, 2014). In addition, I am exploring how people’s narcissistic tendencies may reflect instability in terms of their perceived level of status and inclusion (Benson & Giacomin, 2020). These results suggest that narcissism has a process or state component that allows people’s narcissistic tendencies to change depending on the context they are in. This within-person variability, moreover, is psychologically meaningful: I have found that people’s state narcissism is higher on days when they experience more positive outcomes and greater daily life satisfaction conversely, state narcissism is lower on days when people experience greater stress. Using daily-diary methods and multilevel modeling, I observed significant within-person variability in narcissism over spans as long as two weeks (Giacomin & Jordan, 2016a, 2016b). I empirically examine whether people display short-term, within-person variability in grandiose narcissism. ![]() Whereas most past research has investigated narcissists’ tendency to be grandiose, self-focused, and vain as a stable part of who they are, I am interested in understanding how situations can influence people’s narcissistic tendencies.
