We are raising a generation of deluded narcissists



"A new analysis of the American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults, reveals that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying are decreasing."

"Psychologist Jean Twenge, the lead author of the analysis, is also the author of a study showing that the tendency toward narcissism in students is up 30 percent in the last thirty-odd years."


"This data is not unexpected. I have been writing a great deal over the past few years about the toxic psychological impact of media and technology on children, adolescents and young adults, particularly as it regards turning them into faux celebrities—the equivalent of lead actors in their own fictionalized life stories."

How old are you, Beretta? Are you a member of the generation discussed in the article? We have a narcissistic culture in general, so I'm not sure it's generational.

They can delete unflattering comments. They can block anyone who disagrees with them or pokes holes in their inflated self-esteem.

Sounds like baretta, who puts people on ignore and had his rep turned off.

and Dr. ABlow (what a name) misrepresented the findings.

CIRP's American Freshman survey's data shows that the rate of students who describe themselves as above average is not increasing so quickly as it was from 1966 to 1985.

Wonder what his agenda was in leaving that out? Oh, wait, he works for FAUX.
