Men Are More Narcissistic Than Women. Is Anyone Surprised?

OK,  maybe it’s not news, but it is a research finding: men are more narcissistic than women. How do we know? Because researchers at the University of Buffalo who reviewed three decades of studies involving 475,000 people found that men consistently scored higher in narcissism across multiple generations and regardless of age. The big difference between men and women? Entitlement. A University of Buffalo news release reports that the researchers found men are more likely than women to exploit others and feel entitled to certain privileges. Difference number two?  Leadership/authority. “Compared with women, men exhibit more assertiveness and desire for power,” says study authorEmily Grijalva. The good news? The researchers found no difference in the exhibitionism aspect, meaning both genders are equally likely to display vanity or self-absorption.
