Social media like Twitter or Instagram play the role of fertile platforms for self-exhibition and allow their users to earn a good repute. People higher in grandiosity share their contents in a charismatic way and as a result, they are successful in gaining attention from others, which may also influence their responses and behaviors. Such attention and repute enable them to be a trendsetter or a socially recognized maven. In this paper, we present a complex adaptive mental network model of a narcissist to see how popularity can adaptively influence his/her behavior. To analyze and to support behavior showed by our model, we used some key performance indicators from the literature to study the popularity and narcissism of 30 Instagram profiles. The results of the—both computational and empirical—study indicate that our presented computational adaptive network model in general shows the behavior found from the empirical data.

像Twitter或Instagram这样的社交媒体在自我展示的丰富平台中发挥了作用，并使其用户赢得了良好的声誉。雄心勃勃的人们以超凡魅力的方式分享自己的内容，因此，他们成功地赢得了他人的关注，这也可能影响他们的反应和行为。这种关注和声誉使他们成为潮流引领者或社会公认的专家。在本文中，我们提出了一个自恋者的复杂的适应性心理网络模型，以了解受欢迎程度如何适应性地影响其行为。为了分析和支持我们的模型所显示的行为，我们使用了文献中的一些关键绩效指标来研究30种Instagram个人资料的受欢迎程度和自恋程度。
