Grandiose narcissists (individuals with a tendency to be self-focused, egotistical, and vain) overwhelmingly desire celebrity status. Here, we examined the conditions underlying narcissists' fame motivation. In Study 1, we assessed participants' desire to become a social media user who attained high status, tried to attain status but failed, or had no status-attainment goal. In Study 2, we assessed how participants' self-perceived similarity to high-status targets (e.g., Hollywood/social media celebrities) influences their desire to become them.

宏大的自恋者有选择地寻求地位

宏大的自恋者(倾向于自我聚焦,自负和虚荣的个人)绝大多数都希望获得名人身份。在这里,我们研究了自恋者成名动机的潜在条件。在研究1中,我们评估了参与者成为社交媒体用户的愿望,这些社交媒体用户获得了很高的地位,试图获得地位但失败了,或者没有达到目标的目标。在研究2中,我们评估了参与者与高地位目标(例如好莱坞/社交媒体名人)的自我感知相似性如何影响他们成为他们的愿望。我们发现,报告自恋的参与者最有动机成为成功的社交媒体名人,他们不喜欢试图获得地位但失败的人比不喜欢没有成名目标的人(研究1)。此外,自恋者只在他们觉得自己与目标相似时(而不是相似时)才模仿目标高的人(研究2)。因此,自恋者不会将所有名望都视为同等可取,而只是在成名后才表达对名望的渴望。
