Wiki Education assignment: Personality Theory
[edit] This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 18 January 2022 and 11 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Ewb432 (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Mld4p.
Article contradicts itself
[edit]In one section, it is stated that people high in narcissism have high self-esteem, have positive self-perception and are relatively worry- and gloom-free. In another section, it states that people high in narcissism have fragile self-esteem, are easily threatened, and are more likely to interpret the behavior of others as abusive and threatening.
Clarification or further explanation is necessary. Relying on individuals high in narcissism to self-report can be extemely problematic and likely accounts for many contradictions regarding this topic. Acknowledgement of this would a helpful addition to the article. Studies now suggest there is a pervasive lack of self esteem in these personalities, as well as a very negative self-perception that many of them intentionally work to conceal.

Done
Also a term in deviant psychology
[edit]It’s a bit weird that narcissism isn’t thought of as a symptom of personality disorders but instead, as a way of being obnoxious 71.178.33.122 (talk) 12:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Echoism psychology redirect
[edit]The word "echoism" doesn't appear on the Narcissism article even though the Echoism (psychology) article redirects there. Not sure where I could place a new section about echoism, but I also do not know what specific sources would be suitable for backing up the concept of echoism as a reliably sourced entry. There's some sources out there about "echoism", but some of the websites are on the Wikipedia blacklist, implying that these links are problematic and thus are unreliable sources.

- I agree, but I am a gnome, not an expert! I have played with re-writing the intro of this article to develop the continuum concept and drafted some ideas at User:Timpo/sandbox which you may view/edit and comment on my user-page (if you mess up, don't worry! I keep copies off-line).
