The Relationship between Narcissistic Traits and Snapchat Posts

Social networking site Snapchat is getting more popular among young adults as well as the study of narcissism in non-clinical population. Hence, it raises the questions of whether there is a relationship between narcissism trait and Snapchat posts in young adults. The current study used regression analysis to assess the relationship between narcissism and Snapchat posts among participants aged 18-25 (N=91). It is the first study that examines the relationship between narcissism, participants¿ belief, and social media Snapchat in particular. The result revealed that there is no relationship between narcissism and Snapchat posts. However, participants¿ belief that their friends are interested to see what they are doing was significantly predicted Snapchat posts, specifically self-photograph/videos.
