In a new study in the Journal of Research in Personality, it was found that, compared to whites, blacks have a higher average score on several measures of narcissism. Going from large differences to small ones, blacks are much more self-absorbed (d = .83); entitled (d = .61); they are more likely to be grandiose exhibitionists (d = .57); to see themselves as good leaders (d = .45); to feel superior (d = .37); to think they can fool most people (d = .29); and to try to avoid rejection at all costs (d = .24).
Having been given the title of Archetypical Victim, blacks are very prone to thinking of themselves as special. But with a high heritability of .64, narcissism might be a racial trait.
Are gun owners mentally ill?
Some anti-gun people think owning a gun is a sign of some kind of mental abnormality. According to General Social Survey data, gun owners ...
My theory:
ReplyDeleteBlacks don't know much. Therefore they are unaware of how much they don't know and are under the impression that they know nearly everything there is to know.
If you have never even heard of nuclear physics, organic chemistry or anatomy, etc., (never mind understanding anything about them) then you cannot be humbled by your lack of that knowledge.
Consequently, ignorant people are cocksure.
I'd be interested in seeing similar data for other groups for comparison. Hispanics and Jews, for instance.
ReplyDeleteIf blacks are above average in narcissism, somebody else must be below average. Who is that somebody?
There's also a post on this on this very blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Olave!
ReplyDeleteIt was funny to see Arthur Laffer asserting in the Wall Street Journal today that blacks have lost their self-esteem and pride when blogs like this have consistently shown that just the opposite is the case.
ReplyDeleteHello there, You've done a great job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am confident they'll be benefited from this web site.
ReplyDeleteHere is my site ... healthy diet Plan
you are not including the correlation between narcissism and false self esteem.if blacks have the highest rate of self esteem and are most narcissistic, would'nt you come to the conclusion that their self esteem is false.
ReplyDeleteRacist all of you. You brought Africans to another land because you didn't want to work!
Deletewhat a ridiculous and untrue statement! who, specifically, brought africans here to do our work? not me, and likely not many others alive today. it was done in the distant past, by all ethnicities, and in fact africans themselves took part in the slave trade. so you would condemn me for something that whites... among others... did 400 years ago? thats just stupid.
DeleteI am african american... Narrccaism isn't in the african community as much as it is in the African AMerican Community. Now there were some comments here which were inged on the preface of racism but let's let that slide for now. I would agree that African AMericans have a tendancy to be more narccisstic. And Wfrican American women even more so than their male counter parts. But firt we must understand whay are the let's look at the causes of narccicssm. For the most part it is coming from a difficult childhood, also a very important point is the idea of abandonment. If you look at the singular aspects of African American Families, there are many families of broken homes where children have had to be thrown into orphanages or the like because of economics, broken families or broken homes. Now let's look at the bigger fact. The fact that African Americans even though they have been here just as long as their Anglo counterparts have been systematically abandoned by a country that they are incapable of leaving and have now called their home. And if you couple that with generational oppression, Racism, police brutality and other psychological dismantlement, it would cause a systemic form of narcissism.
ReplyDeleteyou are on to something here...
DeleteAlso Narcissism is not a racial trait. If you were actually good at your job then you would know that it is a learned trait. This would be through having a hard life and abandonment through life. I mean you to have to be a psychologist to know that. Any idiot can go to Wikipedia and see the causes of Narcissism
ReplyDeletei get what you are saying, but that is a very simplistic way of looking at it. it is more of a media brainwashing effect... people think that if they have money, they are above menial work and sub it out to others who often come from a less economically privaledged society or geographic location. its complex; it has more to do with greed than color of skin
ReplyDeletei like books so much and this site make me so happy thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletegood range of books interesting.
