How Does Narcissism Relate to Popularity and Likeability in an Adolescent Residential Setting
Narcissism involves an interpersonal paradox whereby individuals seek, and potentially obtain, popularity, often at the expense of being regarded favorably by others. This process may take on particular importance during adolescence. The present study considered adolescent peer appraisals of likeability and popularity at two time points, approximately 15 weeks apart, in relation to grandiose and vulnerable narcissism assessed at Time 1. Participa…
Callous-Unemotional Traits and Empathy Moderate the Relation Between Exposure to Violence and Adolescent Delinquency
More than half of American adolescents report being directly or indirectly exposed to violence each year. These exposures are associated with a higher likelihood of engaging in delinquent, or illegal, behaviors that confer significant personal and societal implications. The moderating influence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits and cognitive and affective empathy on the relation between indirect exposure to violence and adolescent delinquency wa…
The Role of Supportive Adults: Are These Relationships Able to Mitigate the Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Adolescent Adjustment
The Longitudinal Impact of Fetal Malnutrition on the Anthropometric Growth of Young Children in Leyte, the Philippines
Poor intrauterine growth has long-term implications for child growth and nutritional status. Fetal malnutrition (FM) is a type of poor intrauterine growth defined by the presence of soft tissue wasting at birth and is identified using the Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status Score (CANSCORE) tool, independent of gestational age. There is limited evidence evaluating FM as a predictor of longitudinal growth and nutritional status in young chil…
Joy of Missing Out (Jomo) and Its Role in Reducing Social Media Addiction: The Serial Mediating Role of Loneliness and Psychological Distress
The widespread use of social media has led to growing concerns about its impact on mental health. As digital dependency rises, the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) has emerged as a potential means to help individuals find satisfaction in offline activities and reduce social media addiction. This study examines the serial mediating role of loneliness and psychological distress in the relationship between JOMO and social media addiction while also validat…
Accuracy in amicus curiae briefs and in commentaries: Reply to Cobb et al. (2025), Dvoskin et al. (2025), and Kovera (2025)
In this reply to commentaries, we argue that amicus briefs should identify when findings are based on simulation studies, clarify that we did not propose that American Psychological Association amicus briefs must be perfect, and refute notions that our coding was opaque or that following legal (i.e., Bluebook ) style absolves psychologists from following American Psychological Association standards. We agree with the commentary by Cobb et al. (20…
Citation accuracy in American Psychological Association amicus curiae briefs
For over 60 years, the American Psychological Association (APA) has submitted amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs with the aim of informing the courts about relevant scientific findings that may otherwise be absent from, or misrepresented in, the trial records of court cases. To achieve this aim, it is important that the summarized information accurately reflects the relevant scientific literature. The present study investigated the accura…

Evaluating Measures of Externalizing Personality Pathology Traits in Black and White American Adolescents in a Program for at-Risk Youths
Adolescent personality assessment measures can aid in the identification of traits that are associated with various types of maladjustment. Externalizing personality pathology traits (e.g., antisocial, borderline, and narcissistic personality disorder features) are particularly relevant for many problematic outcomes, yet measures that assess these traits have not been validated extensively in diverse samples. The present study aimed to examine th…
Impulsivity and Stressful Life Events Independently Relate to Problematic Substance Use in At-Risk Adolescents
Test-Retest Reliability of Self-Reported Substance Use and Sexual Risk Behavior Among at-Risk Adolescents
Adolescents often engage in behaviors such as substance use and risky sexual activity that can lead to negative health and psychological consequences for themselves and others. Accurate measurement of these behaviors in surveys is challenging given that the behaviors are often viewed as undesirable and/or are illegal, so it is important to test the psychometric properties of instruments used to assess adolescent risk behaviors. The current study …
Social intelligence as moderator in the relation between narcissism and aggression in at‐risk adolescents
This study examined the moderating role of social intelligence (SI) in the associations of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism (VN) with peer‐reported overt and relational aggression (RA). The sample consisted of 286 adolescents aged 15 to 19 recruited from a residential program for youth who have dropped out of school. Results showed that whereas grandiose narcissism (GN) was related to both forms of aggression, VN was related to neither overt n…
The Validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory—Adolescent in Assessing Callous-Unemotional Traits in At-Risk Adolescents
This study examines the validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory-Adolescent (PAI-A; Morey) in assessing callous-unemotional (CU) traits within two independent samples of at-risk adolescents from a residential intervention program. The study tests the extent to which CU traits are represented within PAI-A scales with respect to empirically- or theoretically-related indicators, such as antisociality, aggression, low warmth, low social conne…
Internalizing problems and their impact on the relation between callous‐unemotional traits, narcissism, and aggression
Narcissism and callous‐unemotional (CU) traits have demonstrated relations with youth aggression across studies. However, different forms of narcissism and internalizing problems may exacerbate the relation between CU traits and aggression. To that end, the current study examined the degree to which interactions among internalizing problems, CU traits, and dimensions of narcissism related to aggression in a sample of 219 adolescents (83.1% males)…
Fear of missing out (FoMO): A generational phenomenon or an individual difference
Fear of missing out (FoMO) regarding activities within one's social circle is a potential downside of the advent of social media and more rapid forms of communication. To examine potential generational or individual implications of FoMO, this study considered age cohort differences and self-perception correlates of FoMO. Participants were 419 individuals from throughout the U.S. who were members of 14- to 17-year-old, 24- to 27-year-old, 34- to 3…

Adolescent social media use and mental health from adolescent and parent perspectives
This study investigated adolescent and parent reports of adolescent social media use and its relation to adolescent psychosocial adjustment. The sample consisted of 226 participants (113 parent-adolescent dyads) from throughout the United States, with adolescents (55 males, 51 females, 7 unreported) ranging from ages 14 to 17. Parent and adolescent reports of the number of adolescents' social media accounts were moderately correlated with parent-…
Adolescent Communal Narcissism and Peer Perceptions
OBJECTIVE: The present study extended recent work on communal narcissism to a sample of at-risk adolescents. Although narcissism is widely considered an agentic personality construct, Gebauer and colleagues (Gebauer, Sedikides, Verplanken, & Maio, 2012) demonstrated the existence and utility of a communal narcissism construct in adults. The extent to which this variant of narcissism applies to adolescents is not yet known. Because communal narcis…

How do different dimensions of adolescent narcissism impact the relation between callous‐unemotional traits and self‐reported aggression
The current study examined the moderating influence that different aspects of narcissism have on the relation between callous‐unemotional (CU) traits and aggression in a sample of 720 adolescents (500 males), ages 16–19 enrolled in a 22‐week residential program. Findings from the two studies revealed that psychopathy‐linked narcissism as assessed by the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD; Frick & Hare, 2001; Antisocial process screening de…
Callous-unemotional traits and developmental pathways to severe conduct problems
One method for defining pathways through which children develop severe conduct problems is based on the presence or absence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits. This study investigated potential differences between nonreferred children (mean age = 12.36 years; SD = 1.73) with and without CU traits (n = 98). Children with conduct problems, irrespective of the presence of CU traits, tended to have significant problems in emotional and behavioral reg…
The importance of narcissism in predicting proactive and reactive aggression in moderately to highly aggressive children
The present study examined the importance of psychopathy‐linked narcissism in predicting proactive and reactive aggression and conduct problems in a group of 160 moderately to highly aggressive children (mean age of 10 years, 9 months). Children's self‐report of self‐esteem and parent and teacher report of dimensions of psychopathy [narcissism, callous–unemotional (CU) traits, and impulsivity], proactive and reactive aggression, and conduct probl…

Locus of Control as a Contributing Factor in the Relation Between Self‐Perception and Adolescent Aggression
Researchers continue to debate the role of self‐esteem in aggression, but research has shown a consistent association between narcissism and aggression in adults and adolescents [e.g., B arry et al., 2007; B ushman and B aumeister, 1998; S tucke, 2007]. The primary aim of the current study was to examine whether locus of control ( LOC ) moderated the relation between self‐perception variables (i.e., self‐esteem and narcissism) and aggression in a…

Do perceived social stress and resilience influence the effects of psychopathy‐linked narcissism and CU traits on adolescent aggression
The current study explored the influences of social stress and resilience on the relation between psychopathy-linked personality characteristics (i.e., narcissism, dimensions of CU traits) and aggression with the expectation that social stress would exacerbate the relation, whereas resilience would mitigate it. In a sample of 154 at-risk adolescents (ages 16-18; 84% male), contrary to expectations, high social stress attenuated the relations of n…

The View From The Looking Glass: How Are Narcissistic Individuals Perceived by Others
Previous studies have found that narcissistic individuals are often viewed negatively by those who know them well. The present study sought to extend these previous findings by examining whether normal and pathological aspects of narcissism were associated with perceiver ratings of narcissistic characteristics and aggression. This was accomplished by having each of our undergraduate participants (288 targets) recruit friends or family members to …
Ethnicity, Ethnic Identity, and Adolescent Narcissism
The present study explored the influence of ethnicity and ethnic identity on adolescent narcissism, as well as the role of these variables in the link between narcissism and adolescent aggression. Participants were 348 at-risk adolescents (278 males, 70 females), ranging in age from 16 to 18 (M = 16.7 years; SD = 0.69 years) who were enrolled in a community-based residential program. Results revealed significant ethnic differences on narcissism, …
