Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) can bring out the dark traits in you, according to new studies from Lund and Gothenburg University in Sweden. Professor of Cognitive psychology at Lund University and co-founder to the study, Sverker Sikström, says competition for social status on Facebook (FB) has caused these dark traits.
Professor Sverker Sikström said that when people try to attract friends, they write theirselves better and then they suffer that Machiavellianism, these traits and narcissism. The researchers found that some users on the social network are developing interpersonally aversive personality traits, named as ‘The Dark Triad’ which is a group of three personality traits including narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.
It is time to think about what we write on Facebook and perhaps be more moderate and humble in our expressions, professor said.
