This is, in part, due to the variety of ways in which social media use has been measured. In the present study of narcissism and self-expression via social media, a new measure of social media posting frequency is used as well as a content analysis of users’ (N = 380) Facebook status updates that distinguishes between messages that focus attention exclusively on the user and messages that include other users at the center of attention. A positive association is found between narcissism and posting frequency as well as a negative association between narcissism and posting other-focused messages. This is the first study to find evidence of a link between narcissism and the focus of social media posts, furthering understanding of the psychological underpinnings of various types of online self-expression.

The current study investigated the role that FoMO plays in TV viewing habits, particularly binge-watching and the consumption of one-time megaevents. Results indicated that FoMO predicts the pace at which people choose to watch TV, social media use as it relates to TV, and whether they are likely to watch some one-time TV programs—such as sporting events like the Super Bowl.

Content analysis of publicly available conversations of The Walking Dead was facilitated through AMC’s Story Sync, facilitating Twitter responses. Results show that Social TV is about far more than isolated immediate reactions to television content; rather, Social TV involves behaviors and cognitions before, during, and after consuming TV programming.

This is, we assert, due to the variety of ways in which social media use has been measured. We use a new measure of social media posting frequency as well as a content analysis of users’ (N = 380) Facebook status updates that distinguishes between messages that focus attention exclusively on the user and messages that include other users at the center of attention. We find a positive association between narcissism and posting frequency as well as a negative association between narcissism and posting other-focused messages. This is the first study to find evidence of a link between narcissism and the focus of social media posts, furthering understanding of the psychological underpinnings of various types of online self-expression.
