Twenge’s studies have found more narcissistic traits and a (13) rate of increase among college students today, but Kali found that students’ narcissism was (14) greater in 2006 than in 1976.

Twenge’s book (18) just a month after The Mirror Effect : How Celebrity Narcissism Is Seducing America, a book co-written by behavioral (19) Drew Pinsky, (20) suggested that a celebrity-obsessed culture is causing more narcissism.
