7J How Insecure Narcissists Become Cultural Omnivores: Consuming Highbrow Culture For Status Seeking and Lowbrow Culture For Integrity Signaling

Fri, October 18, 6:30 to 8:00pm, Hyatt Regency - Atlant, Grand Hall West

Short Abstract

The current research examines how individual personality traits affect cultural consumption. Through two studies, we demonstrate that narcissists with a sense of insecurity—i.e., low self-esteem or low self-perceived authenticity tend to become cultural omnivores preferring both highbrow and lowbrow culture.
