In the publication titled “The Dark Triad and Trait Self-Objectification as Predictors of Men’s Use and Self-Presentation Behaviors on Social Networking Sites,” Fox used data from an online survey that consisted of 1,000 American men aged 18 to 40. Her main goal was to look at their representations on social networking sites, as well as the role of “the dark triad of personalities,” which includes narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. She had three major findings: Trait self-objectification and narcissism predicted time spent on social networking sites. Narcissism and psychopathy predicted the number of selfies posted on social networking sites. Narcissism and trait self-objectification predicted editing photos posted on social networking sites. “All of that stuff is highly relevant to online dating,” she said. Dr. Jesse Fox studies the effects of new media technologies, including virtual worlds and social networking sites. According to Fox, the big takeaway from these findings is for people to think about the personality traits that drive behaviors such as taking and posting selfies, editing those photos, using filters on them, etc.
