Is There a Link Between Vanity and Aggression?

Do you think the Kardashians aggressive?
According to a study in the Journal of Social Media in Society, they might just be.

Their key findings:

(1) Female selfie posting was linked to intimidatory self-presentation strategies, and
(2) Higher aggression levels were associated with frequent female selfie posts

This study shows us that women can be just as actively aggressive as men in certain circumstances. We just need to know how to look for it. 🧠 What do you think??

The original research is published in the Journal of Social Media in Society (closed access) – “Intimidatory assertive self-presentation in selfie posting is greater in females than males” by Phil Reed.
