People with high levels of narcissistic traits are more likely to be addicted to their phones, according to a new study.
Researchers at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Romania found narcissists tend to have an inflated sense of self importance, which can show up as a need for admiration and a sense of entitlement - a lot of which can be gained through social media interactions, such as 'likes' on their posts.
Among 559 post-secondary school and university students between the ages of 18 and 45, those who scored higher on a scale of narcissistic traits were more likely to experience significant levels of nomophobia.
