Amy Brunell, Professor of Social Psychology at The Ohio State University, researches narcissism in social contexts. In this interview, she discusses with host David Staley the clinical definition of narcissism versus its understanding from a social psychology perspective and details the three different types of narcissism. Brunell describes how narcissistic traits manifest in individuals, the impact of narcissism in various relationships, and the lack of systematic research on coping mechanisms for dealing with narcissists. She shares her academic journey, teaching experiences, and future research directions, including uncovering public perceptions of narcissism and discrepancies between self-reported and actual risky behaviors in narcissists.
