Presentations
Narcissim in social interaction
Anssi Peräkylä
University of Helsinki, Finland
Narcissism—whether considered a psychiatric illness or a personality trait—involves self-related cognitions and emotions, as well as interactions between persons. Therefore, to understand narcissism, a conceptualization of both intra- and interpersonal processes, and their systemic relations is needed. In the presentation, I will offer such conceptualization, extending the psychological model of narcissism of Morf and Rhodewalt by Erving Goffman’s micro-sociology. In the light of this model, I will discuss a string of empirical studies, employing conversation analytical and experimental methods which elucidate the ways in which self-related cognitions and affects are played out and reproduced in interpersonal interactions.
