Jean Twenge

We are increasingly a nation of self-centered brats. This is not just an opinion – sadly, there’s data to back it up. A forthcoming study in the Journal of Personality shows rates of entitlement and narcissism have been rising since the 1970s. We are in the midst of a full-blown narcissism epidemic. Jean Twenge is a San Diego State University psychologist who authored the study, and she speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
