Narcissism between cold-blooded and hot-headed characters in toxic online behaviors. The moderating role of the R4 functional drivers
This study provided evidence for the dual behavioral mode of the variants of narcissism in cyber-aggression, thus discovering the antagonistic aspect underlying both variants of the trait in connection with the four functional drivers. Further studies should not only confirm such empirical evidence, but also develop effective moderation intervention tailored to a more detailed users' personality profile for reducing trolling and cyberbullying behaviors.
