Grapsas,Brummelman,Back,Denissen - A Process Model of Narcissistic Status Pursuit - In Press
No full textWe propose a self-regulation model of grandiose narcissism. This model illustrates an interconnected set of processes through which narcissists (i.e., individuals with relatively high levels of grandiose narcissism) pursue social status in their moment-by-moment transactions with their environments. According to the model, narcissists select situations that afford status. Narcissists vigilantly attend to cues related to the status they and others have in these situations. Based on these perceived cues, narcissists appraise whether they can elevate their status or reduce the status of others. In accordance with these appraisals, narcissists engage in self-promotion (admiration pathway) or other-derogation (rivalry pathway). Each pathway has unique consequences for how narcissists are perceived by others, thus shaping their social status over time. The model we offer helps understand how narcissism manifests itself as a stable and consistent cluster of behaviors in pursuit of social status and how it develops and maintains itself over time. More broadly, the model might offer useful insights for future process models of other personality traits
Does Warfare Matter?: Severity, Duration, and Outcomes of Civil Wars
No full textDoes it matter whether a civil war is fought as a conventional, irregular, or symmetric non-conventional conflict? Put differently, do technologies of rebellion impact on a wars severity, duration, or outcome? We find that irregular conflicts last significantly longer than all other types of conflict, while conventional ones tend to be more severe in terms of battlefield lethality. Irregular conflicts tend to be won by incumbents, while symmetric non-conventional and conventional ones are more likely to end in draws. Substantively, these findings help us make sense of the evolution of civil wars, which are likely to become shorter, more intensely fought, and more challenging for existing governmentsbut also more likely to end with some kind of compromise between governments and armed opposition. Theoretically, our findings support factoring in the technology of rebellion (a variable capturing characteristics of conflicts that are visible at the micro level) when studying the severity, duration, and outcome of civil wars (macro-level patterns of conflicts); they also contribute a better understanding of the historical contribution of irregular war to both state building and social change.[electronic resource] :

Can praise contribute to narcissism in children?
No full textSince the 1970s, Western parents have become increasingly concerned about raising children’s self-esteem. Many parents believe that self-esteem contributes to children’s success and happiness in life, and they are motivated to raise self-esteem by telling children how unique and extraordinary they are. However, there is some suggestive evidence that, since the very same decade, Western youth developed higher narcissism levels. The conclusion would seem too obvious: in lavishing children with praise, parents may inadvertently cultivate narcissism. This chapter reviews emerging research on when praise may (and may not) contribute to narcissism in children and suggests ways in which parents can effectively raise self-esteem without cultivating narcissism
Queering Urbanism
No full textConflicts about space and access to resources have shaped queer histories from at least 1965 to the present. As spaces associated with middle-class homosexuality enter mainstream urbanity in the United States, cultural assimilation increasingly erases insurgent aspects of these social movements. This gentrification itself leads to queer displacement. Combining urban history, architectural critique, and queer and trans theories, Queering Urbanism traces these phenomena through the history of a network of sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Within that urban landscape, Stathis G. Yeros investigates how queer people appropriated existing spaces, how they expressed their distinct identities through aesthetic forms, and why they mobilized the language of citizenship to shape place and secure space. Here the legacies of LGBTQ+ rights activism meet contemporary debates about the right to housing and urban life.
“It is challenging to find a book that gives not just an account of a specific place and people but a theory of how queer space works, how it becomes queer. This is that book.” — ROBERT SELF, author of American Babylon: Race and the Struggle for Postwar Oakland
“This is a timely work that offers insight into a pressing problem not just for San Francisco but for our understanding of cities themselves.” — SUSAN STRYKER, author of Transgender History and codirector of Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton’s Cafeteria
“This lively and illuminating book provides a new and needed history of San Francisco since the 1960s, tracing how LGBTQ people remade public and private spaces while contesting the bounds of normative citizenship. Moving from SROs to renovated Victorians, lesbian bars to community land grants, Yeros revives vital questions about how queer and trans communities remake the cities they call home.” — STEPHEN VIDER, author of The Queerness of Home: Gender, Sexuality, and the Politics of Domesticity after World War I
