Narcissism facets and popularity in developing peer groups: The functional role of facial mimicry

Fehr（2012）描述了一个友谊产生和衰退的过程模型。起始阶段之后是形成、维持阶段，必要时还有衰退和溶解阶段。这一建议的重要之处在于，在所有阶段，相互喜欢都起着突出的作用。Fehr还提到了一些重要的潜在机制，这些机制会导致喜欢的出现以及喜欢的维持或下降。费尔明确强调人格的各个方面。同样重要的是，所讨论的机制被理解为交流过程，而不是片面的信息处理。最后，Fehr指出，从研究的角度来看，友谊是被忽视的关系。本提案从两个角度解决了这一需求：社会和人格心理学的角度。其目的是将两种成功的研究结合起来，以更深入地了解唤起和维持好感的机制。Hess和Fischer（2013, 2014）的社会关系模仿模型描述了情绪模仿是如何调节社会关系的，这种模仿反映了情绪的面部表情。人们认为，对一个人的消极态度会导致情绪模仿受到限制甚至停止。然而，情感表达的一致性会导致社会温暖，从而产生好感。因此，情感模仿是互动目标的一个功能。因此，情景上下文具有特殊的作用，因为它影响交互目标。在人格心理学中，Paulhus（1998）和Back及其同事的研究表明，在亚临床自恋量表上得分较高的人最初在陌生人见面时更受欢迎。然而，这种最初的流行随着时间的推移而改变，并最终逆转。巴克和他的同事们的研究表明，情绪化的面部表情很重要。然而，迄今为止的研究大多集中在个人角度的现象上。此外，自恋的多方面本质（代理外向、自我中心对抗和自恋神经质）还没有得到充分的认识。这项拟议中的研究将模仿和自恋与友谊产生的关系结合起来。这与赫斯和费舍尔的模型有一个有趣的联系，这将是本项目的重点。研究问题的目的是情感模仿在一般的喜好发展过程中的作用，特别是对自恋价值观升高的人的喜好过程。获得的数据将使用连续时间建模方法进行评估。

Fehr (2012) describes a process model of the emergence and decay of friendship. An initiation phase is followed by phases of formation, maintenance, and, if necessary, decline and dissolution. Of importance for this proposal is that in all phases mutual liking (liking) plays a prominent role. Fehr also mentions important potential mechanisms that lead to the emergence of liking and to the maintenance or decline of liking. Fehr explicitly emphasizes aspects of personality. It is also important that the mechanisms addressed are understood as communicative processes and not as one-sided information processing. Finally, Fehr states that friendship, from the perspective of research, is the neglected relationship. This proposal addresses this desideratum from two perspectives: a social and a personality psychological perspective. The aim is to combine two successful research strands to gain more insight into the mechanisms that evoke and sustain liking. The model of mimicry in social relationships by Hess and Fischer (2013, 2014) describes how emotional mimicry, which reflects emotional facial expressions, regulates social relationships. It is assumed that a negative attitude towards a person leads to emotional mimicry being limited or even stopped. However, congruence in emotional expressions leads to social warmth and thus to liking. Emotional mimicry is therefore a function of the interaction goals. Thus, the situational context gets a special role, because it influences interaction goals. In personality psychology, the work of Paulhus (1998) and Back and colleagues shows that people with higher scores on subclinical narcissism scales are initially more popular when strangers meet. However, this initial popularity changes over time and eventually reverses. The work of Back and colleagues shows that emotional facial expressions are important. However, research to date has mostly focused on the phenomenon from the perspective of individuals. Moreover, the facetted nature of narcissism (agentic exraversion, self-centered antagonism, and narcissistic neuroticism) has not yet been sufficiently appreciated. The proposed study now combines research on mimicry and narcissism in relation to the emergence of friendships. Here lies an interesting connection to the model of Hess and Fischer, which will be focused in this project. The research questions aim at the role of emotional mimicry in the development of liking in general and the course of liking for persons with elevated narcissistic values in particular. The data obtained will be evaluated using continuous time modeling approaches.
