"We’ve been on this self-admiration cultural (8) for a long time," Twenge says. (9) Twenge’s take on today’s young people isn’t universal.

Twenge’s studies have found more narcissistic traits and a (13) rate of increase among college students today, but Kali found that students’ narcissism was (14) greater in 2006 than in 1976. Twenge’s most recent paper studied the same data as Kali--more than 20 000 college students from 2002 to 2007.
