At the beginning of the experiment, it was aimed to research whether individuals who are high in grandiose narcissism demonstrate an active use of Facebook more than those with lower rates of grandiose narcissism. Along with this, the study attempted to investigate whether individuals who are high in vulnerable narcissism demonstrate a passive use of Facebook more than those who are low in vulnerable narcissism. According to our first hypothesis, it was estimated that Grandiose narcissism will be positively correlated with an active use of Facebook; results indicated this to be consistent with our hypothesis, however, only to the extent of 0.15 — a small correlation. Secondly, it was hypothesised that vulnerable narcissism will be positively related to the passive use of Facebook; correlating positively to the extent of 0.18 — a more significant relationship than the first hypothesis, but still, only deemed as a small correlation.
