Abstract

We report descriptive statistics in Table 1. Men scored higher in neurotic narcissism, Machiavellian tactics, meanness, boldness, disinhibition, verbal sadism, physical sadism, indirect sadism, and openness than women. Women used Instagram longer and more frequently than men did, used Facebook more frequently, and reported higher honesty-humility, emotionality, and conscientiousness than men.
