Raising Happy Children Who Succeed in School: Lessons From China and the United States (2014, background): “…in the context of an integrated style may ensure that the emotional functioning among children produced by American learning-related parenting is not so positive that it becomes narcissistic (for characterization of recent generations of Americans as narcissistic, see Twenge & Foster, 2008).”

Changes in Dispositional Empathy in American College Students Over Time: A Meta-Analysis (2011, methodology): “In a system of competition and success like that built into American colleges (where students display high and rising narcissism; Twenge & Foster, 2008), perhaps narcissistic behavior is manifested in subtle ways, such as by cheating, lying, and manipulating others for personal gain.”
Generational Increases in Agentic Self-evaluations among American College Students, 1966–2009 (2012, result): “This yields an effect size (d) that reflects the amount of variance explained by birth cohort among individuals and yields effect sizes identical to those produced by individuallevel data (Twenge & Foster, 2008).”
