New research indicates that younger people tend to be more self-absorbed than older generations. This trend, researchers say, is true of all generations over the past century. Experts say people tend to become less narcissistic because the lessons learned over a lifetime have a way of humbling people.

Getty Images New research indicates that younger people tend to be more self-absorbed than older generations. This trend, researchers say, is true of all generations over the past century. Experts say people tend to become less narcissistic because the lessons learned over a lifetime have a way of humbling people. Are younger people more prone to self-centered behavior? A new study suggests they just might be. Researchers say they’ve discovered that most people do become less narcissistic as they get older. People who are self-absorbed tend to remain more narcissistic over their lifespan than people who are naturally empathetic, according to William J. Chopik, PhD, an assistant professor at Michigan State University, and Kevin J. Grimm, PhD, a professor at Arizona State University. However, these traits tend to lessen as people get older. “We found that more maladaptive forms of narcissism [such as hypersensitivity and willfulness] declined across life, and individual autonomy increased across life,” the study researchers wrote. “Narcissism is a real thing, but it does get better over time,” Dr. Chopik told Healthline. “Most people encounter things in life that makes them more humble. A first job, where you have to work as part of a team, can make you more selfless. Being a good relationship partner requires taking someone else’s perspective.” However, how much people adapt during their lifetime can vary greatly. “Some people change dramatically while others don’t change at all,” he said. “One of the big mysteries in all of personality research is why people change.” Melting the ‘snowflake’ theory Contrary to “snowflake” commentary about hypersensitive 21st century youth, the researchers who studied narcissism among 747 participants born between 1923 and 1969 found that past generations were actually somewhat more narcissistic when they were younger than those born later. “More later-born birth cohorts were lower in hypersensitivity and higher in autonomy compared with earlier-born birth cohorts. These differences were most apparent among those born after the 1930s,” the study authors wrote. Research has shown, for example, that the generation born during the Great Depression and who entered young adulthood in the early 1950s was more self-centered than the supposedly navel-gazing baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s. Overall, however, “the generations aren’t actually that different from each other,” Chopik said. Rather, young people in general are typically more narcissistic than older people, regardless of when they were born. Participants — about three quarters of whom were female — were studied from age 13 to 77. Researchers say they found that men tend to be more narcissistic than women. The researchers looked at several different groups of participants. Some received personality assessments starting as early as 1923 and were tracked for more than 70 years. Chopik noted that data was lacking for those born after 2000. “Next we want to follow millennials and generation Zs because a lot of the current debate is about these people,” he said.

Fidelity National Financial (FNF) is embarking on a restructuring plan that will see the group split into two separate companies. FNF operates as a holding company, with controlling stakes in fintech services firm Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) and insurer Fidelity National Title (FNT). FNF's restructuring plan entails eliminating the holding company and involves a number of transactions that will result in the group combining the three publicly-traded companies into two units. Under the complex arrangement, FNF will begin by transferring its specialty insurance business and some other assets to FNT in exchange for stock and spin the subsidiary off to shareholders as a public company. FNF will then spin off its ownership stake in FNT to its shareholders in a tax-free distribution, leaving its ownership in FIS as its only asset. FIS will then merge with FNF and issue FIS stock in a tax-free transaction, making the FIS business completely independent.
