Which is the prevailing cultural meme: that lazy millennials eat too much avocado toast, or that clueless elders think lazy millennials eat too much avocado toast?

In fact, when we did that exact analysis we found some evidence that narcissism actually decreased during the purported "epidemic" of narcissism:http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797617724208 …
I think this sort of highlights the need to ground claims about population traits to some kind of measurable behavior, e.g. if people are becoming more narcissistic, how might that be reflected in crime/social service/employment data, etc.?

You’ll still have validity questions left and right. To what degree does the behavior actually reflect narcissism, extraversion, etc.? Crime was especially high in early 1990s and dropped. Are kids today higher in A and C now than 1991?

And the meaning of a behavior can change with age or time too, same as questionnaire items. e.g. Taking a photo of yourself and distributing it to 100s of friends is a very different act in 2018 than it was in 1988
