It’s pretty clear to everyone that men are more likely than women to be Internet trolls. And, according to researchers, there’s a very good reason for this.
Researchers found that it’s all because men are more likely to be narcissists than women. This means they’re more likely than women to harass others online and engage in antisocial behavior such as cyberbullying, aggressively retaliating against negative comments and attention-seeking.
While men are out there, puffing out their chests and ripping each other down, women – the scientists say – are more likely to go online for “pro-social” reasons, like community building and connecting with others. (Huffington Post)
