We investigate the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue. In our first three studies, we show that the virtuous victim signal can facilitate nonreciprocal resource transfer from others to the signaler. Next, we develop and validate a victim signaling scale that we combine with an established measure of virtue signaling to operationalize the virtuous victim construct. We show that individuals with Dark Triad traits—Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy—more frequently signal virtuous victimhood, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables that are commonly associated with victimization in Western societies. In Study 5, we show that a specific dimension of Machiavellianism—amoral manipulation—and a form of narcissism that reflects a person’s belief in their superior prosociality predict more frequent virtuous victim signaling. Studies 3, 4, and 6 test our hypothesis that the frequency of emitting virtuous victim signal predicts a person’s willingness to engage in and endorse ethically questionable behaviors, such as lying to earn a bonus, intention to purchase counterfeit products and moral judgments of counterfeiters, and making exaggerated claims about being harmed in an organizational context.

Do these psychobabble fooks ever think in plain English?
Half the justification for any professional’s salary is just understanding the lingo they need to talk to other people in their industry :)
I first thought: common sense. And then: There goes the next grant application.
Psychology is charlatanism. It’s all pseudoscientific crap and I refuse to give credence to any of their “studies” even if they support my personal beliefs. Better to expunge this worthless profession from society. They cause only harm with their kicked-in-the-head “man is an animal” theories.
This paper helped me understand a former roommate, and find a way to defeat her. She made my life hell for three months. She was the most bat-guano crazy woman I’ve ever met in my life. This paper has its uses.

WOw thanks for posting—a buried story. Interestingly it was triggered by someone needing to find out a backstory to that suspect photograph of the cop hug, which all makes sense now,on a personal psychological level, rather than being exploited for political purposes.
classic academic impenetrable mumbo-jumbo masquerading as “science”-—never fails to amaze me how entire “disciplines” have been choked to death by unimaginative people who wouldn’t know an original thought if it bit them on the ass.
Yes, talk to the other trained monkeys, but then they either forget that, or, use their ambiguous amalgam of prestigious psychopomp.

Agree 100%. Psychiatry and Psychology are nothing but pseudoscience.
The profession has no idea what it is doing, and when caught, it simply manufactures more "syndromes" and "conditions" to cover its own tracks.
And how do they "treat" people? Well, with lots of talking (at a very high hourly rate). Lots and lots of talking - and sometimes a viscous cocktail of drugs whose side effects alone poison both the mind and the body.
Call them Witch Doctors, because that's what they are.
