Apply the chocolate cake model to a person who is attracted to someone high in narcissism.
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- The chocolate cake model was developed to explain attraction to narcissists and the subsequent relationships that might result.
- "Chocolate cake" is a proxy for "attractive, good thing," and, when faced with approaching an attractive, good thing, most people would indeed approach that good thing.
- Narcissists appear just that way when first meeting someone; they are charming, witty, bon vivants who seem exciting and interesting.
- The trouble with cake, however, is that the initial burst of goodness doesn't last; cake's nutritional value and long-term benefits are short-lived, and a feeling of regret eventually emerges from diving into the dessert tray too quickly.
- So too with narcissists. As a relationship with a narcissist develops, it becomes clear that, on many dimensions, this person is not an empathic, involved, concerned, and caring partner.
