Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
The concept of a narcissist is clearly offered.
The desired outcomes are highlighted, and specific behavioral interactions with a narcissist are explained.
Practical strategies (e.g., gray rock, setting boundaries) are emphasized. Learners are informed and equipped with actionable tools they can apply immediately in personal or professional settings.
The video is well-structured with clearly defined segments and timestamps, facilitating easy navigation and comprehension. Each concept builds logically on the previous one.
Concerns:
Adding research citations and references would improve the video: While the content is psychologically grounded, the video does not directly cite peer-reviewed sources, empirical studies, or clinical guidelines. This weakens its use in formal academic or clinical training settings unless supplemented by external scholarly material.
Adding an explicit Trigger Warning would improve the video: Considering the sensitive nature of emotional abuse and manipulation, a warning for viewers who may have trauma history would enhance ethical and emotional safety.
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The overall presentation goals are clearly stated at the start of the presentation.
The learning potential is well reflected in the video presentation.

Concerns:
The content may reflect Western psychological frameworks and assumptions. Its effectiveness may diminish in cultural contexts where confrontation and boundary assertion are discouraged or interpreted differently.
The video does not include embedded questions, formative assessments, or feedback opportunities. This limits direct measurement of student learning outcomes unless instructors create external assessment tools.
