The academic term for the Bayesian part is Bayesian Brain. Also see The Elephant In The Brain. The model itself (humans as singular agents doing performances) has some amount of empirical evidence (note, revealed preference models deductively imply performativity), and is (in my view) the most parsimonious. I haven’t seen empirical evidence specific to its application to narcissism, though.
