Abstract

In four studies, the authors explored factors contributing to negative attitudes and behavior toward Arab immigrants in the United States. In Study 1, Americans reported greater threat from Arabs, compared to other groups (e.g., Latino, Asian). In Study 2, they tested the effects of ingroup identification and group-level narcissism on attitudes toward Arab, Latino, Asian, and European immigrants. Identification interacted with group narcissism in predicting attitudes toward Arab (but not other) immigrants, such that identification predicted negative attitudes toward Arab immigrants only at mean and high levels of group narcissism. Study 3 explored the convergent and discriminant validity of the group narcissism construct. In Study 4, the authors added a behavioral dependent measure. Again, ingroup identification predicted negative behavior and attitudes toward an Arab immigrant group (but not comparison groups) only at mean and high levels of group narcissism. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

  • Collective narcissism predicts intergroup hostility, especially towards outgroups perceived as threatening to the ingroup's privileged status.

    “Indeed, studies show that collective narcissism predicts intergroup hostility, especially towards outgroups perceived as threatening to the ingroup's privileged status (Lyons et al., 2010),”

  • American collective narcissism is related to prejudice towards Arabs, who are perceived as harboring hostile intentions of dominating the United States, in comparison to outgroups such as Asians, Latinos, or Europeans.

    “In a similar vein, American collective narcissism is related to prejudice towards Arabs, who are the only outgroup perceived as harboring hostile intentions of dominating the United States, in comparison to outgroups such as Asians, Latinos, or Europeans (Lyons et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
