Collective Narcissism and In-Group Satisfaction Predict Opposite Attitudes Toward Refugees via Attribution of Hostility
Open accessAbstract
We examined whether and why collective narcissism (i.e., resentment for insufficient recognition of the in-group’s importance) versus in-group satisfaction (i.e., a belief that the in-group and one’s membership in it are reasons to be proud) have opposite, unique associations with hostility towards Syrian refugees in Poland. Results of two cross-sectional studies (Study 1, N=1066 and Study 2, N=419) converge to indicate that collective narcissism predicts hostility towards Syrian refugees via attributing Syrian refugees with hostile intentions towards Poles. In-group satisfaction is associated with rejection of hostile actions towards Syrian refugees because it decreases hostile attribution bias with regards to Syrian refugees. Thus, being a satisfied member of a national group promotes tolerance towards refugees, while collective narcissism is associated with blaming refugees for provoking the in-group’s hostility.

Residual ingroup satisfaction is not related to revengefulness.

The Discussion (page unavailable) says in-group satisfaction had a unique negative association with believing intergroup revenge is desirable, rather than no association. The paper reports this as a previous finding, not as a result of its refugee studies. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA longitudinal study clarified that collective narcissism and ingroup satisfaction have opposite unique relationships with the hedonistic belief about revenge, and this belief mediated the link between collective narcissism and aggression towards Syrian refugees among those collective narcissists who believed that Syrian refugees threatened Polish values and economic welfare.
“In addition, a longitudinal study clarified that collective narcissism and ingroup satisfaction have opposite unique relationships with the hedonistic belief about revenge, the conviction that getting back at those who hurt us is emotionally rewarding.This belief mediated the link between collective narcissism and aggression towards Syrian refugees among those collective narcissists who believed”

The same pattern of results was replicated among American collective narcissists who reliably chose to stab a voodoo doll representing a Muslim person with pins; this relationship was mediated by the belief that symbolic aggression would improve participants' mood.

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.
