Anti‐immigrant attitudes are not only widespread among Eurosceptic nationalists, but also among people who feel that immigration threatens European values and identity. We therefore assumed that the connection between nationalism and xenophobia can only partially explain the rise of hostile attitudes in the post‐2015 period. In two online surveys (N = 1,160), we compared how (a) glorification versus attachment and (b) national versus European identity can predict anti‐immigrant and anti‐Muslim attitudes in Hungary. In the first study, national and European glorification predicted higher anti‐immigrant and anti‐Muslim prejudice. However, attachment with Europe predicted positive, while attachment with Hungary predicted negative attitudes towards immigrants. We replicated this pattern in a second study and found that the different predictions of national versus European identities were mediated by attitudes towards the EU. Eurosceptic attitudes were associated with increased hostility towards both immigrants and Muslim people and reflected a perceived contradiction between the interest of the nation and that of the EU. We conclude that for a better understanding of intergroup hostility towards Muslim immigrants in Europe, we need to simultaneously consider the psychological phenomenon of ingroup glorification and the values and norms of the social categories with which people identify.

Integration of application layer traffic optimization (ALTO) in software-defined mobile networks could have several benefits for orchestration of endpoint selection for distributed services. ALTO can provide guidance, e.g., in the redirection of end users to appropriate in-network cache, content distribution network server or virtual network function instance during service chaining. ALTO service provides appropriate level of abstraction of network and cost maps, enforcing the policies of mobile network operator and optionally other actors, but keeping the privacy of network topology information. SDN controllers can enforce flow redirection and can dynamically provide abstracted network and cost maps to ALTO server. In this paper we present the operation of ALTO in software-defined networks from the point of view of mobile network operators, and describe our proof-of-concept implementation.

In our study, we investigated the relationship between collective narcissism and group-based moral exclusion. Since collective narcissists are motivated to see their group as unique and superior, and tend to show hostility towards outgroups threatening this presumed superiority, we hypothesized that perceived intergroup threat and social distance can mediate the relationship between collective narcissism and group-based moral exclusion. We tested this assumption in two intergroup contexts by investigating the beliefs of members of the Hungarian majority population about Muslim immigrants and Roma people. Our results showed that collective narcissism had a positive indirect effect on group-based moral exclusion in the case of both outgroups. Furthermore, both threat and social distance were significant mediators in the case of Muslim immigrants, but mostly social distance mediated the indirect effect of collective narcissism on moral exclusion of the Roma. These results indicate that collective narcissists tend to rationalize their intergroup hostility by the mechanism of motivated moral exclusion, and to find suitable justifications for doing so.

The present study examines the effectiveness of moral‐exemplar interventions in the context of recurring oppression and historical trauma. Moral exemplars are individuals who have risked important aspects of their lives to save the lives of members of other social groups. In two experimental studies (total N = 405), we tested the hypothesis that presenting ingroup or outgroup moral exemplars improves intergroup relationships. We also tested the effects of the prototypicality of moral exemplars by manipulating the frequency of helping behavior in the perpetrator group. We used open‐ended questions to qualitatively investigate how participants viewed moral exemplars. We failed to find positive effects of moral‐exemplar interventions. The qualitative analysis confirmed that the in‐group moral exemplar could be used as an “alibi” to justify the in‐group's transgressions, while the outgroup moral exemplar was subtyped. Importantly, our findings do not invalidate, but complement, the moral‐exemplar intervention literature by offering insights into future work with such interventions.

A nemzeti azonosulás nehezen kezelhető, mérhető változó. A kezdeti, egydimenziós azonosuláskutatások ellentmondásos eredményekhez vezettek. Úgy tűnik, hogy a nemzeti azonosulás egydimenziós megközelítése sem konceptuálisan, sem empirikusan nem állja meg a helyét (összefoglalóan Ashmore, Deaux és McLaughlin-Volpe, 2004). Kutatásunk első szakaszában egy, a magyar nemzeti azonosulást vizsgáló kérdőívet alakítottunk ki. Az adatainkra végzett faktoranalízis eredményeként olyan kétfaktoros azonosulási modellt kaptunk, amely leginkább Roccas, Klar és Liviatan (2006) kétdimenziós azonosulási modelljének feleltethető meg. Ez a modell a társas identitás és a szelfkategorizációs elméletek (Tajfel, 1978; Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher és Wetherell, 1987) mellett a nacionalizmus és a patriotizmus hagyományos felosztására épül (Adorno, Frenkelbrunswik, Levinson és Sanford, 1950; Kosterman és Feshbach, 1989; Staub, 1997). A kérdőív kialakítását és bemérését követően érvényességi vizsgálatokat végeztünk, amelyek megmutatták, hogy az azonosulás két különböző módja — a kötődés és a glorifikáció — eltérő módon kapcsolódik az olyan csoportalapú jelenségekhez, mint például a csoportalapú érzelmek, a csoportot felmentő stratégiák használata, vagy a külső csoport kompenzálására való hajlandóság a saját csoport agresszív fellépését követően.
