“…On the other hand, we found independent effects of religiosity and national narcissism on prejudice, even in such a cultural context. The Polish cultural context is also vital for distinguishing agentic and communal collective narcissism (Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al, 2021). Although we predicted a slightly different relationship between agentic and communal collective narcissism with prejudice and numinous constructs, we analyzed these both forms as one broad phenomenon due to a strong positive correlation between these two forms of national narcissism in this study.…”

“…Collective narcissism was measured (Wave 1) with the (9 items) Agentic Collective Narcissism Scale (Golec de Zavala et al, 2009) and the (7 items) Collective Communal Narcissism Inventory (Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al, 2020, 2021). Participants were asked how much they agreed (1 = definitely disagree ; 7 = definitely agree ) with statements for the former (e.g., “I wish other groups would more quickly recognize authority of my group”) and the latter (e.g., “My group is extraordinarily friendly toward other groups.”); we removed one item (i.e., “If my group had more to say, the world would be a better place.”) from the former to reduce redundancy and potential multicollinearity with an item from the latter (i.e., “My group will make the world a better place.”).…”

“…Both forms of collective narcissism are related to more prejudice. However, communal collective narcissism is related to its indirect forms, while agentic collective narcissism is related to overt hostility toward out-groups (Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al, 2021).…”

In the present study (N = 587), we collected data from the general population of Poland-a highly homogeneous country-to examine how religiosity and spirituality were related to prejudice toward the threatening out-groups of (a) refugees and (b) sexual minorities. The effects of religiosity and spirituality on prejudice were juxtaposed with the effects of national or communal narcissism. We found that religiosity was related to national narcissism and spirituality, yet the effects of religiosity on prejudice were independent of the effects of national narcissism. Despite refugees and sexual minorities representing different social groups, the relationships between religiosity, spirituality, and national narcissism with prejudice toward both these groups were similar. Our study suggests that psychological mechanisms involved in the link between religiosity, spirituality, and prejudice are distinct. One path is based on perceiving threats toward tradition and social norms (i.e., religiosity and national narcissism), while the second path is based on lower competitiveness (i.e., spirituality). Therefore, our study allowed us to explain how religiosity could be related to greater prejudice toward refugees and sexual minorities, revealing more similarities to national narcissism than spirituality.

“…We assessed intergroup prosocialness (Wave 3) by adapting to Poland and for COVID-19 a scenario-based measure assessing individual differences in intention to help tsunami victims (Vollhardt & Staub, 2011). Participants read a short description about the current situation in Italy (see the supplemental material) and then responded to four questions (e.g., "The Polish government has a responsibility to help Italy") corresponding to four of the six items of the original scale but replacing "US" with "Poland" (Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al, 2021). We excluded one item referring to helping Poles in Italy because it was irrelevant to outgroup helping.…”

“…As such, collective narcissism is related to the derogation of others when narcissists are confronted with unfavorable feedback about their ingroup (Golec de Zavala et al, 2016). Yet this effect is moderated by the way people enhance their group (Żemojtel-Piotrowska et al, 2021).…”

Collective narcissists are hostile towards outgroup members, especially in response to threats against the ingroup. In the current study ( N = 662; Polish community sample), we examined the associations between collective narcissism and intergroup relations using the agency–communion model of collective narcissism during the initial weeks of the COVID-19 threat in Poland. Assuming the COVID-19 threat is agentic (i.e., related to biological and economic danger), we expected it to be unrelated to collective narcissism’s communal aspect. We also expected that collective narcissists would enhance their ingroup image to modify the effects of the COVID-19 threat on intergroup relations. In general, collective narcissism was related to less favorable attitudes toward the European Union, more favorable attitudes toward China, and a willingness to help Italians. The agentic aspect of narcissism was unrelated to intergroup prosocialness, while the communal aspect of narcissism was unrelated to attitudes toward the European Union. The COVID threat suppressed unfavorable attitudes towards the European Union among collective narcissists. Therefore, the COVID threat has limited yet unexpected effects on attitudes toward outgroups among collective narcissists.

Narcissism, national narcissism, COVID-19 conspiracy belief, and social media use as predictors of compliance with COVID-19 public health guidelines

Understanding health belief models, and the variables that influence adherence to public health measures imposed by local governments and international health bodies, is crucial to slowing down the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Conspiracy theories about the virus have quickly spread on social media and have been linked to reluctance to comply with COVID-19 regulations. Personality traits such as narcissism and collective national narcissism have also been associated with the way we perceive severity and susceptibility to the disease. To examine this further, participants (N = 183) completed an online questionnaire measuring belief in COVID-19 conspiracies, trait narcissism, national narcissism, and social media usage. A model containing these variables was able to significantly predict adherence to COVID-19 preventative health behaviours, with higher levels of COVID-19 conspiracy belief, narcissism, and social media usage all contributing to reduced adherence to recommended COVID-19 health behaviours. The findings suggest conspiracy beliefs, narcissism, and social media play a key role in adherence to behaviours orientated towards stopping the spread of COVID-19. Governments and social media companies need to demonstrate greater awareness of the negative effects of conspiracy theories spread through social media, in addition to awareness of how these effects may be greater in more narcissistic individuals.
