“…Next, our study responds to calls for the greater use of longitudinal data in collective action research (e.g., Hässler et al, 2022;Thomas et al, 2021). By employing a general community sample and short, two-week intervals, it complements previous studies that used data collected among the committed supporters of a given cause (e.g., Thomas et al, 2021) or utilized longer (e.g., Górska et al, 2022;Sengupta et al, 2022) time lags between the subsequent measurements.…”

“…While collective action may be conceptualized both as a dynamic phenomenon and a stable individual difference, this duality has rarely been recognized in empirical research so far (for the exceptions, see Sengupta et al, 2022;Thomas et al, 2021). Instead, past studies investigated temporal changes in engagement using the traditional CLPM (e.g., Thomas et al, 2020;Górska et al, 2020Górska et al, , 2022, which does not separate within-and between-person variance (Hamaker et al, 2015), risking incorrect conclusions about intraindividual processes. By disentangling the within-person processes from stable between-person differences, the RI-CLPM allowed us to capture the dual (i.e., both static and dynamic) character of collective action.…”

“…This may be because many longitudinal studies on protest behavior have only two time-points (e.g.,Bilali et al, 2020;Górska et al, 2020Górska et al, , 2022, which does not allow using more complex models of longitudinal relationships(Usami et al, 2019).…”

Despite an increasing interest in the drivers of intergroup solidarity, the within-person longitudinal relationships between advantaged group members’ engagement for disadvantaged groups and its postulated antecedents remain scarcely tested. In the context of the refugee crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we conducted a three-wave longitudinal survey ( NT1 = 804, NT2 = 702, and NT3 = 624) assessing Poles’ (the advantaged group) willingness to act for Ukrainians (the disadvantaged group), together with three hypothesized predictors—moral convictions, intergroup contact, and politicized identity. Employing a random intercept cross-lagged panel model that separates between- from within-person variance, we found that within-person changes in moral convictions and friendship contact directly predicted subsequent action intentions. Contrary to past theorizing, politicized identity emerged as consequence rather than an antecedent of collective action. Superficial intergroup contact indirectly predicted engagement intentions by facilitating cross-group friendship. We discuss the implications of our findings for current models of collective action.

“…In contrast, due to its defensive nature, it backfires, leading to maladaptive psychological outcomes. For example, it was found to predict negative view of human nature (i.e., social cynicism [39]), conspiracy beliefs [16], ingroup disloyalty [29], intergroup hostility [40,41], and lower intergroup forgiveness [34]. Bertin and colleagues [17] reported that national narcissism was associated with the rejection of climate science, an effect that was mediated by climate change conspiracy beliefs.…”

In the present research, we focus on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and empirically examine how different forms of social identity (defensive vs. secure national identity and identification with all humanity) and conspiracy beliefs are associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. In two cross-sectional nationwide surveys (Study 1, n = 432, and Study 2, n = 807), we found that willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 was negatively linked to national narcissism, but positively related to a secure national identification, that is, national identification without the narcissistic component. In both studies, we also found that the relationship between narcissistic (vs. secure) national identity and unwillingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 was mediated by COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy beliefs. These effects were present even when we accounted for basic demographics (Studies 1 and 2) and identification with all humanity (Study 2), which had been found to be a significant predictor of health behaviors during COVID-19. In line with previous research, identification with all humanity was positively associated with the willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19. We discuss the implications for understanding the role of the way in which people identify with their national and supranational groups in antiscience attitudes and (mal)adaptive behaviors during COVID-19 pandemic.

“…(2020) demonstrated that those participants who scored high on national narcissism showed negative reactions to films that criticized their in‐group and reminded them of crimes committed by their nation during and after World War II. This type of defensiveness, however, was not significantly predicted by secure national identification (or secure in‐group commitment), which has different antecedents and consequences than collective narcissism (e.g., Bocian et al., 2021; Cichocka & Cisłak, 2020; Cislak et al., 2018; Dyduch‐Hazar et al., 2019; Golec de Zavala & Lantos, 2020; Górska et al., 2022; Marchlewska et al., 2020; Marchlewska, Cichocka et al., 2022; Marchlewska, Górska et al., 2022).…”

Over the past 30 years, the Catholic Church has been rocked by a series of child sexual abuse scandals worldwide. Some of the religious officials suggested that the children are partly to blame for being sexually abused by priests. We assumed that such convictions (i.e., pedophilia myth acceptance) should be associated with a defensive commitment to one's religious group, captured by religious collective narcissism. In two studies conducted among Polish participants (Study 1, longitudinal, n = 719; Study 2, cross-sectional, n = 357), we found that pedophilia myth acceptance was positively predicted by Catholic narcissism but negatively by secure identification with Catholics.We additionally demonstrated that the effect of Catholic narcissism on pedophilia myth acceptance was mediated by a siege mentality with respect to the religious in-group. We discuss the role of different types of group commitment in predicting in-group criticism and prejudice against underaged victims of sexual abuse.
