Prior work on the relationships between team identification and spectators' reactions to one's team victory has largely neglected the potential effects of mediating variables. In this research, we proposed that the process of Basking in Reflected Glory [BIRGing - the tendency to reduce the distance between oneself and one's team; Cialdini, R. B., Bordon, R. J., Thorne, A., Walker, M. R., Freeman, S., & Sloan, L. R. (1976). Basking in reflected glory: Three (football) field studies. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 34, 366-375] would lead spectators to almost take ownership of victories and share its benefits, thereby impacting their sense of national belonging in a positive manner. To this end, participants (N = 73) were asked to watch an edited video clip showing a victory of the French national rugby team playing against South Africa. As expected, results revealed that BIRGing mediated the relationship between team identification and one's sense of national belonging. In closing, a number of implications are discussed along with future research avenues pertaining to the sport spectatorship literature.

“…Our decision reflects how these minorities have been historically referred to and are currently identified in extant research on discrimination in France (Masclet, 2017;McAvay & Safi, 2023;Safi, 2013). This terminology also captures the major parameters recognized as important to the self-identification of minorities themselves (Simon & Tiberj, 2018). While policies of assimilation in France have historically denied multi-culturalism (Beaman & Petts 2020;Simon 2015), more recent analyses made possible by the Trajectories and Origins Survey (TeO; Beauchemin et al, 2018) demonstrate that the experience of migration shapes self-perceptions of identity and belonging over several generations (Simon & Tiberj, 2018).…”

“…For instance, minorities are required to abandon their cultural affiliations especially in public settings (Kamiejski et al, 2012b). As such, French national identity is generally viewed as being 'exclusive' (Badea, 2012;Kamiejski et al, 2012a;Ocak, 2016;Simon, 2012Simon, , 2013. 2 Significantly, higher French National Identification predicts negative diversity responses (Adam-Troian et al, 2019;Badea, 2012;Badea et al, 2018;Da Silva et al, 2021;Pehrson et al, 2009;Weldon, 2006).…”

“…2 This inclination of French national identity is particularly promoted since 2007. Indeed, successive governments have emphasized the need to curb the 'identity crisis' imputed to the (supposed) suboptimal integration of North-African and Sub-Saharan immigrant descendants (Ocak, 2016;Simon, 2012Simon, , 2013.

“…Thus, they were included in the final sample(Leys et al, 2019).5 Research showed that group membership (e.g., majority vs. minority) impacts national belonging(Verkuyten & Martinovic, 2006; see also,Staerklé et al, 2010) and the type of cultural norms favored and endorsed(Berry, 2006), including Laïcité norms(Kamiejski et al, 2012). Thus, as North-and West-African descendants represent the main 'visible' minorities, we excluded them from the main analysis(Kamiejski et al, 2012a;Simon, 2012Simon, , 2013.6 Participants were invited to respond to the following item: 'French political attitudes are usually categorized on a spectrum that ranges from extreme left to extreme right. Where would you position yourself on this scale?'…”

Black Lives Matter… but to Whom? An Examination of Nationally-Grounded Determinants of Black Lives Matter Support

Black Lives Matter (BLM) has gained momentum in its fight against racism crossnationally. Yet, there are conflicting opinions on BLM. To account for this, previous research relied on cross-national predictors (e.g., Social Dominance Orientation; SDO). However, BLM support needs to be examined via the prism of national contexts and their peculiarities. Here, we claim that nationally-grounded determinants (next to cross-national ones) shape BLM (dis-)approval. Based on national identity construal, we argue that the way individuals identify with it predicts BLM support. Further, we expect this relationship to be mediated by personal endorsement of national beliefs about diversity. This claim was tested in a French ecological context, where: 1) national identity is based on a straitened view of diversity and 2) diversity issues are regulated via two antagonistic cultural norms: one is egalitarian (i.e., Historic Laïcité) and the other is assimilationist (i.e., New Laïcité). In two pre-registered and well-powered studies (Study 1, N = 305; Study 2, N = 489), we anticipated and found that National Identification negatively predicts BLM support. Crucially, cultural norm endorsements dually-mediated this relationship, suggesting their instrumental function in BLM support. We considered, via path analysis, an additional pathway involving SDO. We found that nationally-grounded and cross-national paths operate jointly to shape BLM support. We replicated these results one year later, providing support for our model. These findings are of relevance beyond the French context as they contribute to an emerging literature examining how intra-and inter-national forces shape, in tandem, diversity responses.
