This article introduces the concept of collective narcissism--an emotional investment in an unrealistic belief about the in group's greatness--aiming to explain how feelings about an ingroup shape a tendency to aggress against outgroups. The results of 5 studies indicate that collective, but not individual, narcissism predicts intergroup aggressiveness. Collective narcissism is related to high private and low public collective self-esteem and low implicit group esteem. It predicts perceived threat from outgroups, unwillingness to forgive outgroups, preference for military aggression over and above social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism, and blind patriotism. The relationship between collective narcissism and aggressiveness is mediated by perceived threat from outgroups and perceived insult to the ingroup. In sum, the results indicate that collective narcissism is a form of high but ambivalent group esteem related to sensitivity to threats to the ingroup's image and retaliatory aggression.
本文介绍了集体自恋的概念——对群体伟大的不切实际信念的情感投入——旨在解释群体认同感如何影响对外群体的攻击倾向。5 项研究的结果表明，集体自恋而非个体自恋预测了群体间的攻击性。集体自恋与高私人、低公共集体自尊和低内隐群体评价有关。它预测了对外群体的感知威胁、不愿意原谅外群体、对军事侵略的偏好甚于社会支配倾向、右翼独裁主义和盲目爱国主义。集体自恋与攻击性之间的关系受到对外群体的感知威胁和对内群体的感知侮辱的影响。总之，研究结果表明，集体自恋是一种高度但矛盾的群体自尊形式，与对群体形象受到威胁的敏感性和报复性攻击有关。
