We investigated whether collective narcissism (i.e., believing that the in-group is exceptional but insufficiently recognized by others) and in-group satisfaction (i.e., believing that the in-group is a source of satisfaction) have opposite, unique associations with intergroup aggression via belief in the hedonistic function of revenge (i.e., an expectation of emotional reward from harming others in response to feeling oneself harmed). Results of two studies conducted in Poland (N = 675) found that collective narcissism is positively related to belief in the hedonistic function of revenge, whereas in-group satisfaction is negatively related, and both are related to intergroup aggression. These relationships were found only when the overlap between collective narcissism and in-group satisfaction was partialled out. The results shed a new light on the mechanisms linking in-group positivity to out-group derogation, and highlight the importance of investigating revenge motivations in the intergroup relations.
我们考察了集体自恋（即，相信群体是特殊的，但其他人没有充分认识到这一点）和群体满意度（即，相信群体是满足感的来源）是否通过对复仇享乐功能的信念（即，对因受到伤害而伤害他人的情感回报的期望）与群体间攻击具有相反的、独特的关联。这是在波兰进行的两项研究的结果（N = 675），发现集体自恋与复仇的享乐功能信念呈正相关，而群体满意度则呈负相关，并且两者都与群体间攻击有关。只有当集体自恋和群体满意度的重叠部分被排除在外时，才会发现这些关系。这些结果为将群体积极性与群体贬低联系起来的机制提供了新的认识，并强调了在群体关系中研究复仇动机的重要性。
