Over the past several years, an online community of self-described "incels," referring to involuntary celibates, has emerged and gained increased public attention. Central to the guiding incel ideology and master narrative are violent misogynistic beliefs and an attitude of entitlement, based on male gender and social positioning, with respect to obtaining desired and often illusory sexual experiences. While violence and hate speech within the incel community are both common, there exists a notable subset of incels who have been willing to act on those violent beliefs through the commission of acts of multiple murder. This study explores the demographic, cognitive, and other characteristics of seven self-identified incels who have attempted and/or successfully completed homicide. The findings suggest that although self-perceptions tend to reflect either grandiosity or self-deprecation, homicidal incels share similar demographic characteristics and dense common clusters of neutralization techniques, cognitive distortions, and criminal thinking errors.
在过去的几年中，一个自称“非自愿独身者”（incel）的在线社区已经出现，并引起了公众的更多关注。指导 incel 意识形态和主导叙事的核心是暴力的厌恶女性的信念和一种基于男性性别和社会定位的权利态度，涉及获得理想的、往往是虚幻的性体验。虽然 incel 社区内存在常见的暴力和仇恨言论，但有一个值得注意的子集的 incel 愿意通过实施多起谋杀来实施这些暴力信念。本研究探讨了试图和/或成功完成杀人的 7 名自我认同的 incel 的人口统计学、认知和其他特征。研究结果表明，尽管自我认知倾向于反映自大或自我贬低，但杀人的 incel 具有相似的人口统计学特征和密集的共同中立化技术、认知扭曲和犯罪思维错误集群。
