Collective narcissism, a belief that one's group is exceptional and entitled to special treatment but underappreciated by others, is related to important social and political outcomes but has been predominantly studied in advantaged groups. The present research compares the motivational correlates (through values) of collective narcissism in ethnic groups of different status (advantaged and disadvantaged) and explores its associations with attitudes towards, and intention to engage in collective action. Three studies examined these processes in different national and intergroup contexts (total N = 16,275). Overall, ethnic collective narcissism was linked to self-protective values (power, and less consistently, conservation) in advantaged groups but to universalism in disadvantaged groups. Moreover, in both advantaged and disadvantaged groups, ethnic collective narcissism was related to more positive attitudes towards, and intentions of pro-ingroup actions but not to attitudes towards (other) disadvantaged groups (i.e., intergroup solidarity). These studies suggest that collective narcissism may be associated with different motivations, yet linked to similar intergroup attitudes among advantaged and disadvantaged groups.
集体自恋，即认为自己的群体是特殊的，理应得到特殊待遇，但却被他人低估的信念，与重要的社会和政治结果有关，但主要在优势群体中进行研究。本研究比较了不同地位（优势和劣势）的族群（ethnic groups）的集体自恋的动机相关性（通过价值观），并探讨了它与对集体行动的态度和参与意图的关系。三项研究在不同的国家和群体间背景（共 16275 人）中检验了这些过程。总体而言，在优势群体中，族群集体自恋与自我保护价值观（权力，以及不太一致的保护）有关，但在弱势群体中与普遍主义有关。此外，在优势群体和弱势群体中，族群集体自恋与对本群体行动的更积极的态度和意图有关，但与对（其他）弱势群体的态度无关（即，群体间团结）。这些研究表明，集体自恋可能与不同的动机有关，但在优势群体和弱势群体中与类似的群体间态度有关。
