Inflated Titles, Inflated Egos
Rewards can be given publicly or privately. In four studies (plus three supplemental ones), we found that, while individuals generally prefer private rewards, people relatively higher in grandiose narcissism also like public rewards. Specifically, people higher (vs. lower) in narcissism were more motivated by public rewards in their workplaces, more likely to prefer public versions of the same rewards, and more likely to accept a job with a bette…
Psychological Entitlement Predicts Failure to Follow Instructions
Six studies examined the relationship between psychological entitlement and not following instructions. In Study 1, more entitled individuals were more likely to ignore instructions about how to format their responses. Studies 2–4 investigated possible boundaries on the association between entitlement and ignoring instructions; however, entitled people were more likely to ignore instructions even when following instructions was low cost for the s…
Distinguishing war-related PTSD resulting from perpetration- and betrayal-based morally injurious events
The associations of perpetration and betrayal with PTSD, controlling for danger-based combat events, highlight the limitations of conceptualizations and treatments of PTSD based on fear or helplessness as sole etiologic factors. (PsycINFO Database Record
Psychometric analysis of the PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5) among treatment-seeking military service members.
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5; Weathers et al., 2013) was recently revised to reflect the changed diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). We investigated the psychometric properties of PCL-5 scores in a large cohort (N = 912) of military service members seeking PTSD treatment …
Narcissism Predicts Support for Hierarchy (At Least When Narcissists Think They Can Rise to the Top)
Five studies tested the relationship between narcissism and support for hierarchy. Narcissism was associated with endorsing group-based hierarchy, income inequality, and hierarchy in business (Studies 1a–1b) and with liking organizations with a hierarchical structure (Studies 2a–2b). Analyses suggested that more narcissistic participants’ preference for a hierarchy may have been due at least partly to their current high standing in that hierarchy…
The Social Psychology of Black-White Interracial Interactions
Social psychological research suggests that because of concerns about being perceived in stereotypical ways, people may experience negative affect and diminished attention and cognitive capacity during interracial interactions. The authors discuss this research in relation to therapy and assessment and also offer practical suggestions for ensuring culturally competent professional practice.La investigación en el campo de la psicología social sugi…
Victim entitlement to behave selfishly
Three experiments demonstrated that feeling wronged leads to a sense of entitlement and to selfish behavior. In Experiment 1, participants instructed to recall a time when their lives were unfair were more likely to refuse to help the experimenter with a supplementary task than were participants who recalled a time when they were bored. In Experiment 2, the same manipulation increased intentions to engage in a number of selfish behaviors, and thi…
Disgust as Embodied Moral Judgment
How, and for whom, does disgust influence moral judgment? In four experiments participants made moral judgments while experiencing extraneous feelings of disgust. Disgust was induced in Experiment 1 by exposure to a bad smell, in Experiment 2 by working in a disgusting room, in Experiment 3 by recalling a physically disgusting experience, and in Experiment 4 through a video induction. In each case, the results showed that disgust can increase the…
