Malevolent Creativity as Parochial Altruism? Examining the Intergroup Bases of New and Harmful Ideas
Emerging theory and evidence suggest that intergroup relations may stimulate malevolent creativity, but the intergroup foundations of malevolent creativity remain unexplored. Drawing from theories of intergroup conflict, we argue that malevolent creativity can be understood through the lens of parochial altruism, one’s willingness to partake in personally risky activity to harm outgroups (i.e. parochialism) in favor of an ingroup (i.e. altruism).…
Examining Similarity‐Attraction Principle and Intergroup Conflict on Malevolent Creativity Ideation
Through the lens of the similarity‐attraction principle, we conducted a pair of studies to examine how perceived physical similarity influences the role similarity and ingroup affinity drives malevolent creativity ideation. Study 1 ( N = 305) participants were assigned to teams using the minimal group paradigm and then were given a social threat scenario by an avatar teammate of varying physical demographics (e.g., gender, race, age). Findings su…
Target Personification Influences the Positive Emotional Link Between Generating and Implementing Malevolently Creative Ideas
Research on malevolent creativity has rarely linked the generation of harmful ideas with their implementation (i.e., malevolent innovation). To explain why people might act upon their malevolently creative ideas, we drew on affective events theory. Specifically, given evidence that aggressive and creative thought events can elicit positive emotions, we argued that generating new and harmful ideas can evoke positive emotional states that make male…
