Radical Ideas for Radical Self‐Importance? Exploring the Links Between Narcissism, Extreme Political Views, and Negative Attitudes Towards Political Opponents
In three studies (Study 1; UK, N = 402; Study 2; US, N = 511; Study 3; Poland, N = 1143), we examined links between narcissism and extreme left‐ and right‐wing political views. Across studies, grandiose narcissism consistently predicted stronger support for political extremes. Study 1 showed that grandiose (but not vulnerable) narcissism was linked to support for extreme right‐wing views, while Study 2 and 3 that grandiose narcissism was linked t…
Habitus of doubt? The role of social class narcissism in shaping psychological help conspiracy beliefs
Collective narcissism is known to fuel anti‐scientific attitudes. However, its role in shaping conspiracy beliefs portraying those who use psychology to help others as manipulative or controlling remains largely unexplored. We argue that social class narcissism (i.e., exaggerated belief in the superiority of one's social group, along with sensitivity to criticism and hostility towards other groups) would foster psychological help conspiracy belie…
The Conspiracy of Us
This research explores how political collective narcissists endorse conspiracy beliefs, particularly those that portray both in‐group and out‐group members as conspiring agents. We hypothesized that individuals high in political narcissism would be more likely to endorse conspiracy theories that accuse both out‐group and in‐group members of intentional, secret and coordinated actions. In Study 1 ( N = 735), we found that political narcissism (but…
Their sinister plans validate our greatness! Need for uniqueness mediates the link between national narcissism and conspiracy beliefs
Conspiracy endorsement has previously been linked to national narcissism—an unrealistic belief in the greatness of the national in-group. In this research, we explore the role of the need for uniqueness in explaining why national narcissists seize on conspiracy theories. In Study 1 ( N = 1,000), we found that a self-attributed need for uniqueness mediated the link between national narcissism and conspiracy beliefs. In Study 2 ( N = 387), we intro…
