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…
From Individual Anxiety to Collective Narcissism? Adult Attachment Styles and Different Types of National Commitment
National narcissism and national identification, two distinct types of national commitment, differ in terms of their psychological concomitants. Therefore, in the current article, we hypothesized that they would also relate to different adult attachment styles. Namely, we proposed that national narcissism would be positively associated with higher attachment anxiety, while national identification would be associated with lower attachment anxiety …
When the sun goes down
The present research empirically examines the links between political knowledge, national narcissism, and climate change conspiracy beliefs. National narcissism (i.e., an unrealistic belief about in-group's greatness which is maladaptive both from the perspective of intra- and inter-group processes) was previously linked to conspiracy beliefs. In this research, we hypothesized that low theoretical political knowledge would boost national narcissi…
To advise and scrutinize the government? Two types of political knowledge, political trust and unconventional participation
Well-functioning democracies depend on citizens’ ability to make accurate political judgments and express them in the public sphere. Thus, in this research, we aim to better understand the role of political knowledge and political trust in shaping young Poles’ willingness to engage in unconventional participation such as signing a petition, boycotting specific products, taking part in a peaceful demonstration, or engaging in social media activiti…
A vicious circle? Longitudinal relationships between different modes of in-group identity and Covid-19 conspiracy thinking
Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared the spread of COVID-19 a global pandemic, conspiracy theories have continued to rise. This research examines the role of different forms of in-group identity in predicting conspiracy thinking in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. We hypothesized that conspiracy thinking would be predicted positively by national narcissism (i.e., a belief in in-group’s greatness which is contingen…
When politics affects the self
The present research examines the relationships between political influence perception and political participation. Classic studies have linked participation to political interest. However, they did not consider that people may become interested in politics especially when they feel it impacts their lives. In this research, we assumed that political participation would be based on the belief that politics affects one's life. This hypothesis was t…
What makes an Internet troll? On the relationships between temperament (BIS/BAS), Dark Triad, and Internet trolling
Internet trolling is a provocative or offensive online behavior linked to engaging in anonymous activities that evoke negative feelings in other people. We analyzed the relationships between Internet trolling, Dark Triad traits (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism), and the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)/Behavioral Approach System (BAS) in two studies. Study 1 involved a national quota sample representative of Polish young adu…
Powiązania funkcjonalno-przestrzenne w świetle dojazdów do pracy
Badania wielkości i kierunków dojazdów do pracy po II wojnie światowej były możliwe do 1988 r. Kolejne dane umożliwiające badanie powiązań funkcjonalno-przestrzennych pojawiły się dopiero po blisko 20 latach. W chwili obecnej Główny Urząd Statystyczny udostępnia wyniki przeprowadzone w 2006 i 2011 r. badań dojazdów do pracy. Dane te obejmują dojazdy do pracy jedynie dla strumieni przemieszczeń powyżej 9 osób. Tym samym nie pozwalają określić pełn…
Wpływ zapisów miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego na rozwój strefy podmiejskiej Wrocławia
Przestrzeń polskich miast i terenów przylegających do ich granic podlega stałym przekształceniom. Po przemianach ustrojowych, które zaszły w Polsce na przełomie lat 80. i 90. XX w., nasileniu uległy procesy suburbanizacyjne. Nierzadko można spotkać się z twierdzeniem, że suburbanizacja ma charakter niekontrolowany. Nie do końca należy się z tym zgodzić, ponieważ suburbanizacja jest efektem świadomych decyzji administracyjnych oraz wynikiem realiz…
