摘要

阴谋论信念将危机(如经济衰退)的后果归咎于外部群体的秘密行动,因而具有替罪羊的功能。虽然阴谋信念被描述为对经济威胁的反应,但我们认为仅有这一因素是不够的。相反,认为自己的内群体与其他群体相比被不公平地剥夺了权利(即群体相对剥夺)可能是用秘密的、故意的错误行为来解释情况的关键。此外,民族自恋程度高的人(即认为内群体的伟大缺乏认可)可能对这种动态特别敏感。三项试点研究(N = 1237)证明了群体相对贫困与阴谋论信念之间联系的稳健性。然后,研究 1(N = 812)显示,群体相对贫困对阴谋论信念的影响受到民族自恋的调节。在研究 2(N = 728)中,我们发现在一个虚构的环境中,诱导的民族自恋和群体相对剥夺对阴谋信念的影响。研究 3(N = 846)在横截面水平上重复了民族自恋对群体相对贫困与阴谋信念之间联系的调节作用。总之,这些研究提供的证据表明,集体自恋者特别容易对群体相对贫困产生阴谋信念。我们讨论了危机期间阴谋信念的替罪羊功能。

Conspiracy blaming in the aftermath of group relative deprivation: The moderating role of national narcissism

Conspiracy beliefs entail a scapegoating function by attributing the consequences of crises, such as economic downturns, to the secret action of outgroups. While conspiracy beliefs have been described as reactions to economic threats, we argue that this factor alone is not sufficient. Rather, perceiving one's ingroup as unfairly deprived compared to other groups (i.e., group relative deprivation) might be key to explaining the situation in terms of secret, intentional wrongdoings. Furthermore, individuals high in national narcissism (i.e., a perceived lack of recognition of the ingroup's greatness), may be especially sensitive to this dynamic. Three pilot studies (N = 1237) attested the robustness of the link between group relative deprivation and conspiracy beliefs. Then, Study 1 (N = 812) revealed that the effect of group relative deprivation on conspiracy beliefs was moderated by national narcissism. In Study 2 (N = 728), we found effects of induced national narcissism and group relative deprivation on conspiracy beliefs in a fictitious setting. Study 3 (N = 846) replicated the moderation of national narcissism on the link between group relative deprivation and conspiracy beliefs at the cross-sectional level. Overall, these studies provide evidence that conspiracy beliefs in reaction to group relative deprivation are especially likely among collective narcissists. We discuss the scapegoating function of conspiracy beliefs during crises.
