摘要

“维拉-拉塔情结”（CVL）是一种独特的、特殊的、极端形式的内团体偏见，巴西人的行为就好像他们想要反贬值他们的国家内团体。在这项研究中，我们调查了CVL如何有助于理解巴西人的腐败观念。在两项研究中（研究1:n = 162；研究2:n = 1200），我们发现参与者一致认为巴西比欧洲（研究1和2）和非洲国家（研究2）更腐败，从而表现出CVL效应。此外，这种效应在支持“巴西jeitinho”（一种经常用于社会导航的行为策略）的参与者中得到增强，而在国家认同较强的参与者中则减弱。这些结果表明，CVL是相关的，以了解腐败在巴西的看法。

"We are the most corrupt country": Brazilian inferiority complex and corruption.

The "Complexo de Vira-Lata" (CVL) is a unique, special, and extreme form of ingroup bias in which Brazilians behave as if they want to antithetically devalue their national ingroup. In this research, we investigate how the CVL contributes to understanding corruption perception among Brazilians. Across two studies (Study 1: n = 162; Study 2: n = 1200), we found that participants showed a CVL effect by consistently perceiving Brazil as more corrupt than European (Studies 1 and 2) and African countries (Study 2). Moreover, this effect was enhanced in participants who endorsed the "Brazilian jeitinho" (a behavioral strategy often used for social navigation) and diminished in participants with stronger national identification. These results suggest that CVL is relevant for understanding perceptions of corruption in Brazil.
