摘要

许多COVID-19阴谋论暗示中国及其代理人,无论是含蓄地还是明确地,都是当前大流行背后具有潜在恶意的阴谋者。我们开始探索中国人是否相信与大流行相关的阴谋论,如果是这样,他们的安全(群体内认同)和防御(集体自恋)群体内积极性如何预测他们的阴谋论。我们假设,国家认同会对将责任归咎于内部群体的倾向产生负面预测,从而预测更少的风险拒绝阴谋论信仰(例如,COVID-19是一场骗局)。相比之下,国家集体自恋会积极预测将大流行的责任归咎于外部群体的倾向,这反过来又会验证承认大流行风险的阴谋论(例如,COVID-19是一种生物武器)。为了验证这些预测,我们于2020年4月在中国收集了数据(n = 1200)。支持我们的预测,国家认同通过群体内归因与风险拒绝阴谋信念负相关,而国家集体自恋通过群体外归因与风险接受阴谋信念正相关。

COVID-19-related conspiracy theories in China
Many COVID-19 conspiracy theories implicate China and its agents, whether implicitly or explicitly, as conspirators with potentially malicious intent behind the current pandemic. We set out to explore whether Chinese people believe in pandemic-related conspiracy theories, and if so, how do their secure (in-group identification) and defensive (collective narcissism) in-group positivity predict their conspiracy beliefs. We hypothesized that national identification would negatively predict the tendency to attribute responsibility to an in-group, thus predicting less risk-rejection conspiracy theory beliefs (e.g., COVID-19 is a hoax). In contrast, national collective narcissism would positively predict the tendency to attribute responsibility for the pandemic to an out-group, which in turn would validate conspiracy theories that acknowledge the risk of the pandemic (e.g., COVID-19 is a bioweapon). To test these predictions, we collected data in China (n = 1,200) in April 2020. Supporting our predictions, national identification was negatively associated with risk-rejection conspiracy beliefs via in-group attribution, whereas national collective narcissism was positively associated with risk-acceptance conspiracy beliefs via out-group attribution.
