摘要

本研究对政治知识、民族自恋和气候变化阴谋论信念之间的联系进行了实证研究。民族自恋（即不切实际地相信本群体的伟大，从群体内和群体间过程的角度来看都是不适应的）以前曾与阴谋信念有关。在本研究中，我们假设低理论政治知识会增强民族自恋，并进一步导致采用气候变化阴谋论：结果：我们发现政治知识对气候变化阴谋论有负面影响：结果：我们发现政治知识对气候变化阴谋论有负面影响。此外，民族自恋在理论政治知识和阴谋论信念之间起到了中介作用：结论：政治知识水平低的人容易相信气候变化阴谋论。结论：政治知识水平低的人容易相信气候变化阴谋论。此外，对本国政治制度的运作方式了解较少的人更自恋地认同自己的国家，从而否认气候变化。

When the sun goes down: low political knowledge and high national narcissism predict climate change conspiracy beliefs.

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 narcissism and further lead to adopting climate change conspiracy theories.

Methods: This hypothesis was tested in a two-wave study conducted among Polish participants (N = 558).

Results: We found negative effect of political knowledge on climate change conspiracy beliefs. Moreover, national narcissism mediated between theoretical political knowledge and conspiracy beliefs.

Conclusion: People having low political knowledge are prone to believe in climate change conspiracy theories. Moreover, those less informed about the way political system works in their country are more narcissistically identified with their nation and, thus, deny the climate change.

期刊介绍： Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
