过去的研究表明，民族自恋（但不是民族认同）预示着对反环境政策的支持，而这种效应是由民族自恋者驱动的？需要捍卫团体的形象。我们假设，尽管民族自恋者可能不支持环保行动，但他们会支持宣传其国家的环保形象（即洗绿）。在五项研究（总体 N = 2231）中，我们证明，民族自恋程度高的个体不太可能支持实际的环保行动（研究 2?5），但更有可能支持洗绿运动（研究 1?3、5），尽管洗绿运动会涉及内部群体产生的财务成本（研究 4）。在研究5中，国家自恋预示着对洗绿作为一种政治策略的支持——这与对绿色形象增强而非绿色行动的偏好有关（控制亲环境态度和个人自恋）。我们没有观察到民族认同或右翼政治意识形态的类似影响。讨论了在不同群体中促进环保主义的影响。
Past research indicates that national narcissism (but not national identification) predicts support for antienvironmental policies, and that this effect is driven by national narcissists? need to defend the group?s image. We hypothesized that although national narcissists might not support proenvironmental actions, they would support promoting a proenvironmental image of their nation (i.e., greenwashing). In five studies (overall N = 2231), we demonstrated that individuals high in national narcissism were less likely to support actual proenvironmental actions (Studies 2?5), but more likely to support greenwashing campaigns (Studies 1?3, 5), although not when greenwashing would involve financial costs incurred by the ingroup (Study 4). In Study 5, national narcissism predicted support for greenwashing as a political strategy?it was related to the preference for green image enhancement over green actions (controlling for proenvironmental attitudes and individual narcissism). We did not observe similar effects for national identification or right-wing political ideology. Implications for promoting proenvironmentalism across distinct groups are discussed.
