这项研究考察了不同形式的对内部群体的正面尊重在预测群体间阴谋信念方面的作用。集体自恋反映了一种信念，即团队内的伟大取决于他人的认可。我们假设，集体自恋尤其有可能滋生非主流的阴谋论。另一方面，非自恋的群体中的积极情绪应该预示着更弱的相信阴谋论的倾向。在研究1中，集体自恋对外部群体行为的阴谋性解释的支持被正向预测，而非自恋内部积极对外部群体行为的阴谋性解释被负向预测。研究2表明，集体自恋和非自恋内部积极对阴谋论信念的相反影响是通过对威胁的不同感知来调节的。研究3操纵了阴谋论是否牵涉到组内成员或组外成员。集体自恋预测了群体外阴谋的信念，而不是群体内的阴谋，而非自恋型的群体内积极预测了更低的阴谋观信念，无论它们是归因于内部群体还是外部群体。
This research examined the role of different forms of positive regard for the ingroup in predicting beliefs in intergroup conspiracies. Collective narcissism reflects a belief in ingroup greatness contingent on others' recognition. We hypothesized that collective narcissism should be especially likely to foster outgroup conspiracy beliefs. Non-narcissistic ingroup positivity, on the other hand, should predict a weaker tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. In Study 1, the endorsement of conspiratorial explanations of outgroup actions was positively predicted by collective narcissism but negatively by non-narcissistic ingroup positivity. Study 2 showed that the opposite effects of collective narcissism and non-narcissistic ingroup positivity on conspiracy beliefs were mediated via differential perceptions of threat. Study 3 manipulated whether conspiracy theories implicated ingroup or outgroup members. Collective narcissism predicted belief in outgroup conspiracies but not in ingroup conspiracies, while non-narcissistic ingroup positivity predicted lower conspiracy beliefs, regardless of them being ascribed to the ingroup or the outgroup.
