Abstract

To elucidate how ingroup identification is implicated in attitudes towards gender equality, it is important to consider that (1) people simultaneously identify with more (a nation) vs. less abstract groups (gender), and (2) gender collective narcissism is the specific aspect of ingroup identification likely to inspire opposite attitudes towards gender equality among men (negative) and women (positive), but (3) national narcissism is likely to align with men’s interests and inspire negative attitudes towards gender equality among men and women. In Study 1, we demonstrate that gender collective narcissism is the same variable among men and women. In Study 2, we show that among women (but not among men) in Poland, gender collective narcissism predicts intentions to engage in normative and non-normative collective action for gender equality. In Study 3, we show that gender collective narcissists among women endorse an egalitarian outlook, whereas gender collective narcissists among men reject it. In contrast, national narcissism predicts refusal to engage in collective action for gender equality and endorsement of an anti-egalitarian outlook among women and among men. Thus, national narcissism and gender collective narcissism among men impair pursuit of gender equality. Gender collective narcissism among women facilitates engagement in collective action for gender equality. Low gender collective narcissism among men and low national narcissism may also facilitate support for gender equality.

性别与民族集体自恋：性别不对称与性别平等的障碍

摘要为了阐明内群体认同是如何影响人们对性别平等的态度的，我们必须考虑到：(1) 人们同时认同较多的群体（国家）和较少的抽象群体（性别）；(2) 性别集体自恋是内群体认同的特定方面，它可能激发男性（消极）和女性（积极）对性别平等的相反态度，但 (3) 国家自恋可能与男性的利益一致，并激发男性和女性对性别平等的消极态度。在研究 1 中，我们证明性别集体自恋在男性和女性中是相同的变量。在研究 2 中，我们表明，在波兰的女性（而非男性）中，性别集体自恋会预测参与规范性和非规范性性别平等集体行动的意愿。在研究 3 中，我们发现女性中的性别集体自恋者赞同平等主义观点，而男性中的性别集体自恋者则拒绝平等主义观点。相反，民族自恋预示着女性和男性拒绝参与性别平等集体行动，并赞同反平等主义观点。因此，男性的民族自恋和性别集体自恋会损害对性别平等的追求。女性的性别集体自恋有利于参与性别平等的集体行动。男性的低性别集体自恋和低民族自恋也会促进对性别平等的支持。

期刊介绍： Sex Roles: A Journal of Research is a global, multidisciplinary, scholarly, social and behavioral science journal with a feminist perspective. It publishes original research reports as well as original theoretical papers and conceptual review articles that explore how gender organizes people’s lives and their surrounding worlds, including gender identities, belief systems, representations, interactions, relations, organizations, institutions, and statuses. The range of topics covered is broad and dynamic, including but not limited to the study of gendered attitudes, stereotyping, and sexism; gendered contexts, culture, and power; the intersections of gender with race, class, sexual orientation, age, and other statuses and identities; body image; violence; gender (including masculinities) and feminist identities; human sexuality; communication studies; work and organizations; gendered development across the life span or life course; mental, physical, and reproductive health and health care; sports; interpersonal relationships and attraction; activism and social change; economic, political, and legal inequities; and methodological challenges and innovations in doing gender research.
