Abstract

Abstract: Building on the social psychology literature on collective memory, we tested if national nostalgia fosters collective angst through greater perceived societal anomie among French participants. Consistent with our predictions, a correlational study ( N = 535) and an experimental study ( N = 370) showed that nostalgia for France’s past predicted greater angst regarding its future through increased perceptions that present French society is more anomic than before. These findings suggest that (1) our representations of the national past shapes how we perceive present and future society and (2) national nostalgia, besides acting as a coping mechanism against existential threats as suggested in previous work, might also feed these threats by fostering perceptions of an anomic present and a frightening future.

美好的过去和可怕的未来
摘要:基于关于集体记忆的社会心理学文献,我们测试了民族怀旧是否通过在法国参与者中更大的感知社会失范来促进集体焦虑。与我们的预测一致,一项相关研究(N = 535)和一项实验研究(N = 370)表明,对法国过去的怀念预示着对未来的更大焦虑,因为人们越来越多地认为,现在的法国社会比以前更加混乱。这些发现表明:(1)我们对国家过去的表征塑造了我们对现在和未来社会的看法;(2)民族怀旧除了作为一种应对存在主义威胁的机制,正如之前的研究所表明的那样,还可能通过培养对反常的现在和可怕的未来的感知来助长这些威胁。
