The negative consequences of personal exclusion have been demonstrated by multiple studies. Less is known about the consequences of witnessing one's own group being excluded by other groups, although studies suggest exclusion can be experienced vicariously and negatively affects members of the excluded group. Results of the present lab-based experiment (N = 153) indicate, in line with our predictions, that witnessing intergroup exclusion (a national majority excluded by a minority, manipulated by an adapted intergroup Cyberball paradigm) produced a sense of personal exclusion. It also increased self-reported distress and behavioral aggression measured in the Taylor Aggression Paradigm), especially among participants high on collective narcissism: a belief that the exaggerated greatness of the in-group is not sufficiently appreciated by others. Contrary to expectations, a short mindful decentration intervention (instructing participants to observe thoughts and emotions as transient mental products without engaging with them) delivered while participants were witnessing intergroup exclusion (vs. inclusion) produced changes in heart rate variability reactivity indicative of emotional arousal, especially among collective narcissists. We concluded that collective narcissism is associated with distress in the face of intergroup exclusion, aggressive retaliation, and in consequence, it is a risk-factor predisposing group members to stress-related health and psychosocial problems. Furthermore, a mindful decentration, despite being an effective strategy to reduce maladaptive stress in most people, may be counterproductive in addressing high collective narcissists' responses to threat to the in-group's image.

在集体自恋水平较高时,对目睹群体间排斥的痛苦和报复性攻击更大

多项研究已经证明了个人排斥的负面后果。人们对目睹自己的群体被其他群体排斥的后果知之甚少,尽管研究表明,排斥可以替代地体验,并对被排斥群体的成员产生负面影响。本实验室实验的结果(N = 153)表明,与我们的预测一致,目睹群体间排斥(全国多数人被少数人排斥,由适应的群体间 Cyber​​ball 范式操纵)产生了个人排斥感。它还增加了在泰勒攻击范式中测量的自我报告的痛苦和行为攻击),特别是在高度集体自恋的参与者中:认为群体内夸大的伟大没有得到其他人的充分赞赏。与预期相反,在参与者目睹群体间排斥(与包容)的同时进行的短暂的正念分散干预(指导参与者将思想和情绪作为短暂的心理产品观察,而不与他们接触)产生了心率变异性反应性的变化,表明情绪唤起,尤其是在集体自恋者中。我们得出的结论是,集体自恋与面对群体间排斥、攻击性报复时的痛苦有关,因此,它是使群体成员易患与压力相关的健康和社会心理问题的风险因素。此外,尽管集中注意力是减少大多数人适应不良压力的有效策略,但在解决高度集体自恋者对群体内形象威胁的反应方面可能会适得其反。
