Abstract:

Ethnocentrism can be seen as an expression of narcissism at the group level.
However, the relationship between ethnocentrism and narcissism has rarely
been
studied, and there is little agreement about what this relationship might
be.
Both have also been treated as simple, unidimensional constructs, whereas
research indicates they are better viewed as complex and multidimensional.
New
research using multidimensional measures of both constructs was therefore
conducted in a sample of 264 undergraduates. Narcissism, primarily its
covert form,
related positively to intergroup expressions of ethnocentrism, but
negatively
to intragroup expressions. In addition, both intergroup expressions of
ethnocentrism and covert narcissism were related to disliking others. The
findings
suggest that intergroup expressions of ethnocentrism are based on personal
self-aggrandizement, whereas intragroup expressions are based on personal
self-transcendence. In addition, they suggest that narcissistic people have
generally
selfish and exploitative attitudes, even towards their own groups. They also
emphasize the importance of investigating both ethnocentrism and narcissism
as
complex multidimensional constructs.
