332

Abstract

Objective. Adaptation of the scale that measures the collective narcissism level of an individual.Background. There are some societal problems in modern Russia, such as a huge societal distance and widespread prejudice towards minorities. Collective narcissism is an important aspect of intergroup relations, as being related to outgroup hostility associated with a high level of ingroup identification.Study design. The study is divided into two parts, both employing a survey consisting of different questionnaires. For both parts, the survey included the adapted version of collective self-esteem scale and its correlates.Participants. The study included two samples. The first sample included 260 participants (average age 36,8 years; 43% of males). The second representative sample included 1011 participants (average age 35,1 years; 47% of males).Measurements. For data processing, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach coefficient alpha, and correlation analysis were applied in the R Studio software.Results. Good results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate the presence of reliability-consistency of the scale. The external validity of the scale was also evaluated, as a result we received confirmation of these types of validity.Conclusions. The scale adapted by the authors is reliable and valid and can be further used for research purposes.
