This week Abby (Political Psych with Abby) and Paige are talking collective narcissism. Abby delves into the concept of collective narcissism, exploring its definition, manifestations in political movements, and its implications for social identity and behavior. The discussion highlights the differences between collective narcissism and related concepts like groupthink and patriotism. They also emphasize the psychological underpinnings of collective narcissism and its societal consequences, particularly in the context of contemporary political landscapes. We also hit the dangers of collective narcissism, including aggression towards out groups.
