1. The Relationship between Nationalism and Narcissism …………………………………………………………… Functional distinction of national identification: Nationalism refers to perceived superiority of their own nation over other nations. Patriotism is defined as emotional attachment to their nation (Kosterman & Feshbach, 1989; Feshbach & Sakano, 1997). Nationalism is positively associated with, but patriotism is negatively related to, the derogation of minorities (Blank & Schmidt, 2003; Doosje, Branscombe, Spears, & Manstead, 2004; Roccas, Klar, & Liviatan, 2006).  Both nationalism and patriotism stem from people’s love for their own nation, but only nationalism leads to outgroup derogation. Narcissism is defined as a type of personality traits with extremely positive self-evaluation and self-superiority (Raskin, & Hall, 1979; Raskin, & Terry, 1988), potentially leading to aggression and derogation to others (Baumeister, Bushman, & Campbell, 2000). Self-esteem refers to the degree of positive self-evaluation of oneself that shows psychological stability in evaluative situations (Rosenberg, 1965).  This relationship between narcissism and self-esteem has a resemblance with one between nationalism and patriotism.  Narcissism and self-esteem may provide psychological bases for different dimensions of national identification, nationalism and patriotism, respectively. Present Research …………………………………………………………… Purpose of this study: Exploring a psychological mechanism of the distinction between nationalism and patriotism Hypothesis: Narcissism may predict nationalism and self- esteem may predict patriotism, when the other is controlled. Method Participants and Procedure: 210 undergraduate students (66% female, all Koreans); their questionnaire completion in groups took about 15 minutes. Measures: Nationalism (10 items, α =.799) and patriotism (10 items, α =.890) developed by Shin (2011) Narcissistic Personality Inventory (13 items of a short version, Cronbach’s α =.725; Gentile, Miller, Hoffman, Reidy, Zeichn er & Campbell, 2013) and Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale (10 i tems, α =.868; Rosenberg, 1965) Negative attitude towards foreigners (3 items, α =.595; Blank & Schmidt, 2003) and humanitarianism (1 item, Kosterman & Feshbach, α = 989).
