Recent research in Poland found that a six-week mobile app-supported training in mindful-gratitude practice decreased prejudice (anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia, anti-immigrant sentiments) and its link with collective narcissism. A single 10-minute session of mindful-gratitude practice did not produce this effect. The research was published in Psychological Science.


Collective narcissism is a form of narcissism in which individuals hold an inflated belief in the superiority and exceptionalism of their own social group, whether defined by nationality, ethnicity, religion, or another shared identity. They also believe that the greatness of their group is insufficiently recognized by others. Unlike personal narcissism, which focuses on individual self-importance, collective narcissism centers on group identity and seeks validation and admiration from outsiders for the group as a whole.
