Three experiments (two pre-registered) tested whether gender collective narcissism (i.e., a belief that one’s gender ingroup’s
exceptionality is not sufciently recognized by others) predicts parochial vicarious ostracism (i.e., feeling ostracized and
distressed while recognizing the gender ingroup’s exclusion, but not when recognizing the exclusion of the gender outgroup).
In all studies (overall N=1480), gender collective narcissism was positively associated with distress among women who
witnessed the exclusion of women, but not among men who witnessed the exclusion of women. In Study 3, gender collective narcissism was positively associated with distress among men who witnessed the exclusion of men, but not among
women who witnessed the exclusion of men. These fndings help explain why men do not universally feel distressed by the
discrimination of women and why some women may mobilize to challenge gender discrimination.
