Abstract: Understanding psychological barriers to multicultural inclusion is essential in increasingly diverse societies. This study examines how collective narcissism—belief in ingroup superiority and grievance over its underappreciation—undermines support for multicultural rights via heightened perceptions of immigrant threat. We hypothesised that cultural humility, defined by openness, self‐awareness and respect for cultural differences, would moderate these effects. A cross‐sectional survey amongst 390 Italian participants revealed that collective narcissism predicted increased perceived threat, which in turn was associated with decreased support for multicultural rights. However, cultural humility moderated this indirect effect, which was weaker amongst those with higher cultural humility compared to those with low cultural humility. Our findings highlight cultural humility as a psychological resource that can weaken defensive intergroup reactions and foster more inclusive attitudes. These results have implications for interventions aimed at promoting social cohesion in the face of identity‐based resistance to diversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
