Abstract
Authentic pride has been described by literature as being an adaptive form of pride which is linked to prosocial behavior. However, hubristic pride is said to be linked to antisocial behavior and narcissism. The current study was a correlational study (N =253). The main purpose of this study was to find a relation between two forms of pride (authentic and hubristic) and tolerance. A simple linear regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between all variables. When possible a mediation analysis was performed to test if empathy mediated the relation between pride and tolerance. Self-reported authentic pride was a positive predictor of tolerance but not for empathy. Interestingly, when authentic pride was coded it predicted less tolerance. When objectively coded, hubristic pride was a negative predictor for empathy and also for tolerance. A mediation analysis revealed that empathy mediated the relation between coded hubristic pride and tolerance. Our findings would suggest a difference between how pride is (said to be) felt and how it is perceived by others. Furthermore, the current study designed a new hubristic pride measurement which was based on a top-down approach. This new hubristic pride scale produced a higher mean average compared to the original hubristic pride scale.
