The Complexity of Local, National, and European Identities and Their Links to Intergroup Attitudes
The aim of this research was to examine the interrelationships between regional, national, and European identities in the Basque Country (Study 1) and Catalonia (Study 2) using the Social Identity Complexity model. Across two studies (total N = 1200), we found that the greater the perceived similarity and overlap between regional and national identification, the stronger the identification with Europe. A more detailed analysis showed that this re…

How Regional and National Affiliations Shape European Identity
The aim of this research was to investigate the interrelationships between regional, national, and European identities in Spain, employing the social identity complexity model and the dual model of national identification. Findings from two correlational studies conducted in the two largest Spanish autonomous communities, the more pro-European Castile and León and the less pro-European Andalusia (total N = 1,214), consistently indicated a negativ…
Do Good Citizens Look to the Future? The Link Between National Identification and Future Time Perspective and Their Role in Explaining Citizens’ Reactions to Conflicts Between Short-Term and Long-Term…
When people consider what is good for their country, they might face a conflict between the country’s short-term and long-term interests. We suggest that resolving this conflict depends on people’s form of national identification and future time perspective. Across four studies ( N = 4,274), we showed that constructive patriotism, but not conventional patriotism or glorification, was positively associated with future time perspective. Moreover, w…
The link between anger and admiration toward governmental actions and self‐reported preventive behaviour in the context of the Covid ‐19 pandemic
In the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, across six correlational studies in four different countries (total N = 4937), we examined the link between citizens' anger with and admiration for the government's actions and decisions (i.e., system‐based anger and admiration) and engagement in preventive behaviour. The internal meta‐analyses showed that individuals who admired the government's actions were more likely to adopt personal hygiene and socia…
Constructive patriotism predicts voting intentions
In the present research, we investigated the link between different forms of national identification (i.e., constructive patriotism, glorification, and conventional patriotism) and intentions to vote in state parliamentary elections in Poland and Spain (Study 1, N = 1,270), presidential elections in Croatia (Study 2, N = 640), and elections for the EU Parliament in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Croatia (Study 3, N = 1,238). In Study 3, we addit…
Conservatism in response to rising universalism? Linking individuals' conservation values, right‐wing attitudes, and nationalism to perceived prevalence of universalism among fellow citizens
Increased openness and tolerance have marked the twenty‐first century, yet recent years witnessed a decline marked by nationalist movements and reduced support for diversity. We explore the potential link between these two societal changes by examining the association between the perception of universalism values in society and the endorsement of conservation values, right‐wing political attitudes, and nationalism in Poland. Across six correlatio…
Social identity complexity decreases exclusion of immigrants by reducing the glorification dimension of national identification
The aim of this research was to investigate interrelationships among social identity complexity, national glorification, and exclusion of immigrants, conceptualized as relational exclusivity. The concept of relational exclusivity reflects the conditions newcomers are expected to meet in order to be welcomed and allowed to settle in the host country. The findings across four studies (three correlational and one experimental; total N = 2,002) consi…
Increase in the preference for civic over ethnic nationalism among Poles
Commensality constitutes communalism
Relational models theory provides an alternative framework to study group and intergroup processes. One of four models people use to constitute groups is communal sharing (CS). Ethnographic and experimental evidence suggests that CS is produced by concrete and symbolic enactments of connections between bodies (cuddling, touching, synchronicity, commensality). We tested the effect of commensality on CS and ingroup favouritism in four Experiments w…
Members of Transgressor Groups Prefer Reparations to Come From Third Parties
Interpersonal research has shown that guilt motivates perpetrators to compensate victims at the expense of a third party, indicating that the emotion's goal involves reparative outcomes rather than self-mortification. However, this motivation has yet to be tested in an intergroup context. Based on findings about ingroup wrongdoing, compensation was expected to draw primarily on shame rather than guilt. Three experiments (total N = 617) showed tha…
Assigning moral roles within the Second World War in Europe
The moral roles assigned to nations that took part in the Second World War cast a shadow over contemporary international politics. To understand contemporary moral beliefs about the war, we took 11 mostly student samples from 9 nations that took part in the European theatre of war (total N = 1,427). We asked respondents, in free and scaled listings, to identify the war’s heroes, villains, victims, and recipients of help. Nations and individuals s…
Is patriotism helpful to fight the crisis? The role of constructive patriotism, conventional patriotism, and glorification amid the Covid‐19 pandemic
We examined the link between constructive patriotism, glorification, and conventional patriotism and COVID‐19‐related attitudes and behaviors at different stages of the pandemic in Poland. In Study 1 ( N = 663), constructive patriotism was positively associated with support for internal measures (e.g., raising awareness about health practices). Glorification was negatively linked to support for such measures and positively connected to support fo…
The role of national identification in explaining political and social civic engagement
The present research examines the relationship between distinct forms of national identification—constructive patriotism, conventional patriotism, and glorification—and both political and social engagement. Three correlational studies were conducted in Poland. In Study 1 ( N = 234) and Study 2 ( N = 316), using self-report measures, it was found that constructive patriotism positively predicts both forms of civic engagement. Conventional patrioti…
Uncertainty and prejudice
Past research indicates that being religious is frequently motivated by the need to avoid uncertainty and associated with prejudice against value‐violating groups. The present research clarifies these previous findings and shows for the first time a causal link between a sense of uncertainty and group attitudes through religiosity and the perception of the target group's mindset. Study 1 demonstrates that belief in God is associated with uncertai…
Many faces of dogmatism
In this article, we suggest that dogmatic beliefs, manifested as strong beliefs that there is no God (i.e., dogmatic atheism) as well as strong beliefs in God (i.e., religious orthodoxy), can serve as a cognitive response to uncertainty. Moreover, we claim that people who dogmatically do not believe in religion and those who dogmatically believe in religion are equally prone to intolerance and prejudice towards groups that violate their important…
Motherland under attack! Nationalism, terrorist threat, and support for the restriction of civil liberties
Motherland under attack! Nationalism, terrorist threat, and support for the restriction of civil liberties The paper addresses the role which national attitudes play in terrorist threat perception and in the choice of specific counterterrorism strategies. Study 1 shows that participants higher on nationalism tend to perceive the threat of terrorism as more serious than participants lower on nationalism. Moreover, we found that nationalism mediate…
The contexts and structures of relating to others
A study tested hypotheses derived from relational models theory on how four models - communal sharing, authority ranking, equality matching, and market pricing - are used to structure relationships in different types of social groupings. Portuguese participants rated 10 relationships on the Modes of Relationships Questionnaire and reported their shared group memberships. The four-factor structure of the models was confirmed, and a bottom-up appro…
