Summary

National identity represents one of the most central and defining group identities in the modern world with important implications in everyday life. In the current chapter, we review the extant literature from political psychology on nationhood by considering two key dimensions of national identity: (a) identification and attachment; and (b) its content. First, we explore the vast literature on national identification, and consider two forms of national attachment (patriotism and nationalism) alongside its societal implications. Within this focus, we consider national identification and disidentification and its consequences among majority, minority, and immigrant groups. We then review the political psychology literature on the content and meaning of nationhood by distinguishing between ethnic and civic national character, consider its societal implications, and consider research on implicit and explicit psychological representations of nationhood. We conclude by highlighting some key directions for future research on national identity within political psychology.
