Abstract

ABSTRACT Given the lack of studies on the relationship between personality and national pride, this study represents the first attempt to examine the impact of the Big Five personality traits on individual feeling of national pride in South Korea. The data for this study are obtained from the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) of 2011 and 2012. The empirical evidence consistently shows that extraversion and agreeableness are significantly associated with individual feeling of national pride. Specifically, people who report elevated levels of extraversion and agreeableness are more likely to display a strong feeling of national pride. Contrary to theoretical expectations, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience are not associated with individual feeling of national pride. Overall, the findings lend some support to the view that personality traits exert a significant influence on individual feeling of national pride and suggest that except for contextual factors, psychological factors also offer some explanatory power for individual feeling of national pride.

韩国人的个性特征和个人的民族自豪感

鉴于人格与民族自豪感之间的关系缺乏研究，本研究首次尝试考察韩国五大人格特质对个人民族自豪感的影响。本研究的数据来自2011年和2012年的韩国综合社会调查(KGSS)。实证证据一致表明，外倾性和亲和性与个体的民族自豪感显著相关。具体来说，外向性和亲和性水平较高的人更有可能表现出强烈的民族自豪感。与理论预期相反，责任心、情绪稳定性和经验开放性与个人的民族自豪感无关。总体而言，研究结果支持了人格特质对个体民族自豪感有显著影响的观点，表明除了情境因素外，心理因素对个体民族自豪感也有一定的解释力。
