Abstract

ABSTRACT Social cohesion, associated with lower levels of psychological distress, is a predictor of recovery in emergency situations that may be enhanced by social identities such as national identity. We examined changes in opinions regarding closeness to the nation, patriotism, nationalism, immigration, and opinions about the European Union by administering the National Identity Questionnaire to younger Italian adults living in Central Italy six months before and two months after the initial Covid-19 lockdown to discriminate specific aspects of National identity that may aid adaptation to stressors. Results showed that patriotism increased compared to nationalism while feelings toward European Union membership decreased.

新冠肺炎大流行前后意大利中部年轻意大利人的民族认同：一项试点研究

社会凝聚力与较低的心理困扰水平相关，是紧急情况下恢复的一个预测指标，可能会因社会认同(如国家认同)而增强。我们通过对居住在意大利中部的意大利年轻人进行国家认同问卷调查，研究了他们对国家亲近程度、爱国主义、民族主义、移民和对欧盟的看法的变化，方法是在最初的Covid-19封锁前六个月和封锁后两个月对他们进行调查，以区分可能有助于适应压力源的国家认同的特定方面。结果显示，与民族主义相比，爱国主义情绪有所上升，而对欧盟成员国身份的情绪有所下降。

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
