TY - THES A1 - Mußotter, Marlene T1 - Nationalismus, Patriotismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit BT - Ein mehrfaktorielles Umfrageexperiment mit Studierenden an der Universität Passau N2 - Vor dem Hintergrund des zunehmenden Rechtsrucks in und außerhalb Deutschlands untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit den Kausalzusammenhang zwischen den drei sozio-politischen Konstrukten Nationalismus, Patriotismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit. Anhand eines mehrfaktoriellen Experiments prüft die Autorin die Richtungsbeziehungen dieser drei zu messenden Faktoren. Die statistische Untersuchungseinheit stellen Studierende der Universität Passau aus unterschiedlichen Studiengängen dar. Die Arbeit stützt sich auf die Theorie der sozialen Identität von Tajfel, die das für diesen Zusammenhang relevante Verhältnis zwischen der Eigen- und der Fremdgruppe in den Analysefokus rückt. Ergänzend dazu wird das Konzept der "Gruppenbezogenen Menschenfeindlichkeit" von Heitmeyer zur Erklärung fremdenfeindlicher Einstellungsmuster herangezogen. Die kausale Untersuchung gründet auf einem Modelltest und prüft, ob die empirischen Befunde von Blank und Schmidt (Blank/Schmidt 2003) zu den Richtungsbeziehungen dieser drei Konstrukte noch valide sind. Anhand ihres Strukturgleichungsmodells demonstriert die Autorin, dass sich die Ergebnisse von Blank und Schmidt empirisch erhärtet haben: Demnach ist eine positive Kausalwirkung zwischen Nationalismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit zu konstatieren. Im Gegensatz dazu besteht ein negativ gerichteter Zusammenhang zwischen Patriotismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit.

While frequently used, the distinction suffers from a number of shortcomings that have hitherto been devoted little attention to. This dissertation aims to contribute to fill this research gap by systematically addressing these pitfalls. Notably, it does not abandon the binary distinction as such, but aims to further refine it. Thoroughly revisiting the nationalism-patriotism distinction, it synthesises the field's two predominant research traditions, i.e. the work of Kosterman and Feshbach (1989) in the U.S. and the one of Blank and Schmidt (2003) in Germany, that have not been brought into dialogue. In so doing, and engaging with research on attachment, it calls for a more nuanced triad of attachments: nationalism, that revolves around the nation; patriotism, that refers to the homeland; and democratic patriotism with democracy as its object of attachment. In line with this triad, it introduces a novel three-factor measurement model that has been validated in three studies in Germany. Overall, the dissertation underlines the need to approach ambiguous and complex concepts such as nationalism and patriotism in a more theoretically consistent way before operationalizing them in a rigorous manner.

By reviewing both the evolution of those distinctions over the previous decades and the ways in which they have been used in quantitative empirical research, we argue that the CED's evolution has been a partial success story, whereas discourse around the NPD has not seen substantial development. Despite lingering inconsistencies, researchers drawing on the CED have been successful in addressing different lines of critique and in using the CED as a heuristic for investigating notions of nationhood as expressed in public perceptions. In contrast, there has been only limited dialogue between theoretical and empirical approaches to the NPD. The article illustrates how research drawing on the NPD could profit from the CED's evolution. We close by providing a conceptual roadmap to guide the path towards more terminological clarity and to construct more theoretically robust measures for nationalism and patriotism. We specifically suggest that nationalism and patriotism should be consistently understood as ideal types that citizens can simultaneously hold to varying degrees.

Evidence from two representative studies JF - Political Psychology N2 - This article calls for revisiting the predominant yet flawed nationalism-patriotism dichotomy, which has to date remained unchallenged. It advocates for a more nuanced triad: nationalism, exclusively referring to the nation; patriotism, revolving around the homeland; and democratic patriotism, with democracy as its object of attachment. This novel conceptual approach explicitly theorizes these three objects of attachment, which have hitherto rarely been considered. In so doing, the article synthesizes the field's predominant research traditions that have not been fully recognized as diverging nor been simultaneously investigated. By responding to calls for more theoretically robust measures, it not only makes a theoretical but also an empirical contribution to the field. Drawing on data from a representative sample (N = 1875) in Germany in 2022, the study introduces a three-factor measurement model of nationalism, patriotism, and democratic patriotism. Taking into account both the antecedents of the triad and its impact on outgroup hostility, the measures are further validated. To establish its applicability in non-German contexts, the model is additionally supported using data from a representative sample (N = 1164) in Denmark in 2022.
