BRIEF REPORT

Identifying Variables Predictive of Endorsing a European Identity

Pages 266-273 | Published online: 05 Jul 2012
 

Abstract

A study was conducted with university students in six European countries to identify variables predictive of the strength of endorsement of a European identity. Using identity process theory, variables regarding the perceived continuity, distinctiveness, and self-efficacy of a European identity were hypothesized to predict endorsement of such an identity. Differences were found among the six national student samples with respect to the extent to which a European identity is characterized by continuity and self-efficacy, and the extent to which there was endorsement of that identity. Across samples, the hypothesized relationships of perceived continuity, distinctiveness, and self-efficacy to the strength of endorsement of a European identity were supported.
