Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the relationship between patriotism and nationalism, and themediating role of system-justifying beliefs between the two. Methods: A convenient sampling methodwas used to recruit a total of 1862 participants from Tianjin Normal University in two waves. Theparticipants completed the Patriotism Scale, the System Justification Scale, and the Nationalism Scale,and the mediating role of system-justifying beliefs between patriotism and nationalism was tested.Results: Patriotism was significantly positively correlated with system-justifying beliefs (r=0.562***)and nationalism (r=0.202***). System-justifying beliefs were significantly positively correlated withnationalism (r=0.327***). System-justifying beliefs played a complete mediating role between patriotismand nationalism. Conclusion: Patriotism can positively predict the level of nationalism. System-justifyingbeliefs play a complete mediating role between patriotism and nationalism.
目的:为探讨爱国主义与民族主义的关系,并探究系统合理信念在两者间的中介作用。方法:采取方便取样的方法,在天津师范大学分两次共招募1862名被试,填写爱国主义量表、系统合理信念量表、民族主义量表,检验系统合理信念是否在爱国主义与民族主义之间发挥了中介作用。结果:爱国主义与系统合理信念之间存在显著正相关(r=0.562***),与民族主义之间存在显著正相关(r=0.202***);系统合理信念与民族主义之间存在显著正相关(r=0.327***),系统合理信念在爱国主义和民族主义间起完全中介作用。结论:爱国主义可以正向预测民族主义水平,且系统合理信念在爱国主义与民族主义的关系中发挥完全中介作用。
