Attachment and glorification are distinct facets of national identification.

Evidence

Our concept of attachment to the group is similar to the cognitive and affective components in Tajfel’s (1978) definition. People who are highly attached to their nation attribute high importance to their national identity as part of their self-concept (cognitive aspect), love the group, and wish to contribute to its welfare (the affective component). Our concept of glorification is similar to the evaluative component described by Tajfel because it refers to the belief that one’s nation is better and more worthy than other nations. But it also includes allegiance to the group’s symbols and authority. — Sonia Roccas and Yechiel Klar and Ido Liviatan, The Paradox of Group-Based Guilt, 142
