Attachment to country is one component of national identification

Evidence

Identification with the national group is defined in this literature as feelings of attachment to one’s group (Doosje et al., 2004) and is measured with items such as “I identify with other (name of group members),” “(name of group) is an important group to me,” and “Being an (name of group) is an important part of how I see myself at this moment” (Doosje et al., 1998). — Sonia Roccas and Yechiel Klar and Ido Liviatan, The Paradox of Group-Based Guilt, 24
