Glorification means national in-group superiority and deference to its symbols and rules.

Evidence

We suggest that Adorno et al.’s (1950) pseudo patriotism, Kosterman and Feshbach’s (1989) nationalism, Staub’s (1997) blind patriotism, and Triandis and Gelfand’s (1998) vertical collectivism all express one mode of group identification (see also Roccas, Sagiv, Schwartz, Halevy, & Eidelson, 2006). We refer to this as glorification of the national group. Glorification is thus defined as viewing the national in-group as superior to other groups and having a feeling of respect for the central symbols of the group such as its flag, rules, and leadership. An individual who is highly identified in this sense believes that the in-group is better and more worthy than other groups and that group members should adhere to all the group’s rules and regulations and feels insulted if others do not show the utmost respect for the group’s symbols (Roccas et al., 2006). — Sonia Roccas and Yechiel Klar and Ido Liviatan, The Paradox of Group-Based Guilt, 35
