National identification’s implicit, pervasive nature predicts responses to historical group actions.

Evidence

National identification is a feeling of attachment toward a national group that is evident even in young children (Billig, 1995); as such it is an example of an orientation toward a long-term important group membership. It is the implicit but pervasive and temporally consistent nature of national identification that is most crucial for understanding its role in predicting responses to intergroup historical actions. — Nyla R.
