Abstract

The article presents the results of approbation of a new method scale of ethno-national attitudes aimed at studying attitudes towards the phenomenon of nationality, which in the modern Russian public discourse is synonymous with ethnicity. The first study (N = 1444) showed that the method contains four sub-scales: Nationalist attitudes (dislike of representatives of other nationalities), Patriotic attitudes (feeling of pride for their national identity and connection with people of their nationality), Neutral ethno-national attitudes (indifferent attitude to their national identity) and Negative ethno-national attitudes (negative attitude to the phenomenon of nationality and national identity). Sub-scales have good internal consistency as well as configuration and metric invariance. Three other studies (N = 156, 533 and 982) demonstrated the internal validity of the technique. They showed that nationalist attitudes are positively associated with different forms of intolerance. Patriotic attitudes are associated with negative attitudes only towards other ethnic groups, as well as with a positive attitude towards their group. Neutral and negative ethno-national attitudes are positively associated with different types of tolerance (ethnic, social, personality traits) and attitudes towards other ethnic groups. Thus, four sub-scales of the method measure qualitatively different attitude to the phenomenon ofnationality. Also, the sub-scales of the methodology are grouped into two factors of the second order: nationalist and negative ethno-national attitudes that are in inverse relationship form a factor that reflects the attitude to other nationalities and the phenomenon of nationality in General, and Patriotic and neutral ethno-national attitudes reflect the national identification of the Respondent.
