Ethnonational Attitudes Scale Test

People who want to examine how national identity shapes feelings about belonging, difference, and other groups may find the Ethnonational Attitudes Scale Test useful. It is designed for personal reflection rather than for assigning a single identity label. An ethnonational attitudes assessment helps readers consider whether their responses lean toward pride, indifference, rejection of national affiliation, or hostility toward other nationalities.

What This Assessment Explores

The questionnaire explores whether nationality feels meaningful, positive, irrelevant, or linked with negative judgments about other groups. It helps readers consider belonging, social boundaries, and reactions to people from other nationalities. The profile separates tendencies that may coexist instead of reducing the result to one label, so the questionnaire about ethnonational attitudes can show mixed patterns.

The result profile contains these dimensions:

• Negativistic Ethnonational Attitudes (1-5) measures rejection of national affiliation: Low rejection (1-2.3), Moderate rejection (2.4-3.6), High rejection (3.7-5).
• Neutral Ethnonational Attitudes (1-5) measures indifference to affiliation: Concerned (1-2.4), Somewhat neutral (2.5-3.4), Indifferent (3.5-5).
• Patriotic Attitudes (1-5) reflects pride and connection with one’s nationality: Low (1-2.3), Moderate (2.4-3.6), High (3.7-5).
• Nationalistic Attitudes (1-5) measures hostility toward other nationalities: Low (1-2.3), Moderate (2.4-3.6), High (3.7-5).

Methodology and Evidence Base

The statements use a five-point agreement format, from strong disagreement to strong agreement. This captures degrees of endorsement rather than a yes-or-no choice. Items address pride, belonging, the importance of nationality, indifference, rejection of national divisions, and hostile generalizations.

Responses are grouped into four dimensions and presented as a separate profile rather than one overall score, allowing the test of ethnonational attitudes to show where tendencies diverge. The bands describe the direction and strength of each tendency, not universal clinical cutoffs.

Its conceptual reference is the Ethno-National Attitudes Scale developed by Khukhlaev and colleagues. This online questionnaire is conceptually consistent with that instrument, not necessarily identical in wording, administration, or validation sample. Related studies by Khukhlaev and colleagues and by Novikova and colleagues provide evidence on ethnic attitudes, social identity, and intercultural competence, but do not establish norms for this version.

Interpretation remains descriptive. Self-report results may shift with current experiences, self-awareness, cultural context, and pressure to appear socially acceptable. The profile is most useful for examining specific beliefs and reactions, especially when pride in one’s group coexists with indifference or negative views of outsiders.
