This brief self-report measure is used to assess attitudes toward one’s country, with attention to whether those attitudes reflect critical engagement and a change-oriented orientation. The Constructive Patriotism Questionnaire (D. Schatz, E. Staub, & H. Lavine) is intended for use in research or clinical-adjacent settings where understanding civic attitudes may inform case formulation or program planning.
It includes 10 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to characterize patterns of endorsement consistent with more reflective, improvement-focused views versus more conventional or uncritical expressions of national attachment, supporting interpretation within the broader psychosocial and cultural context. In applied settings, the Constructive Patriotism Questionnaire may help guide discussion and identify areas for further assessment rather than serving as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
