True Patriot Love: Structure and Predictors of Canadian Pride
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The strength and value of psychological attachment to one's nation is potentially complicated by other sources of identification, including ethnicity and language. In diverse societies, a crucial question is whether patriotism—feelings of pride associated with national identity—is compatible with diversity, or whether the strength and meaning of national and ethnic identities are at odds with one another. Drawing on data from a national, random sample of Canadians ( N = 2000), two general issues are examined: (a) the structure of Canadian patriotism as derived from various national attributes, activities, and institutions; and (b) the predictors of patriotism, with a focus on whether various sources of diversity (e.g., region) and strength of ethnic identification have a bearing on Canadian national pride. Factor analysis suggests that aspects of Canadian pride occur along (at least) two correlated dimensions—"home" (e.g., institutions and policies) and "away" (international presence and success)—with Quebec respondents manifesting a more complex and ambivalent pattern. Women and younger Canadians tended to express more national pride, but the subjective importance of ethnicity was unrelated to patriotism. The results support a general congruence between Canadian patriotism, ethnic identification, and multiculturalism. Il se peut que des sources d'identification extérieures, dont l'ethnicité et la langue, compliquent dans sa force et sa valeur l'attachement que l'on ressent envers la nation. Dans les sociétés diversifiées se pose une question cruciale, à savoir si le patriotisme—le sentiment de fierté associé à l'identité nationale—est compatible avec la diversité, ou si deux identités, une nationale et une ethnique, entrent en conflit l'une avec l'autre du fait de leur force et de leur signification respectives. Nous examinerons deux problèmes généraux à partir de données provenant d'un échantillon de Canadiens pris au hasard au niveau national ( N = 2000) : (a) la structure d'un patriotisme canadien fondé sur divers attributs, activités et institutions nationaux, et (b) ce qui peut prédire un sentiment national, en se focalisant sur le rôle que jouent ou non dans la fierté d'être Canadien les fondements de la diversité (par exemple, la région) et la force de l'identification ethnique. Une analyse factorielle suggère que quelques faces de cette fierté d'être Canadien se forment à partir de (au moins) deux axes parallèles—un "chez soi" (par exemple des institutions et des politiques) et un "là-bas" (présence et succès internationaux)—y inclus dans le cas des répondants québécois qui présente un schéma ambivalent et plus complexe. Les femmes et les Canadiens les plus jeunes ont eu tendance à exprimer une plus grande fierté nationale, mais l'importance subjective de l'ethnicité n'était pas liée au patriotisme. Les résultats confirment une congruence générale entre le patriotisme canadien, l'identification ethnique et le multiculturalisme.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
