As an attempt to investigate attitudes and beliefs held presently by American youths, the following exploratory study of patriotism presents a variant of the original Berkeley group's analysis presented in their classic book The Authoritarian Personality (1950). By reconstructing the Berkeley group's theoretical model, their concept of "pseudopatriotism" was examined as an agent of false consciousness. Within the framework of critical theory, it was discovered that this type of patriotism relates positively to individuals' lack of perception of their alienated state in society. As hypothesized in the original study by the Berkeley group, authoritarianism was found to have a significant positive relationship to patriotism. In contrast, the concept of feminism was discovered to relate negatively to patriotism, indirectly, through its direct relationship with the variable of alienation. The findings of this investigation were obtained by surveying undergraduate students (N=405) at Ball State University. / Department of Sociology

Enseigner l'histoire militaire à l'école de l'air d'Athènes nous a donné la possibilité d'avoir accès aux archives de l'aviation, dans lesquelles nous avons souvent puisé afin d'en extraire des données historiques. Les documents primaires, donc authentiques, ont à la fois donné une image assez complète et plutôt captivante de l'action héroïque des aviateurs pendant les deux Guerres Mondiales. Des valeurs nationales, sources d’inspiration patriotique telles que l’héroïsme, le courage, le sacrifice de soi, l’abnégation, la solidarité, l’esprit scrupuleux et la fierté nationale, associées à des qualités d’efficacité, armes de la puissance patriotique, comme la compétence, le sang-froid et l’ingéniosité, pourraient-elles fournir, dans un cadre historique, militaire et dramatique marqué par la guerre, des témoignages directs de patriotisme? Fondée sur une méthode « sémantique », nous avons recherché dans les sources primaires des éléments significatifs, considérés indispensables à la représentation de ce qui motivait vraiment ces officiers. Dans tous les cas, le résultat est que les valeurs nationales et les qualités d’efficacité, dont disposaient les aviateurs grecs durant les deux guerres, indépendamment de l’organisation de l’évolution de la nouvelle arme et des conditions, ont fourni des exemples directs de patriotisme. Après une recherche approfondie dans les archives de l’armée de l’air grecque, nous avons constaté l’existence d’un grand nombre de documents historiques sur la Catastrophe d’Asie Mineure, que nous pourrions étudier et analyser dans une future recherche. / Teaching military history at the Greek School of Air Force in Athens gave us the opportunity to have access to the archives of aviation, in which we had often refered to in order to extract historical data. Primary documents, so authentic, have provided a fairly complete but also a quite captivating image of the heroic action of aviators during the two World Wars. Could national values, sources of patriotic inspiration such as heroism, courage, self-sacrifice, selflessness, solidarity, scrupulousness and national pride associated with qualities of efficiency, means of patriotic power, such as competence, composure and ingenuity, provide, within a military and dramatic historical context, marked by war, direct evidence of patriotism?Based on a "semantic" method we searched in the primary sources for those significant elements which were considered essential to the representation of what really motivated these officers.In all cases, the result is that both the national values as well as the qualities of efficiency, available to the Greek aviators during the two world wars, regardless of the organization of the evolution of the new army forces and conditions, provided direct examples of patriotism.After extensive research in the archives of the Greek Air Force, a large number of historical documents on the Asia Minor Catastrophe was found which could be studied and analyzed in future research.

Historians have shown how, in the last third of the nineteenth century, the language of patriotism and national identity was appropriated by the political right. It has been all too easily assumed that after this they held a monopoly on such language. However, the British left did not give up ideas about patriotism and the nature of Englishness after the revival of socialism in the 18805. Socialism was rather presented as the restoration of an English past lost to industrial capitalism. They therefore argued for a return to 'Merrie England'. Socialists frequently used radical patriotic vocabulary as a tool in their struggles for social transfotmation, particularly in defence of what they saw as traditional English liberties. But some socialists also used ideas of Englishness to legitimate their own form of socialism and to repudiate other forms, such as anarchism, syndicalism and Marxism, as 'foreign'. Central to this was a belief that Parliament stood at the centre of the national history. This Whiggish parliamentary view of history was essentially English, yet many who held it were Scottish, Welsh and Irish, and they played a full role in creating a 'British Socialism' . The First World War dealt a severe blow to radical patriotism. Pro-war sections of the labour movement were brought into the state, and this reinforced their belief in parliamentarism and a consensual patriotism. The anti-war left continued to use radical patriotic language in the early years of the war, for example against the 'foreign yoke' of conscription, but the war degraded patriotism generally and the Russian Revolution gave internationalism a new focus. It also threatened the concept of British Socialism, and the post-war years saw a bitter debate over forms of socialism, when it was argued that Bolshevism was not suited to 'British conditions'. Moderate Labour, convinced that office could only be achieved on terms set by the British Constitution, sought to prove their fitness to govern. This meant concentration on traditional patriotism and the national interest, rather than conceptions of oppositional Englishness. The left of the labolD' movement now looked to soviet Russia rather than the English past as a model for the future socialist society. Hence the hold of radical patriotism on the British left was broken, but that of patriotism was not. It would take another world war to re-unite the two.
