Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: American citizens are all objectively members of the group �the American people� yet they differ in how strongly they identify with that group of people. Political scientists who study patriotism and national identity have ignored this important component of group identity, focusing instead on love of country or on American values. I argue that taking into account Americans� common bond with their fellow Americans is an important theoretical and empirical endeavor. Drawing heavily on social identity theory and the more recent �Amsterdam school,� I propose that differences in strength of identity with a national group can have important consequences, including how helpful people are toward their fellow citizens and how willing they are to face up to their nation�s misdeeds. I test these arguments using a specially-commissioned national random-sample survey of over 1200 American citizens. The results demonstrate the importance of analyzing Americans� attachment to the American people as a social group.
