We seek in three studies to better understand constructive patriotism by identifying perceptual and motivational factors that predict it above and beyond conventional patriotism and by examining one of its distinctive consequences (total n = 573). Study 1 (Polish students) shows that constructive patriotism is predicted by the perceived discrepancy between actual and ideal representations of the nation. Study 2 (Polish and Israeli students), which draws on Schwartz's theory of values, shows that constructive patriotism is negatively associated with the pursuit of self-interests. In Study 3 (Israeli adults), we broadened our investigation of constructive patriotism and conventional patriotism by examining the willingness to write examples of what constitutes a contribution to the nation, and analysed the content of these written statements. Individuals who scored higher on constructive patriotism wrote more examples, as well as more distinctive examples, of contributions to the nation. These findings provide the first empirical evidence for predictors and potential consequences of constructive patriotism that go beyond the love of one's nation.
我们开展了三项研究，旨在通过识别那些能在传统爱国主义之外预测建设性爱国主义的感知因素和动机因素，并考察其一个独特后果，来更好地理解建设性爱国主义（样本总数 = 573）。研究1（波兰学生）表明，建设性爱国主义可由对国家实际与理想形象的感知差异预测。研究2（波兰和以色列学生）借鉴了施瓦茨的价值观理论，表明建设性爱国主义与追求自身利益呈负相关。在研究3（以色列成年人）中，我们通过考察撰写对国家贡献示例的意愿，拓宽了对建设性爱国主义和传统爱国主义的调查，并分析了这些书面陈述的内容。在建设性爱国主义方面得分较高的个体写出了更多对国家贡献的示例，以及更独特的示例。这些发现为建设性爱国主义的预测因素和潜在后果提供了首个超越爱国之情的实证证据。
