Determinants of the Formation of a European Identity among Children: Individual‐ and School‐Level Influences

Abstract: While a growing number of studies have been conducted on European identification, very few of them have examined how children form their sense of European identity. This article investigates the impact of individual-and school-level characteristics on children's formation of a European identity. Multi-level analyses of data from 2,845 pupils (aged 10-14) in 68 Belgian primary schools revealed that family socio-economic status (SES), ethnicity, gender and the school's SES make-up influence the extent to which c… Show more

“…The sense of a specifically European belonging undoubtedly takes time to fully develop and previous research has surmised that childhood and adolescence are crucial periods during which such a (supra)national identity may emerge (e.g. Agirdag et al, 2012). It is perhaps a fault of policy-makers in education that they expect fast change and adaptation, but such expectations can be unrealistic; this particular conception of a citizen identity is a fundamental aspect of an individual's being, and change needs dedication, understanding and time.…”

“…Una persona de nivel socioeconómico cultural alto tiende a corresponder con una actitud favorable hacia la Unión Europea y, en cambio, con un nivel sociocultural bajo se decanta hacia actitudes menos favorables (ej. Agirdag, Huyst y Van Houtte, 2012;Citrin y Sides, 2004;Diez Medrano y Gutiérrez, 2001;Fligstein, 2009;Prats, et al, 2001). En cuanto a género, las mujeres/chicas suelen tener una actitud comparativamente más negativa o ligeramente más negativa que los hombres/chicos (Agirdag, Huyst y Van Houtte, 2012;Green, 2007;Fligstein, 2009;Nelsen y Guth, 2000), aunque en algunos contextos el género no es significativo (Citrin y Sides, 2004).…”

Viajar más con finalidades turísticas o de estancias de estudios, dentro de los países de la Unión Europea, también tiende a generar actitudes más positivas (véanse García Faroldi, 2009;Prats et al, 2001).…”
