works now as a business consultant for governmental and non-governmental organizationsThis paper presents new terms for analyzing individuals' national attitudes and their conceptualization and operationalization, a universal psychological structure in which these concepts interconnect, and a nationalism explanatory model. Three empirical studies using anonymous self-administered surveys served to test and improve national attitude assessment and its developmental theory. These empirical studies were conducted in a wellestablished state (the Netherlands), a recently established state (Slovakia), and a region in which a considerable proportion of citizens are striving to develop a new independent state (the Basque Autonomous Community of Spain).The existing nationalism literature is a conceptual labyrinth characterized by questionable instruments, a lack of valid empirical data, and poor explanatory power (Dekker, 2001;Dekker & Malová, 1995). The concept "nationalism" has different meanings relating to various levels of analysis: nationalism as an ideology, a movement, the process of "nation" and "nation-state" building, and an individual's political orientation. Moreover, several different types and intensities of nationalism are distinguished in disconnected ways. A prime example is that the notion of nationalism is often confused with other national orientations, such as

“…Like patriotism, nationalism is a very complicated aspect of personality and a number of factors contribute to it. Loh (1975) studied nationalism in Quebec, where the ethnic identities of the Flemish and the Walloons are in constant conflict. Loh (1975) divided nationalism into three subtypes: political nationalism, cultural nationalism, and bilingual nationalism.…”

“…Loh's subtypes of nationalism are, in essence, different groups a person can identify with. Loh (1975) believed that depending on the ethnic identity of the participant, and the number of languages participants spoke, there would be a difference in the type of nationalism the participant displayed. Loh (1975) found support for his hypothesis, illustrating the complex nature of nationalism as a personality construct, with no attention paid to how such a complex construct may affect attitudes.…”

I n its entire history, the human race has dealt with war and its after effects; the ever-present threat or fear of war has hung over our history, the twentieth-century perhaps more so than other eras, like a shadow (Duiker & Spielvogel, 2004). Media coverage of war has become more and more graphic as time has progressed; whereas photographs from the Second World War remained sequestered for years afterwards, photographs and video feed from the Vietnam conflict arrived in the U.S. with a 24-hour delay (Duiker & Spielvogel, 2004). The Gulf War of the early 90s was televised almost simultaneously, with the more recent conflict in Iraq being aired in a similar fashion. The coverage of combat situations is perhaps even harder to avoid now that there are more 24-hour news networks all airing footage simultaneously in addition to the presence of the internet and its varied news outlets. As the technology of war has advanced, so has the technology to observe war. With these advancements in mind, it becomes important to understand how people will react to this barrage of imagery; the caveat here being that psychological research on war, and its effects, only seems to occur during and in years following the actual armed conflicts. In the years following World War II the focus of psychological research centered on the effects of war on soldiers (e.g., Ferguson, 1942; Stagner & Osgood, 1946; and Buss & Durkee, 1957). Perhaps due to the conflicting national opinions of the conflict, the Vietnam War brought an increased interest in research on attitudes and perception of civilians (e.g.
