The purpose of the present study is to explore the organization of communicative memory among Hungarians. We were also interested in the factors possibly influencing the composition of communicative memory, such as conspiracy beliefs and system justification. The study involved 339 participants who were asked to name the three historical events that have occurred during the lifetime of people they personally knew and had the most significant impact on their country. A latent class analysis was conducted to explore possible associations of event choice with conspiracy beliefs and system justification. The results showed that the most frequently selected events partly corresponded to the Hungarian national historical canon, but progressive events significant on a European scale were also frequently nominated. The latent class analysis revealed two historical profiles. One was characterized by a progressive and Eurocentric view of history, whereas the other showed a canonical historical view with victimhood orientation. The analysis showed that individuals who believe in conspiracy theories were more likely to select events corresponding to the national historical canon, whereas system justification was unrelated to event choice. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of cultural memory and the measured individual constructs in the forming of communicative memory.

Symptom Type

Both depressive and externalizing symptoms are common in adolescence and often co-occur. The purpose of this study was to examine whether adolescents’ patterns of depressive and externalizing symptoms can be differentiated into discrete classes and whether these classes are best distinguished by the number or type of symptoms. We examined whether there are naturally occurring discrete classes of adolescents characterized by depressive symptoms only, externalizing symptoms only, or co-occurring depressive and externalizing symptoms. In this study, 2,187 nonreferred, public school sixth graders self-reported depressive and externalizing symptoms, and these symptoms were analyzed with latent class analysis. Six latent classes of depressive and externalizing symptoms were identified; classes differed primarily by the number, not type, of symptoms endorsed. Youth with elevations in one symptom type were likely to have elevations in the other symptom type. Approximately 5% of adolescents displayed clinically significant elevations in both depressive and externalizing symptoms. Implications for understanding the co-occurrence of depressive and externalizing symptoms in adolescence are discussed.

Denne artikel undersøger på basis af en ny spørgeskemaundersøgelse fra 2014 danskernes forestillinger om de værdier, der bør kendetegne et nationalt fællesskab. Vha. faktoranalyse og latent class analysis knyttes de empiriske skillelinjer og positioner efterfølgende an til forskellige indikatorer for social tillid, solidaritet, »politisk kultur«, samt national stolthed og opfattelsen af at dele værdier med andre danskere (foruden typiske socioøkonomiske variable). Resultaterne indikerer blandt andet, at national stolthed eller opfattelsen af at dele værdier ikke hænger positivt sammen med tillid og solidaritet, idet dette i den danske kontekst er forbundet med en mere nationalistisk orientering. Den latente klasseanalyse understreger, at konservativ nationalisme og multikulturalisme kun kunne beskrive omkring halvdelen af den danske befolkning på undersøgelsestidspunktet. I tilgift ser vi også liberal nationalisme og republikanisme. I denne analyse ser vi blandt andet forskellige varianter af høj national stolthed, som tenderer til at være enten republikansk eller konservativ nationalistisk. Den ene er forbundet positivt med tillid og solidaritet, mens den anden er negativt forbundet. Ligeledes er den konservative nationalisme forbundet med en utilfredshed med demokratiet i forhold til alle de tre andre grupper. ENGELSK ABSTRACT Kristian Kongshøj: The Republican, the Multiculturalist and the two Nationalists: National identity and social and political cohesion in Denmark This article investigates Danish normative ideas regarding the values that should characterize national identity. It is based on a survey from 2014. The study employs factor analysis and latent class analysis to examine empirical cleavages. These are then related to indicators of social trust, solidarity, political culture, national pride and sharing values. The results indicate, among other things, that national pride and the perception of sharing values with others are not by themselves positively associated with trust and solidarity, since these are also associated with nationalism. The latent class analysis shows that conservative nationalism and multiculturalism can only describe about half of the Danish population. In addition, we identify two other groups of liberal nationalists and republicans. In this analysis, we see that high national pride tends to be either republican or conservative nationalist. The former is positively associated with trust and solidarity, while the other is negatively associated with these factors. In addition conservative nationalism is associated with dissatisfaction with democracy. Keywords: National identity, nationalism, social cohesion, republicanism, multiculturalism.

Prosocial Behaviours

Aim. To identify patterns of prosocial behaviours under collective quarantine conditions.Method. Survey data was collected from a sample of Italian adults during the March ̶ May 2020 COVID-19 lockdown in Italy. Participants reported on offline and online prosocial behaviours, Sense of Community Responsibility (SoC-R) and perceptions of community resilience. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used for data analysis.Results. A total of 4,045 participants completed the survey and 2,562 were eligible (72% female; mean age 38.7 years). LCA revealed four classes of prosocial behaviours: Money donors (7%), Online & offline helpers (59%), Online health information sharers (21%), and Neighbour helpers (13%). The classes were partially invariant across age groups (18 ̶ 35 and > 35 years). Being a man and higher SoC-R scores were associated with belonging to the Online & offline helper class. Members of this class also reported the greatest perceptions of community resilience.Conclusions. Results offer insight on the multidimensionality of prosociality under collective quarantine conditions. Online & offline helpers could be targeted for promoting sustained altruism and involvement in community organisations. For the other groups, programmes should aim to eliminate barriers to help others in multiple ways.
