Abstract

In our study, we explore the factors that play a role in the development of national identity, and we examine the relationship between national identity and relationship and family commitment. The basis of our research is the 2023 questionnaire survey entitled Hungarian Families in the Carpathian Basin (N=2000). The study dealt with the respondents’ experience of being Hungarian, their family life, their well-being, and their future plans. In this work, we examined attitudes and plans towards childbearing from the perspective of national identity. In our analysis, we explored the possible demographic background factors affecting national identity, and then, using cluster analysis, we identified three groups of respondents according to the strength of their identity: we described their character by naming them groups with strong, weak, and uncertain national identities, and then compared their childbearing behavior based on different aspects. The comparison clearly demonstrated that the nature and extent of national identity are strongly related to the human relationships that determine and even connect both the present and the future. Whether we refer to the current life situation or future plans, family life, child raising, and the attitude towards different values and norms are a function of being rooted in individual and national existence.
