Abstract:
Patriotism has long been a topic of interest and debate among scholars around the world. This paper provides a review of research conducted on patriotism, nationalism and related concepts by academics in various countries, with a particular focus on work by Uzbek scientists. Definitions and measurements of patriotism are discussed, along with associated variables like national identity, civic engagement and outgroup attitudes. Motivations for and implications of patriotism are examined. The complex relationship between patriotism and nationalism is explored. Factors influencing patriotic attitudes and behaviors such as socio-political context, demographics, personality and values are analyzed. Key findings on the correlates, outcomes and antecedents of patriotism are summarized. Directions for future research are proposed, emphasizing the need for more empirical work on patriotism in the Uzbek cultural context. This review synthesizes international perspectives on the state of knowledge regarding the patriotism problem and highlights opportunities to expand understanding of this multifaceted phenomenon.
