Relationship and Family Planning in Relation to National Identity

Summary/Abstract: In our study, we explore the factors that play a role in the development of nationalidentity, and we examine the relationship between national identity and relationshipand family commitment. The basis of our research is the 2023 questionnaire surveyentitled Hungarian Families in the Carpathian Basin (N=2000). The study dealt withthe respondents’ experience of being Hungarian, their family life, their well-being, andtheir future plans. In this work, we examined attitudes and plans towards childbearingfrom the perspective of national identity. In our analysis, we explored the possible demographicbackground 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 uncertainnational identities, and then compared their childbearing behavior based on differentaspects. The comparison clearly demonstrated that the nature and extent of nationalidentity are strongly related to the human relationships that determine and even connectboth the present and the future. Whether we refer to the current life situation or futureplans, family life, child raising, and the attitude towards different values and norms area function of being rooted in individual and national existence.
