Perceptions of violated entitlement resulting from group-based relative deprivation shape attitudes and behaviors decisively. Drawing on social identity theory, I hypothesize that nationalism and constructive patriotism portray divergent relationships with subjective feelings of being disadvantaged due to different coping strategies to overcome status inferiority. Employing an original, large-scale survey from six European countries, the results clearly show that group-based relative deprivation is positively linked to nationalism, whereas the reverse holds for constructive patriotism. These results hold irrespective of a wide array of robustness checks. Thus, the present study adds to extant literature by identifying feelings of disadvantage as crucial for predicting nationalism and constructive patriotism, two key manifestations of group membership and in-group identification.

对基于群体的相对剥夺所导致的权利受到侵犯的看法决定性地塑造了态度和行为。借鉴社会认同理论，我假设民族主义和建设性爱国主义描绘了不同的关系，以及由于克服地位自卑的不同应对策略而导致的处于不利地位的主观感受。采用来自六个欧洲国家的原始大规模调查，结果清楚地表明，基于群体的相对剥夺与民族主义正相关，而建设性爱国主义则相反。这些结果与广泛的稳健性检查无关。因此，本研究通过将劣势感确定为预测民族主义和建设性爱国主义的关键，增加了现有文献，
