• Why being right is not enough: Predicting defensiveness in the face of group criticism (2005, background): “…have distinguished between a ‘‘bad’’ version of patriotism—characterised by conformity, obedience, rigidity, and uncritical loyalty—and a ‘‘good’’ version of patriotism, characterised by reason, dissent, and critical efforts to construct a positive national identity (see Staub, 1997, for a review).”
• Notes on Cultures of Violence, Cultures of Caring and Peace, and the Fulfillment of Basic Human Needs (2003, background): “Constructive patriotism (in contrast to blind patriotism) gives people a separate enough perspective to question problematic policies and practices of their group (Schatz, Staub, & Lavine, 1999; Staub, 1997).”
• Visions of Compassion: Western Scientists and Tibetan Buddhists Examine Human Nature (2002, background): “In recent research, we differentiated between blind and constructive patriotism (Staub, 1997) and developed measures that have enabled us to identify blind and constructive patriots (Schatz & Staub, 1996).”
