Det medborgerliga stödet för EU; en fråga om europeisk identitet? -En kvantitativ studie

We have studied if there is a link between identity and support for integration within the European Union. We have used three hypotheses in order to investigate the issue. First if there is a positive relationship between european identity and european integration, secondly if individuals who experience less of a threat of the national cultural identity and state by the European Union is more supportive of european integration than those who experience a threat, and thirdly if socioeconomic factors such as years of education and household income is linked with self-experienced european identity and support for european integration.We have used statical data from European Social Survey 2018 round 9 as well as previous research for the hypothesisOur conclusion is that socioeconomic factors have a low impact on identity and perception of threat, that there is a strong link between european identity and support for european integration and that perceived threat on national cultural identity and state has a negative impact on views on european integration.
