한국인의 국민정체성 국제비교연구자격요건 평가를 중심으로 = Korean National Identity from a Comparative Perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to understand the characteristics of the national identity of Koreans by conducting a comparative analysis. The data for this study comes from National Identity modules of 1995 and 2003 ISSP surveys. The requirements of ``to be a real Korean`` (nationhood of Koreans) were measured using 8 items which contain two factors - civic and ethnic. The four models of national identity were constructed on the basis of the combination of two factors in terms of its importance as a requirement of nationhood: Civil Model, Ethnic Model, Mixed Model, and Plural Model. The results show that Korea can be placed in between the Civic Model and the Ethnic Model. Compared to Japan, Korea is closer to the Civic Model. And Koreans are less exclusive in the sense that they suggest more definite requirements for immigrants to be a Korean However, comparing those 33 countries joining in 2003 ISSP survey, Korea is still relatively closer to the Ethnic Model. Based on the Four Models of National Identity, this study confirms that the national identity of Koreans is still strong in maintaining the ethnic elements, despite the counter arguments of the previous studies.
