Differences between Praguers and non-Praguers in what they consider important to be Czech. Source: ISSP (2015).

Patriotism of Praguers and non-Praguers measured as general pride in being Czech. Note: Question asked—“How proud are you of being Czech?” Reversed scale: 1—not proud at all; 2—not very proud; 3—somewhat proud; 4—very proud. Source: ISSP (2015).

Patriotism of Praguers and non-Praguers measured as an emotional attachment to Czechia (Europe for comparison). Note: Question asked—“How emotionally attached do you feel to the Czech Republic?” Scale: 0—not at all emotionally attached; 10—very emotionally attached. Source: ESS (2016).

Patriotism of Praguers and non-Praguers measured as territorial attachment to Czechia (other territorial levels for comparison). Note: Question asked—“How close do you feel to?” Reversed scale: 1—not close at all; 2—not very close; 3—close; 4—very close. Source: ISSP (2015).

A comparison of Praguers and non-Praguers in the sources of their national pride. Note: Question asked—“How proud are you about the Czech Republic in these spheres?” Reversed scale: 1—not proud at all; 2—not very proud; 3—somewhat proud; 4—very proud. Source: ISSP (2015).

A comparison of the level of nationalism among Praguers and non-Praguers. Note: Index computed as a mean of the four items: “I would rather be a citizen of the Czech Republic than of any other country in the world”; “The world would be a better place if people from other countries were more like the Czechs”; “Generally speaking, the Czech Republic is a better country than most other countries”; and “People should support their country even if the country is in the wrong.” 1—disagree strongly; 2—disagree; 3—neither agree nor disagree; 4—agree; 5—agree strongly.
