Based on social identity and self categorization theories, it was predicted that people would make predominantly favorable distinctions between their own and other countries on relevant traits. Subjects from 6 countries (Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, Spain, the United States, and Croatia) rated Japan, Russia, the United States, and their own nation on 10 traits. The results indicated that for traits relevant to the ingroup, a nearly equivalent number of favourable and unfavorable distinctions between the ingroup and the outgroup were made. For non-relevant traits, a greater number of distinctions that were unfavorable to the ingroup were made. Although a substantial number of distinctiveness effects was obtained, the pattern of results did not support social identity theory or social categorization theory. The results were interpreted in terms of the salience of certain traits due to recent events in these countries. It is suggested that nationality may not play an important role in the identity of modern students, except when national identities are threatened during periods of political or economic instability.
