Abstract

The concept of global citizenship identity is a multidisciplinary construct that has been studied in recent years. Unfortunately, there is not much research, which has measured the impact of globalization on such psychological constructs as personality, identity, and social functioning. The purpose of the present research is to assess psychological and demographic variables that co-exist with a “Global Citizenship” measure. Global citizenship for this study is operationalized as the awareness and embracing of cultural diversity while promoting sustainability and social justice. Global citizenship includes a sense of responsibility to act. Theory and research suggest that being aware of one’s connection with others in the world (global awareness) is rooted in settings that value global citizenship (normative environment) and can lead to greater identification with citizens worldwide. Specifically, the research presented is this paper consists of collecting and analyzing data, examining the interrelationships between global citizenship, a five-factor personality measure, demographic variables, a measure of social dominance, and a political orientation assessment. It was hypothesized personality variables would be able to predict level of global citizenship identity. Additionally, it was predicted Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) would be related to Global Citizenship Identity. The meaning and the implications of the findings obtained are discussed in the context of psychological, social and political behaviors.
