In respect of national security, Hjerm(1998) supposed that national identity and
national pride need to be managed jointly. Following this argument,we examine
the characteristics of national identity and nationalpride to affect the spirit of
national security. Survey data are collected from college students who are
considered to represent of new generations and adult persons over the 45 years
who are perceived as representing the older generation. The results of this
study can be summarized as follows.① Allvariables of national identity and
national pride affect positively to the spirit of national security. ② In the types
of national identity and national pride, main influential factors were very
distinctly different. National security was affected distinctly by racial and
national character's valuable, but national security was affected a little by civil
character's valuable. ③ There were big differences between national identity
variables and national pride variables on effects of national security. ④ The
positive effects of national identity and pride were greater than negative effects
on national security. Overall, this paper discusses how to improve national
security and suggests research implications for further research.
