Conclusion
Experience-oriented dispositions are the most consistently cosmopolitan, while tradition-seeking generally aligns with national orientation and status-seeking does not consistently drive cosmopolitanism.

Premises (7)
- After holding class, habitus, and other sociodemographic differences between migrants and non-migrants constant, respondents with migrant parents self-identify more globally in most countries; Chile, Pakistan, Andorra, and Rwanda show the reverse association.Evidence for this premise (2)Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsin most countries, individuals whose parents are migrants selfidentify more globally than their fellow citizens.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p2Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsin most countries, individuals whose parents are migrants selfidentify more globally than their fellow citizens.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p2
- The explanatory power of the full country regression models varies substantially across countries; it is highest in Germany and Switzerland, but no clear overall country pattern emerges.Evidence for this premise (2)Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsin some countries, global selfidenti fi cation is quite well explained, while in others, it is not at all.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p1Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsin some countries, global selfidenti fi cation is quite well explained, while in others, it is not at all.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p1
- Experience-seeking is clearly associated with stronger global self-identification: people who are open to new experiences, hedonistic, risk-taking, and adventurous are more likely to identify as cosmopolitan.Evidence for this premise (2)Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsexperience-seeking is clearly associated with a stronger global self-identi fi cationhttps://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p6Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsexperience-seeking is clearly associated with a stronger global self-identi fi cationhttps://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p6
- Tradition-seeking is generally associated with stronger national orientation, whereas openness to new experiences and hedonism are associated with global identification; status-seeking is unassociated in most countries and, where associated, tends to be positive but is negative in Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Nigeria, and Iraq.Evidence for this premise (2)Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsstatus-seeking is not associated with global self-identi fi cation in most countries.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p5Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsstatus-seeking is not associated with global self-identi fi cation in most countries.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p5
- Class effects differ by country: in some countries they are insignificant or reversed, and positive effects of both cultural and economic capital occur only in Spain and Germany. In Switzerland and Norway cultural capital is positively and economic capital negatively correlated with global self-identification; South Africa and Armenia show the reverse pattern.Evidence for this premise (2)Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsOverall, positive effects of cultural and economic capital on global self-identi fi cation are only present in two countries: Spain and Germany.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p4Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Comparative findings on migration, class fractions, and dispositionsOverall, positive effects of cultural and economic capital on global self-identi fi cation are only present in two countries: Spain and Germany.https://doi.org/10.1177/14407833261430381#unit-6-p4

These are challenges this argument’s reasoning pattern must still withstand. Answering them on Isonomia strengthens the argument.
- Does the conclusion stay within the population P from which S was drawn, or does it overreach (different country, different time period, different platform)?Answer under reviewDraft answer
The paper bases its inference on separate country OLS regressions and compares conditional associations across those countries. Its language of consistency and general tendency is thus tied to the country-specific comparative results, not to a claim of an identical effect in every setting. Paper basis — This is a model-based comparative inference: unstandardized marginal coefficients from full-model country OLS regressions, with the other measured dispositions, class indicators, migration, and controls held constant, are treated as evidence of the independent associations of each factor with global self-identification. Cross-country variation in those coefficients licenses rejecting a universal c (from unit-6#w; no verbatim anchor).
