National identification remains predominant over global self-identification in most countries.

National identification remains predominant over global self-identification in most countries.

• Country-specific regressions using World Values Survey data from 98,670 respondents in 74 countries can estimate these separate associations while retaining cross-country heterogeneity.
• The global self-identification scale ranges from 0 (national relative to global) to 6 (global relative to national), and its theoretical midpoint of 3 represents balanced identification.

  Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries — Baseline finding: national identification remains predominant

  Our scale of global self-identi fi cation ranges from 0 (national relative to global) to 6 (global relative to national), with the theoretical midpoint 3 (balanced identi fi cation).

• Population averages are well below the balanced-identification midpoint in most countries; Andorra and the Philippines are exceptions.

  in most countries, the population averages are well below this midpoint, the exceptions being Andorra and the Philippines.

• The unweighted pooled mean of global self-identification is approximately 2.5, below the midpoint of 3.

These are challenges this argument’s reasoning pattern must still withstand. Answering them on Isonomia strengthens the argument.

• Has the sign actually been observed reliably in this case?Answer under review
  Draft answer

  The paper reports that population averages lie below the balanced-identification midpoint in most countries, with Andorra and the Philippines as exceptions. It also reports a pooled mean below that midpoint, providing the observed descriptive sign. Paper basis — "in most countries, the population averages are well below this midpoint, the exceptions being Andorra and the Philippines." (Habitus, Globalization, and Cosmopolitanism: How Dispositions, Class, and Migration Shape Global Self-Identification Differently in 74 Countries, p. 11). Reconstructed from Christian Schneickert & Sören Carlson (2026); machine-drafted from the paper, filed for review.
