Summary/Abstract: The present paper outlines the social psychological perspective of nationalism research, which serves as basis of an experimental study of interrelations among patriotism, nationalism, internationalism, and attitudes towards civil rights, war, armament, as well as personal aggressiveness. Several methods have been applied: Test of nationalism, patriotism, etc. by Kosterman and Feschbach; Test of attitudes toward war by Kosterman and Feschbach; Test of aggressiveness by Buss and Warren. Data analysis reveals the existence of functional differences between nationalism and patriotism. Regarding either the correlations between those phenomena or their relations to antiwar views, it has been ascertained that correlation between nationalism and antiwar attitudes does not exist, and yet there has been a significant positive correlation between patriotism and antiwar attitudes. On the other hand, pro-war attitudes are determined by both nationalism and personal aggressiveness.
