Summary/Abstract: Several researches have been devoted to describing the national identity and inter-group prejudical attitudes of young people recently, as well as to the empirical justifiation of the relationship between them. In the domestic scientific literature we cannot find examples for a detailed and complex examination of the correlation between the existing types of national identity and prejudice or of their causality model based on some kind of socio-cultural attribute. So, using the 2017 datasurvey of the School and Society chain of researches that follows an identical concept and operationalization, we examined the relationship between identity and prejudicial attitudes in four such differing cities (Budapest, Debrecen, Pécs és Győr) where young people are supposedly surrounded socializational conditions of citizenship of differing caracter. We focus on the nation and citizen concept construction characterizing the secondary school-age youth of these cities not describing or taking into account the individual characteristics or the settlements as well as on the presentation of the relationship towards etnical/national minorities and nations together with their territorial differences. The conclusions of the analysis are to be used in an analysis that takes into account the individual characteristics of the young people surveyed in terms of socialization as well as the contextual characteristics of the cities.
