NATIONAL IDENTITY IN ROMANIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES
NATIONAL IDENTITY IN ROMANIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: The national identity and the psychological specificity of the Romanian people have been approaches of interest from the beginning of psychology as science in Romania. Constantin Rădulescu-Motru imposed it as a distinct theme in the 1930s, since then it constantly returned to attention. In the context of celebrating the centenary, the approach to describing national characteristics in terms of psychological features has become both current and desirable. The paper presents succinct approaches of some authors from the 20th century (Dumitru Draghicescu, Constantin Radulescu-Motru, Mihai Ralea), as well as a cognitive-experimental approach (Daniel David, 2015). In addition, they outline an approach that goes beyond the boundaries of psychology, thus contributing to the theme of national identity in Romanian cultural space.
