Abstract
The article is a proposal to look at the category of patriotism as a factor that can play an important role in a process of building a civil society in a post-communist state. The main objective is to describe and explain how strong (and to what extent) the patriotism of Polish students affects the likelihood of undertaking civic, pro-social and pro-democracy behaviors. In search of an answer to this question, the author verified a number of hypotheses assuming a relationship between patriotism (understood in various ways) and behaviors or views that are functional from the point of view of the quality of democracy. The analysis was based on data from a nationwide survey conducted among students from 14 universities in Poland in the period between January and May 2018 (N = 980). The results of the statistical analysis lead to the general conclusion that patriotism is a relatively weak but important predictor of civic attitudes.References
