ABSTRACT
Forty-three out of 100 West Europeans would be willing to fight for their country in case of another war. A large difference of scores is found between the two groups, which is indicative of a better affect adjustment to the self, others, and the world among those who said they would fight for their country. In the political field, the people who would fight for their country declared a more rightist stance on the left-right political axis, allotted a higher priority to the goal of maintaining order in the nation, and had more confidence in the armed forces, the police, the parliament, and institutions in general. The causality arrow can include all the sociodemographic factors that were correlated with a willingness to fight, but the sociodemographic factor that most tightly correlates with such a willingness is actually, and quite normally, gender. A comparison of the average potential of the different associate variables will readily detect the most influential.
