ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on results from an experiment conducted as part of the 2009-2010 national CATI and mosque-based surveys. As such, evidence of national attachment is found in influence from self-conscious emotions. Based on the earlier focus group data, two emotions recommend themselves: self-reported pride and embarrassment. The chapter also focuses on the group norm influence on Muslim patriotism and national attachment. It considers the implications of an embarrassment-based form of national attachment. The first set of outcome measures focuses on subject response to attitudinal symbolic patriotism items. The results from these attitudinal symbolic patriotism items suggest that subjects are highly responsive to the group norm information dispensed by the Patriotic Muslim, Patriotic Non-Muslim, and Non-Patriotic Muslim treatments. The next set of models focuses on subject response to statements that appraise government. What Muslims say about these items will be interesting, given their experiences with government scrutiny and harassment.
