There are naturally variations among the five countries with respect to all three components, but these variations are in all cases in the common direction: the scores of the countries of the group are either higher than the average in the case of the replies to Question 2 or lower than the average with respect to the other two components or they are, at worst, equal to the average for the whole survey. There is no case of a country examined here whose respondents react in the contrary direction to that of the other countries of the group, as can be seen from Table 6.1, which, as in the previous chapters, is based on the answers to one key question each for two of the three components of the relationship between respondents and the state (Q. 2 and 502) and on the average of the answers to the questions concerned with confidence in the authorities (Q. 101 a to g). Thus, on the importance given to the nation, Italy and Portugal are very close to the overall average for the survey, while the other three countries are above and, in the case of the Philippines, markedly above that average. With respect to confidence in the authorities, Portugal and the Philippines are very close to the overall survey average, while the other three countries are below and, in the case of Korea, markedly below that average. On life satisfaction,

Italy is very close to the overall average, while the other four countries are below and, in the case of Korea, markedly below that average. It is because a marked contrast exists between the positive identification with the state and nation, which is higher than in any of the three groups analysed so far, and the negative reactions to confidence in the institutions and to satisfaction with life, which are lower than in any of the three groups analysed so far, that the respondents of the three countries must rightly be described as ‘frustrated patriots’.
