A WATERSHED MOMENT? THE CHANGES IN DETERMINANTS OF NATIONAL PRIDE AFTER 9/11. EVIDENCE FROM THE GENERAL SOCIAL SURVEY AND THE NATIONAL TRAGEDY STUDY

GROSCHWITZ, STEPHAN F.

Abstract Details

2007, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Sociology.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the sentiment that “Nothing will ever be the same” was widely spread, as were displays of national pride. Using data from the 1996 and 2004 General Social Surveys and the 2001 and 2002 waves of the National Tragedy Study, I test whether 9/11 did indeed change Americans in regard to national pride. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly literature on the effects of 9/11, I compare the effects of party identification, race, gender, and religious orientation on national pride in these four years and argue that even in the initial, often characterized as “unified” reaction to 9/11, fissures along social-structural lines that preceded 9/11 were not overcome, but rather prepared the ground for an increasingly divergent structure and polarization of national pride in the so-called “New Normal” of post-9/11 America.
