Abstract:

The lack of subjective awareness of national identity among young people is a common phenomenon in all countries. In this paper, we investigate the role of cohort effect in the formation of national identity among college students based on the theory of cohort effect. The results of the empirical study show that at the current stage, the formation of national identity within the group of Chinese college students mainly relies on the herding mechanism, followed by the competition mechanism and then the learning mechanism.
