NB:    1. On each dimension the difference between the mean scores of the two regions is statistically

significant at an 0.01 level.

2. The N of each country score ranges from 766 (Great Britain) to 1013 (Hungary). Approximately
1000 respondents were interviewed in each country. The lower N of Great Britain is explained by the
many British respondents who indicated that they did not feel British (item one). We excluded these
respondents from the analysis.
