Multiple Regression Analysis and Weighting Model Construction of National Narrative and National Identity in Modern Chinese Literature

Abstract

The nation-state is regarded as the basic form of the modern state, but whether the modern state is really a “one nation, one country” type of political community as depicted by the nation-state narrative. This paper explores the influence of national narratives on national identity by constructing an evaluation index system, using a questionnaire survey method, and taking adolescents as the research object. The independent variables of this study are national narrative, including national language, national spirit and national memory, and the dependent variable is national identity, including cognitive tendency, emotional tendency and behavioral tendency. The weights of the indicators and regression results were calculated by AHP-entropy weighting method. The analysis results show that national vocabulary has a great influence on national language, while sense of belonging is the biggest factor affecting emotional tendency, and most of the dimensions of national narrative are positively correlated to national identity with a significant effect. The correlation coefficient between national etiquette and national identity is 0.203, and the correlation coefficient between national history and national identity is 0.254. National history and national etiquette have a significant effect on national identity.
