Abstract
This article reports on research that investigated motivational factors for students to take prosocial actions that align with their global citizen identity. Comparing university and high school students from Canada and Japan who self-identified as global citizens with those who did not, the study found that global citizen students were more highly influenced by their normative environment, had greater global awareness, more strongly endorsed prosocial values and behaviours and were more significantly engaged in global citizenship activities than their non-global citizenship identity counterparts. Students were less likely to be motivated to engage in global citizenship activities by influences from the media and entertainment industries and more likely to be inspired by family, friends, classmates and other global citizens. These findings have relevance for global citizenship educators looking to develop curricula that can motivate their students to transform their knowledge about global citizenship into active engagement as a global citizen.
