The study's overarching goals were to determine how college students' social interaction patterns shape their sense of national and cultural identity, how these patterns relate to one another, how these patterns vary across demographic variables (such as gender, age, location, and parental education level), and whether or not these patterns can be used to predict students' future national and cultural identities. Six hundred fourteen male and female students from three different schools made up the research sample. The results showed that there was a lot of social interaction (3.41), a strong sense of national and cultural identity (4.14) across all categories, and a high degree of tool use (4.24). In addition to explaining the dimensions of social interaction (competition, cooperation, and conflict; 20.8% of the variance ratio), the areas of social interaction had a statistically significant impact on developing cultural and national identity dimensions. When looking at the many aspects of national and cultural identity, cooperation stands out as the most important and predictive. Both aspects (competition and cooperation) were positively and statistically significantly correlated with each of the other dimensions of cultural identity, national identity, and the overall tool of cultural and national identity (conflict). Social interaction patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, did not vary by age, gender, or location. Graduate school is associated with statistically significant variations in social contact patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, as compared to parents with lower levels of education.
