Dimensions of traumatized social consciousness Data for the theory of wounded collective identity
Publication Name: Szociologiai Szemle
Publication Date: 2022-01-01
Volume: 32
Issue: 2
Page Range: 57-77
Description:
In our study, we present the results of testing the regional interpretation model of wounded collective identity for East-Central Europe developed by András Máté-Tóth. First, we summarize the essence of the theory and identify the elements along which the theory can be tested, focusing mainly on the emotional aspects. In the second step, we analyze our model on the basis of empirical data retrieved by TÁRKI in 2020. Our results show that the elements of the wounded collective identity are significantly correlated with each other, thus validating the theoretical hypothesis.

Wounded Collective Identity in Europe: Trauma, Religiosity, Modernization and Visions of the Future Based on Empirical Studies of Thirty-Eight European Countries
Publication Name: Religion and Society in Central and Eastern Europe
Publication Date: 2025-12-30
Volume: 18
Issue: 1
Page Range: 3-23
Description:
Máté-Tóth (2015, 2022) uses the concept of woundedness and the theory of wounded collective identity to describe the collective self-understanding of the Central and Eastern European region. An international study by the Századvég Foundation in 2022, based on 38,000 respondents (1,000 per country), provided an opportunity to test the theory on a European sample. This study sought to answer the question of the prevalence of a wounded collective identity in Hungary and other European countries, and whether the theory has any region-specific relevance. The results show that regional in-betweenness can be considered to be a determining factor for wounded collective identity.
