Abstract
The study explores relationship between media consumption
patterns of adolescents,with other intervening variables, and
formation of national identity. The research proposes a model of
political socialization to understand the relationship among
adolescents’ demographics (gender, age, school), mass media
consumption (electronic, and print media), and place of discussion
with interpersonal agents (parents, peers, relatives and teachers) for
the formation of national identity. Adolescents from private, public
and madrassa (religious) schools of Lahore city are the population
of the research. The sub-constructs of national identity; national
attachment, symbolic patriotism, constructive patriotism, uncritical
patriotism, national pride, and nationalism are tested by Cronbach
Alpha. Findings show that in outer loading factors school, print
media consumption, and the place of media discussion with parents
are the most significant factors in formation of national identity.
