Research on the Influence of Cultural Self-confidence of Higher Vocational Students in Ethnic Minority Areas on Forging the Sense of Community of the Chinese Nation —Chain Mediation Analysis of Ethnic Integration Attitude and Social Support
Properly handling the relationship between cultural identity and national identity is of great
significance to forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation. This study used the cultural selfconfidence
scale, the Chinese national community awareness scale, the social support scale, and the ethnic
integration attitude scale to investigate the relationship between cultural self-confidence, Chinese national
community awareness, social support and ethnic interaction attitude, as well as the chain mediating effect
of social support and ethnic integration attitude. The results showed that: (1) the cultural self-confidence,
sense of Chinese national community, social support, and ethnic integration attitude of higher vocational
students in ethnic minority areas were better; (2) There is a significant positive correlation between
cultural self-confidence, Chinese national community awareness, social support, and ethnic integration
attitude; (3) The direct effect of cultural self-confidence on the consciousness of the Chinese national
community is significant, and social support and ethnic integration attitude can play a separate mediating
role between cultural self-confidence and the sense of the Chinese national community, or can jointly play
a chain intermediary role.
