Abstract

In April of 2016, 60 undergraduates indicated their levels of patriotism, civic engagement, psychopathology and contentment with the current President. Those who indicated greater satisfaction with President Trump were more patriotic but also more antisocial. Those higher in patriotism had more positive civic engagement attitudes but not behaviors.
