abstract: This research investigates the use and meaning of the Frisian flag for Frisians. This is done with a quantitative survey measuring the extent to which Frisians associate their flag with 26 different concepts and 12 different emotions, based on Becker et al. (2017). Furthermore, the level of patriotism is measured along with the level of ‘flag identity’. With a Principal Axis Factor (PAF) analysis, four factors of general concepts were unraveled. Of these factors, Frisians have the strongest associations with egalitarian related concepts, while aggression related concepts score lowest. Further, Frisians associate positive emotions with their flag with ‘pride’ having the highest score. A Pearson correlationtest showed that people with greater patriotic feelings for Fryslân have a higher level of ‘flag identity’ and give a higher score on positive emotions. Flag identity is introduced as a valid and effective way to measure the level of identifying to a flag.
