  In this paper, we investigate the local and self-identity characteristics of socio-cultural groups based on social representation theory and one of its methods (association method). Carried out on a sample of rural youth, the analysis focused on the relationship between the four groups, distinguished by their social representations of identity, with different intensities of meaning and the sociological background variables. In addition to the expected results, the hypothetical explanation for the contradiction in the emotional attachment and mobility variables can be further empirically confirmed.

  In the study, using data from an international research (Myplace), relying on the theory of
  social representations, we examined the understanding of radicalism of young people aged 15
  to 26 and living in two towns in Hungary (Ózd and Sopron) which differ significantly regarding
  their political socialization. In accordance with an empirical method based on the theory,
  we analyzed the relationship between young people’s attitudes towards nationalism and the
  democratic principles and the representation of radicalism, following the structural and content
  characterization of the representation of radicalism through the quantification of associational
  responses received in the questionnaire survey conducted in 2012.
