Two demographers, Wolfgang Lutz and IIASA’s Vegard Skirbekk, teamed up with a political scientist Sylvia Kritzinger investigated (2006) the emergence of a sense of European identity.
On the question "How European are you?" they got these results:
They analyzed and extrapolated the trends found in the Eurobarometer surveys from 1995 to 2004 for the EU-15.
What they found is that there's an emergence of multiple identities across different age groups in Europe today.
People are increasingly feeling that they are both nationals of their home country and Europeans as well.
