The proposed paper examined predictors of satisfaction with one's country during the COVID-19 pandemic using longitudinal, cross-regional data collected between May 2020 and May 2022. Participants were drawn from the United States, Anglo regions, Latin Europe, and Latin America. Variables included patriotism, national attachment, perceptions of government competence, perceptions of government care during the pandemic, and regional COVID-19 death rates as an indicator of objective pandemic severity. Analyses employed three-level multilevel models, with timepoints nested within participants and participants nested within regions. Patriotism showed the strongest associations with country satisfaction across between-person (βs = .41-.49) and within-person (βs = .26-.35) models, and had consistent significant effects across regions and timepoints. National attachment (βs = .05-.16), perceptions of government competence (βs = .06-.11) and perceptions of government care (βs = .05-.13) also demonstrated positive associations, though with smaller effect sizes. COVID-19 death rates were unrelated to model improvement, indicating that subjective perceptions were more closely associated with country satisfaction than objective pandemic severity. Cross-lagged analyses revealed reciprocal associations between identity-related variables and country satisfaction. Higher patriotism and national attachment at earlier timepoints were associated with higher satisfaction at later timepoints, while prior satisfaction was also associated with subsequent increases in these identity variables. Perceptions of government competence and care showed similar bidirectional associations, though effects were less consistent. Region-specific analyses reinforced the stability of patriotism's associations across cultural contexts. The findings highlight the central role of national identity in predicting satisfaction with one's country during times of crisis. These findings further suggest the possibility that leaders and policymakers who foster more positive national identification can potentially enhance collective resilience and satisfaction during crises. Furthermore, the consistent cross-regional patterns regarding patriotism underscore its importance for understanding public attitudes towards one's country and government in times of uncertainty.
