**Through:** Pride's comparison is made for the group, and belonging lets each member hold the group's standing as its own, so members feel pride in things none of them did.

**Novel properties:**
- pride in acts one did not do
- a comparison held against other groups rather than other persons

## Examples
- The World Values Survey asks respondents how proud they are of their nationality, which lets national pride be compared across countries. *(sociology)*
