Chinese Abstract:  公民身份教育已成为当代中国全民教育体系中的一个明确组成部分。本文基于 2018年进行的一项全国性调查，检验了以下假设：接受公民身份教育的时间越长，公民受国家主导的公民身份概念影响越大，国家主导的公民身份的显著特点是被动地服从国家并对国家忠诚。研究发现，当公民受教育程度较低时，公民身份教育是有效的；但当公民受教育程度较高时，公民身份教育效果较差，而且可能会促进（或至少不会妨碍）更积极的公民身份观念。

English Abstract:  Citizenship education has been an explicit part of the universal education system in contemporary China. Using data from an original nationwide survey conducted in 2018, we test the hypothesis that the longer the intensity of exposure to citizenship education, the more citizens are influenced by a state-led conception of citizenship characterized by passive obedience and loyalty to the state. We find mixed results in that citizenship education is effective at lower educational levels, but at higher levels it is not only less effective, but instead may foster (or at minimum, does not deter) more active conceptions of citizenship.
