This paper analysis the representations of Hungarians from Transylvania about national belonging, group limits, the concept of homeland, prejudice, ethnocentrism and the way they perceive emotional attitudes, by means of a quantitative method. During the analysis of focus groups, we were looking for answers to three questions. The first one concerned the national limits they indicated and their interpretation of national belonging. The second one concerned they way they define their homeland and the interpretations they relate to it. The third one explored the way they relate to Hungary. Based on the answers, we differentiate between two very strong national discourses related to the perception of Hungarians from Transylvania about nation and national belonging: the essentialist-radical and the quasiprimordialist,
moderate discourse, which may mix to a certain degree in everyday life.
