  Abstract:  The purpose of this study is to analyse in detail the manifestation and the influence of the of dimensions national identity of Transylvanian social relationships from an inter-ethnic perspective. The empirical data came from a research entitled “ The Influence of National Identities of Social Relationships between Romanians and Hungarians from Romania” and the data was collected in February 2000. The sample consists of 1856 cases, of which 831 are ethnic Romanian cases, 825 are ethnic Hungarian, all from Transylvania. We noticed that national attitudes have an important role in creating social relations. The social relationships of the Hungarians from Transylvania are organized on an ethnocentric basis, hardly intersecting with the Romanians social relationships and vice-versa. The social groups, which are less affected by ethnocentric socialisation such as less educated people, the Romanian youngsters and the Hungarian older people, develop more inter-ethnic relations than the others. The Transylvanians develop more inter-ethnic relations in the case of week ties. We can observe diverse tendencies among different youngsters according to their ethnicity in proportion to inter-ethnic social relations. According to age, the Hungarian youngsters are less open to establish ethnically mixed social relationships.
