The study looked at how European identity affects people's opinions on Turkey joining the EU. They tested two theories: one saying identifying with Europe makes people more open to new members, and another saying it makes them less supportive of Turkish membership. Using survey data, they found that feeling a strong European identity leads to more support for Turkey joining the EU.
