The aim of this study is to investigate Dutch citizens’ care attitudes by looking at care-giving norms and citizens’ welfare state orientation and to explore to what extent these attitudes can be explained by combinations of diversity characteristics. We combined two datasets (2016 and 2018, N = 5,293) containing citizens’ opinions regarding society and conducted multivariate linear and ordered probit regression analyses. An intersectional perspective was adopted to explore the influence of combinations of diversity characteristics. Results show that citizens’ care-giving norms are relatively strong, meaning they believe persons in need of care should receive help from their families or social networks. However, citizens consider the government responsible for care as well. Men, younger people, people in good health and people of non-Western origin have stronger care-giving norms than others, and younger people assign relatively more responsibility to the family than the government. Level of education and religiosity are also associated with care attitudes. Primary diversity dimensions are more related to care attitudes than secondary, circumstantial dimensions. Some of the secondary dimensions interact with primary dimensions. These insights offer policy makers, social workers and (allied) health professionals the opportunity to align with citizens’ care attitudes, as results show that people vary to a large extent in their care-giving norms and welfare state orientation.

本研究的目的是通过观察照料规范和公民的福利国家取向来调查荷兰公民的照料态度，并探讨这些态度在多大程度上可以用多样性特征的组合来解释。我们合并了两个包含公民对社会的看法的数据集（2016 年和 2018 年，N = 5,293），并进行了多元线性和有序概率回归分析。采用交叉视角探讨多样性特征组合的影响。结果表明，公民的照料规范相对较强，这意味着他们认为需要照料的人应该从家人或社交网络获得帮助。然而，公民认为政府也有责任提供医疗服务。男人，年轻人，身体健康的人和非西方血统的人比其他人有更强的照料规范，与政府相比，年轻人对家庭的责任相对更多。教育水平和宗教信仰也与护理态度有关。与次要的、环境的维度相比，主要的多样性维度与关怀态度的关系更大。一些次要维度与主要维度相互作用。这些见解为政策制定者、社会工作者和（相关的）卫生专业人员提供了与公民的护理态度保持一致的机会，因为结果表明人们在护理规范和福利国家取向方面存在很大差异。教育水平和宗教信仰也与护理态度有关。与次要的、环境的维度相比，主要的多样性维度与关怀态度的关系更大。一些次要维度与主要维度相互作用。这些见解为政策制定者、社会工作者和（相关的）卫生专业人员提供了与公民的护理态度保持一致的机会，因为结果表明人们在护理规范和福利国家取向方面存在很大差异。教育水平和宗教信仰也与护理态度有关。与次要的、环境的维度相比，主要的多样性维度与关怀态度的关系更大。一些次要维度与主要维度相互作用。这些见解为政策制定者、社会工作者和（相关的）卫生专业人员提供了与公民的护理态度保持一致的机会，因为结果表明人们在护理规范和福利国家取向方面存在很大差异。
