This study is among the first to investigate the religiosity patterns, identity motives and attitudes towards Christians and non-believers among recent Muslim refugees in Finland (N = 128). There are two novelties in this study. First, it applies the religious orientation framework to study religious identities among Muslim refugees in Europe. Second, it combines a variable- and person-centred approach to study religiosity in the context of intergroup relations. Using the variable-centred approach with a multiple mediation analysis, we found that refugees’ extrinsic religiosity was associated with more positive attitudes towards Christians. Neither intrinsic religiosity nor participants’ religious identity motives were associated with out-group attitudes. Using the person-centred approach with a Two-Step cluster analysis, we showed that individuals with higher levels of intrinsic as compared to extrinsic religiosity and those with pronounced religious identity motives were more biased towards non-believers than towards Christians. Attitudes towards Christians and non-believers were similarly positive in a group characterised by equal levels of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity. We discuss these findings in light of the role of religiosity in understanding Muslim refugees’ attitudes towards receiving societies.

这项研究是首次调查芬兰最近的穆斯林难民的宗教活动模式，身份动机和对基督徒和非信徒的态度的研究（N= 128）。这项研究有两个新颖之处。首先，它应用宗教倾向框架来研究欧洲穆斯林难民的宗教身份。其次，它结合了以变量和以人为中心的方法来研究群体间关系中的宗教信仰。使用以变量为中心的方法进行多重中介分析，我们发现难民的外部宗教信仰与对基督徒的更积极态度有关。固有的宗教信仰或参与者的宗教身份动机均与群体外态度无关。使用以人为中心的方法进行两步聚类分析，我们发现，与外部宗教相比，具有较高内在心理水平的人和具有明显宗教认同动机的人们更倾向于非信徒而不是基督徒。在一个以内在和外在宗教信仰平等为特征的群体中，对基督徒和非信徒的态度同样积极。我们根据宗教在理解穆斯林难民对接纳社会的态度中的作用来讨论这些发现。
