ABSTRACT

We examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between national and religious identification, Bicultural Identity Integration (BII), and Social Identity Complexity (SIC) among Muslim adolescents in the UK (Study 1, n = 773, M = 17.5 years) and the U.S. (Study 2, n = 190, MW1 = 14.1 years). Using person-oriented approaches, we identified four groups of adolescents. The two largest groups in both national contexts were “religiously-oriented strong dual identifiers” and “equally-strong dual identifiers”. The latter experienced less BII distance and more BII conflict, and perceived their identities as more similar and overlapping. These findings highlight that nuanced differences in strong dual identity patterns and trajectories have implications for how strong dual identities are experienced and perceived.

摘要

我们检查了英国（研究 1，n = 773，M = 17.5 岁）和美国穆斯林青少年的国家和宗教认同、双文化认同整合 (BII) 和社会认同复杂性 (SIC) 之间的横断面和纵向关联（研究 2，n = 190，MW1 = 14.1 年）。使用以人为本的方法，我们确定了四组青少年。在这两个国家背景下，最大的两个群体是“宗教导向的强双重标识符”和“同样强的双重标识符”。后者经历了更少的 BII 距离和更多的 BII 冲突，并认为他们的身份更加相似和重叠。这些发现强调，强烈的双重身份模式和轨迹的细微差异对体验和感知强烈的双重身份有影响。
