Enhancing Sexual Health, Self-Identity and Wellbeing among Men Who Have Sex With Men: A Guide for Practitioners
2018Co-Authors: Rusi JaspalAbstract:By analysing research into links between low psychological wellbeing and sexual risk-taking behaviours that occur in men who have sex with men (MSM), this book demonstrates what impact social and psychological interventions could have on MSM at risk of poor sexual outcomes. At the heart of the book is Identity Process Theory, co-developed by the author, a social psychological theory of Identity construction, threat and coping. The book considers the emerging debates in MSM's health, such as the use of Grindr and 'chemsex', and also explores the socio-structural factors, such as homophobia and stigma, that threaten the self-Identity of MSM. The book offers principles and techniques from this theory that can be used as an effective intervention and therapeutic model with MSM to build more positive identities and reduce sexual risk-taking.

Caste and Identity Processes among British Sikhs in the Midlands
Sikh Formations, 2016Co-Authors: Rusi Jaspal, Opinderjit Kaur TakharAbstract:This article examines the role of caste in the lives and identities of a small sample of young Sikhs in the English Midlands, using social psychological theory. In many academic writings, there is an implicit representation of caste as a negative aspect of South Asian culture and religion, and of caste identification as a means of oppressing vulnerable outgroups. Twenty-three young Sikhs were interviewed, and the qualitative data were analysed using Identity Process Theory. The following themes are discussed: (i) Caste as a Dormant Social Category, (ii) Anchoring the Caste Ingroup to Positive Social Representations, and (iii) Caste as an Inherent or Constructed Aspect of Identity? It is argued that neither caste nor caste-based prejudice appear to be prominent in the lives and identities of our interviewees but that, because caste is an important symbolic aspect of Identity which can acquire salient in particular contexts, some Sikhs may wish to maintain this Identity though endogamy. What is understood a...

Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism in Iran: The Effects of Identity, Threat, and Political Trust
Contemporary Jewry, 2015Co-Authors: Rusi JaspalAbstract:Antisemitism and anti-Zionism constitute two important ideological building blocks of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This article is the first to present quantitative empirical survey data elucidating attitudes towards Jews and Israel among an opportunity sample of Iranians. This study examines the correlates of antisemitism and anti-Zionism in Iran with particular attention to the effects of Identity, threat, and political trust. Consistent with emerging research into antisemitism and anti-Zionism, there was a positive association between both forms of prejudice, suggesting social psychological overlap between the constructs. Given the pervasiveness of antisemitic and anti-Zionist representations in Iran, there were no significant differences in levels of anti-Zionism or antisemitism on the basis of gender and educational orientations. Political conservatives did manifest greater antisemitism and anti-Zionism than political reformists, although both groups scored high on these scales. There was a significant interaction effect of Iranian national Identity and political trust on anti-Zionism, and a significant interaction effect of Muslim religious Identity and political trust on antisemitism. Political trust was by far the most powerful predictor of both forms of prejudice, followed by the perception of Identity threat. These observations are considered through the lenses of Social Identity Theory and Identity Process Theory from social psychology.

Migration and Identity Processes among first-generation British South Asians
South Asian Diaspora, 2015Co-Authors: Rusi JaspalAbstract:There has been little scholarly attention to the identities and migratory experiences of first-generation British South Asians, especially from social psychologists. Drawing upon Identity Process Theory, this article examines the inter-relations between migration and Identity Processes among twenty first-generation British South Asians. The interview data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. Results suggested that migration was perceived as a means of enhancing Identity and that following migration individuals acquired a ‘higher’ social status in the homeland. Moreover, the psychologically traumatic aspects of migration, such as the loss of community and ‘otherisation’ from one's ethnic ingroup, were outlined. It is argued that migration can have profound socio-psychological implications and that decades later it can continue to shape individuals' sense of self and their attachment to relevant social categories. Furthermore, migration has important outcomes for the extent and nature of Briti...

Identity Process Theory
2014Co-Authors: Glynis M. BreakwellAbstract:We live in an ever-changing social world, which constantly demands adjustment to our identities and actions. Advances in science, technology and medicine, political upheaval, and economic development are just some examples of social change that can impact upon how we live our lives, how we view ourselves and each other, and how we communicate. Three decades after its first appearance, Identity Process theory remains a vibrant and useful integrative framework in which Identity, social action and social change can be collectively examined. This book presents some of the key developments in this area. In eighteen chapters by world-renowned social psychologists, the reader is introduced to the major social psychological debates about the construction and protection of Identity in face of social change. Contributors address a wide range of contemporary topics - national Identity, risk, prejudice, intractable conflict and ageing - which are examined from the perspective of Identity Process theory.

The Development of Ethnic-Racial Identity Process and Its Relation to Civic Beliefs among Latinx and Black American Adolescents
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2020Co-Authors: Josefina Bañales, Adam J. Hoffman, Deborah Rivas-drake, Robert J. JagersAbstract:Despite associations between ethnic-racial Identity Processes (i.e., exploration and resolution) and positive psychosocial outcomes among adolescents, limited empirical research investigates longitudinal associations between these Processes and civic beliefs. To address this gap in the literature, this research explored whether changes in ethnic-racial Identity exploration and resolution predicted civic beliefs among adolescents. Participants included 400 Latinx ( n = 121; 47.1% girls) and Black American ( n = 279; 52.0% girls) adolescents in the 6th ( n = 210), 7th ( n = 113) and 8th Grades ( n = 74). Neither initial levels nor changes in ethnic-racial Identity exploration predicted civic beliefs across four time-points of the study, or across two years of middle school. Adolescents who demonstrated greater increases in ethnic-racial Identity resolution across two years of middle school were likely to have greater civic beliefs by the end of the two years, as compared to adolescents who had smaller increases in resolution. These results suggest that adolescents who have an increasingly clear sense of their ethnic-racial selves may have greater access to cognitive and socioemotional resources that promote their development of beliefs on the need to advance the well-being of their communities.

youth service and moral civic Identity a case for everyday morality
Educational Psychology Review, 1999Co-Authors: James Youniss, Miranda YatesAbstract:Mature moral and civic life is distinguished by respect for common humanity which develops through participation in community service. This proposition is illustrated by studies of adults who rescued Jews during World War II and contemporary adults who lead lives of moral commitment. These individuals do not view themselves as heroic but believe that their moral sense and actions simply express their Identity. A putative developmental Process is described by studies that longitudinally track youth activism to adult moral-civic behavior 10 to 30 years later and that detail changes in adolescents' thinking during a course on Christian social justice that required community service. Everyday morality seems to be rooted in an essential Identity rather than being mediated by calculated reason. It follows that educators who seek to justify service learning can emphasize the Identity Process while pointing to the life-long linkage between youth participation and adult moral-civic activism.

longitudinal relations between ethnic racial Identity Process and content exploration commitment and salience among diverse adolescents
Developmental Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Yijie Wang, Sara Douglass, Tiffany YipAbstract:The present study bridges the Process and content perspectives of ethnic/racial Identity (ERI) by examining the longitudinal links between Identity Process (i.e., exploration, commitment) and a component of Identity content, salience. Data were drawn from a 4-wave longitudinal study of 405 ethnically/racially diverse adolescents (63% female) from 9th to 10th grade. Results identified a transactional relation between Identity Process over the long-term and content in daily experiences: adolescents with stronger ERI commitment reported higher daily mean salience and less variability in salience 6 months later. At the same time, adolescents who reported more daily variability in salience engaged in more exploration 6 months later; this was particularly evident among youth who reported lower levels of mean salience. While centrality moderated some associations, most of the longitudinal associations did not vary by centrality. Building off long-standing theories of Identity development that distinguish the independent effects of exploration and commitment, the data suggest that commitment predicts daily ethnic/racial salience experiences, while exploration is predicted by daily salience. Moreover, daily salience seems to serve as a developmental mechanism informing the construction of ERI over time. Implications for ERI development are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
