political mobilization of dutch muslims Religious Identity salience goal framing and normative constraints
Journal of Social Issues, 2010Co-Authors: Karen Phalet, Gulseli Baysu, Maykel VerkuytenAbstract:This article addresses the question of when and for what purpose Muslims will act collectively in the political arena. The impact of Religious Identity salience, goal framing, and normative constraints on political mobilization was examined in two Muslim communities with different group positions in Dutch society. Both Moroccan–Dutch and Turkish–Dutch Muslims expressed their willingness to take normative or nonnormative political action to promote Religious (“defend Islam”), ethnic (“help homeland”), or superordinate group goals (“protect human rights”). When their Muslim Identity was made salient, Moroccan Muslims were more ready to take normative action to promote Religious goals and also more likely to engage in nonnormative action. In contrast, Turkish Muslims were less willing to take action when their Muslim Identity was salient, except for superordinate human rights goals. Our findings caution against simplistic assumptions about all Muslims by contextualizing the ways in which religion plays out in the political arena.

Religious Identity consolidation and mobilisation among turkish dutch muslims
European Journal of Social Psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Maykel Verkuyten, Ali Aslan YildizAbstract:This paper investigates Religious Identity consolidation in terms of the endorsement of the rights of Dutch Muslims to publicly express their Identity, and Identity mobilization in terms of the attitude towards normative forms of political organization. Identity consolidation and mobilization were examined as a function of the content of Muslim Identity. A distinction was made between an individualized and a communal interpretation of what it means to be a Muslim, in addition to orthodox belief. Personal meaning and personal certainty as two aspects of an individualized interpretation were found to be positively associated to the endorsement of Muslim expressive rights, but not to the attitude towards political organization. Behavioural involvement and Muslim group interdependence were positively associated with Identity organization. Orthodoxy was related to both Identity consolidation and mobilization. Theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

national dis identification and ethnic and Religious Identity a study among turkish dutch muslims
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2007Co-Authors: Maykel Verkuyten, Ali Aslan YildizAbstract:National (dis)identification is examined in three studies among Turkish-Dutch Muslim participants. In explaining national (dis)identification, the first study focuses on ethnic Identity, the second on ethnic and Religious Identity, and the third on three dimensions of Religious Identity. Many participants show low commitment to the nation, and many indicate national disidentification. In addition, there is very strong ethnic and Religious identification. Ethnic and Muslim identifications relate negatively to Dutch identification and, in Study 3, to stronger Dutch disidentification. Furthermore, perceived group rejection is associated with increased ethnic minority and Religious identification but also with decreased national Dutch identification. In addition, in Studies 1 and 2 the effect of perceived rejection on Dutch identification is (partly) mediated by minority group identification. The findings are discussed in relation to social psychological thinking about group identification, dual identities, and the importance of religion for intergroup relations.

social integration and Religious Identity expression among dutch muslims the role of minority and majority group contact
Social Psychology Quarterly, 2012Co-Authors: Mieke Maliepaard, Karen PhaletAbstract:Against the background of contrasting Religious versus secular norms in immigrant communities and in Dutch society, this study examines how Religious Identity expression is related to the social integration of Dutch Muslims within (a) Turkish or Moroccan minority groups and (b) Dutch majority groups. Using nationally representative survey data (N = 2,027), we distinguish Religious identification from Religious practice (worship and dietary practices) and assertion (support for the role of religion in politics and society) as different forms of Religious expression. Structural equation models confirm that minority group contact supports and, conversely, majority group contact suppresses Religious practice and assertion. In line with religion as social Identity, this result is partly because Dutch Muslims with more minority contacts identify more strongly with their religion, whereas those with more majority contacts identify less strongly. As found in a social capital approach, social integration also dire...

Religious Identity Religious participation and psychological well being in asian american adolescents
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2016Co-Authors: Richard F Davis, Lisa KiangAbstract:Religiosity plays a prominent spiritual and social role in adolescents’ lives. Yet, despite its developmental salience, few studies have examined normative changes in religiosity or the implications of these changes for psychological well-being. We explored longitudinal variation in and associations between religiosity, as defined by private regard, centrality, and participation in Religious activities, and diverse indicators of well-being including self-esteem, depressive symptoms, positive and negative affect, and both the presence of and search for meaning in life. The participants were two cohorts of Asian American high school students (N = 180; 60 % female) followed for 4 years and living in the southeastern US. Using hierarchical linear modelling and controlling for gender and generational status, results revealed that Religious Identity (i.e., regard, centrality) did not normatively increase or decrease over time, but participation increased. Religious Identity was significantly associated with higher self-esteem, greater positive affect, the presence of meaning in life, and reduced depressive symptoms (for females), and participation was positively associated with positive affect and the presence of meaning. Our results and discussion emphasize the utility of further examining how religion plays a role in health and well-being, particularly among immigrant youth.

Religiosity as Identity: Toward an understanding of religion from a social Identity perspective
Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2010Co-Authors: Renate Ysseldyk, Kimberly Matheson, Hymie AnismanAbstract:As a social Identity anchored in a system of guiding beliefs and symbols, religion ought to serve a uniquely powerful function in shaping psychological and social processes. Religious identification offers a distinctive “sacred” worldview and “eternal” group membership, unmatched by identification with other social groups. Thus, religiosity might be explained, at least partially, by the marked cognitive and emotional value that Religious group membership provides. The uniqueness of a positive social group, grounded in a belief system that offers epistemological and ontological certainty, lends Religious Identity a twofold advantage for the promotion of well-being. However, that uniqueness may have equally negative impacts when Religious Identity itself is threatened through intergroup conflict. Such consequences are illustrated by an examination of identities ranging from Religious fundamentalism to atheism. Consideration of religion’s dual function as a social Identity and a belief system may facilitate greater understanding of the variability in its importance across individuals and groups.
