- Abstract
- Muslim Turks, Greek Orthodox, Italian Catholics, Israeli Jews, Protestant Irish … the links between religious and ethnic and national identities are complex. The two may fully overlap, be distinct but inter-related, or be in opposition; and they may have unidirectional or reciprocal influences. What are the underling psychological mechanisms explaining such complex links between these identities? Is it the religious, the ethnic, or the national identity that has a kind of priority--chronological, developmental, current psychological--in people’s lives? What is the role of religion in shaping--positively or negatively--immigrants’ and ethnic and religious minorities’ integration into a majority/host national culture?
