The strength of weak ties in shaping attitudes toward interfaith marriage: Muslim migrants in Western Europe
The role of identification, intergroup contact, and group discrimination in shaping return and circular migration intentions: Recent Turkish immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands
This article investigates return and circular migration intentions among recent Turkish immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands using the “Socio-cultural Integration Processes among New Immigrants in Europe” (SCIP) study ( N = 1,816). Analyses using multinomial logistic regression indicate that future settlement intentions vary with the interplay of identification with home and host countries, intergroup contact with natives, co-ethnics, and ot…
Gender gap in religiosity and interfaith marriage attitudes: Muslim migrants in Germany
Among the various factors influencing matrimonial choices, religion holds long-standing sociological significance. Utilizing a unique dataset, “Muslim Life in Germany,” this study examines the attitudes of Muslim migrants toward their actual or imaginary children’s decisions to marry individuals from different religious backgrounds. The results indicate that the gender of the respondents, the gender of their actual or imaginary children, and the …
Religiosity dynamics among recently arrived Turkish marriage migrants in Germany
Using mini-panel data from the SCIP (Causes and Consequences of Early Socio-Cultural Integration Processes among New Immigrants in Europe) project, this article contributes to the literature on marriage migration by investigating the dynamic role played by the religiosity of migrating partners. Specifically, we assess (1) how migrating partners differ from those who migrate for reasons other than marriage, in terms of their religiosity, to discus…
Return Migration Intentions Driven by Parental Concerns and the Value of Children
Using an integrated qualitative approach and semi‐structured interviews with 32 second‐generation Turkish parents in Germany, this study examines the parental concerns formed by assessing the value of children, which, in turn, influence return migration intentions. This study proposes that parents develop three main concerns in an attempt to maximize the value of their children: (1) socioeconomic, (2) assimilation, and (3) marriage concerns. Retu…
First-generation circular migrants involved in the upbringing of their grandchildren: The case of Turkish immigrants in Germany
Following retirement, older immigrants increasingly tend to engage in circular migration. This back-and-forth movement introduces a variety of challenges affecting the nature of grandparenthood as well as grandparental involvement in the upbringing of grandchildren. For circular migrant grandparents, maintaining intergenerational relationships requires them to overcome not only geographic distances, but also linguistic and cultural differences. I…
What initiates, what postpones return migration intention? The case of Turkish immigrants residing in Germany
This study endeavours to identify the determinants of return migration intentions of Turks living in Germany. The decision‐making patterns of potential return migrants are examined by seeking to answer three main research questions: (a) what are the main factors that push Turkish immigrants to consider return migration? (b) What are the main challenges postponing or promoting hesitation in the return decision? (c) what strategies are adopted to o…
The hometown cluster-based intergroup threat model: Exploring conflict among internal migrant groups in Gebze, Turkey
This study examines threat perception amongst internal migrant groups in Turkey by proposing the ‘hometown cluster-based intergroup threat model.’ It contributes to the existing literature in two important respects. First, this study generates hometown clusters by measuring the social distance between migrants. Second, four dimensions of threat perception – culture, language, religion, and economics – are analyzed to reveal the development of con…
