Modeling Heterogeneity in the Long-Term Trajectories of Individuals’ Well-Being
Very little is known about how long-term well-being trajectories vary across populations. Using data from 45,160 adults in New Zealand (62% women, M age = 41 years) surveyed annually over 13 years, we identified latent trajectories for belongingness, social support, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Through a group-based trajectory modeling approach, we found five trajectory groups: low (3%–5%), moderate (11%–17%), moderate-high (29%–32%), high…
Outgroup friendships and social influence in the development of adolescent attitudes toward secondary outgroups
2,559), we found no evidence that having more primary outgroup friends was associated with a change in secondary outgroup attitudes; instead, adolescents' attitudes became more similar over time to those of their primary outgroup friends. Study 3, a simulation, further showed that social influence can lead to either more positive or more negative attitudes toward secondary outgroups. Thus, friendships with primary outgroup members may have negati…
From mate to hate? Prejudice socialization in friendship networks
Through socialization in friendship networks, individuals' levels of prejudice become more similar to their friends' levels of prejudice over time. However, the potential consequences of socialization for prejudice in a social environment remain unknown, as research has yet to explore the size of the socialization effect. Using longitudinal social network analysis and empirically informed network simulations, the present research investigated the…
Religious development from adolescence to early adulthood among Muslim and Christian youth in Germany: A person-oriented approach
Religious decline, often observed among North American Christian youth, may not apply universally. We examined this and whether religiosity is associated with well-being, risk behavior, cultural values, and acculturation among 4080 Muslim and Christian adolescents aged 15–22 in Germany. Utilizing seven waves from the CILS4EU project and a person-oriented analytical approach, we identified different religious trajectories for Muslim (58% high, 31%…
Neither Friend nor Foe: Ethnic Segregation in School Social Networks
High levels of ethnic segregation have been widely observed in school friendship networks, whereas the degree to which school bullying networks are divided along ethnic lines remains uncertain. Using data from 981 students (53% girls, 47% boys; 11-14 years of age) in British schools, we sought to visualize, quantify, and compare the degree of ethnic segregation in friendship and bullying networks. Our findings contradict the common belief that et…
National identity exploration attenuates the identification–prejudice link
Social identity exploration is a process whereby individuals actively seek information about their group membership and show efforts to understand its meaning. Developmental theory argues that exploration-based ingroup commitment is the basis for outgroup positivity. We tested this notion in relation to national identity and attitudes towards immigrants. The results of five experimental studies among German adolescents and early adults ( N = 1,14…
The generalization of intergroup contact effects: Emerging research, policy relevance, and future directions
Intergroup contact is one of the most promising and effective strategies for reducing prejudice. Importantly, intergroup contact not only improves attitudes towards an encountered outgroup member but also to the outgroup as a whole (i.e., primary transfer effects), to other outgroups (i.e., secondary transfer effects), and even enhances cognitive functioning beyond intergroup relations (i.e., tertiary transfer effect). In this article, we first r…

Dual Identity Development and Adjustment in Muslim Minority Adolescents
Dual identity (e.g., strong ethnic and national identity) is a psychological resource for minority groups, but how it develops during adolescence is less clear. In this 3-wave longitudinal study, a person-oriented approach was used to examine dual identity development in a sample of 2145 Muslim adolescents (M T1 = 15 years, 51% female) in four Western European countries. The results of a growth-mixture model pointed toward four distinct developme…
Ethnic and National Identity Development and School Adjustment: A Longitudinal Study With Turkish Immigrant-Origin Children
We examined developmental trajectories of ethnic and national identity during early adolescence and linked subgroups of identity change to ethnic minority children's school adjustment. Our longitudinal data on Turkish immigrant-origin children in Germany ( N = 146; MT1 = 10.42 years, 46.6% male) covered three waves of annual measurement. A person-oriented approach using growth mixture modeling revealed two different classes (subgroups) of identit…
Low ethnic identity exploration undermines positive interethnic relations: A study among Turkish immigrant-origin youth
We conclude that by the age of 13 years, ethnic identity exploration can improve interethnic relations. (PsycINFO Database Record
Muslim Immigrant Parents' Social Status Moderates the Link Between Religious Parenting and Children's Identification with the Heritage and Host Culture
This study addresses the question of whether and when religious parenting is a bridge or a barrier to Muslim immigrant children's integration. Integration was defined as children's identification with the heritage culture and the host culture. Participants included 210 self-identified Turkish Muslim mothers, children (aged 9-14), and 115 fathers in Germany. All family members filled in questionnaires on identification with Turks and identificatio…
Acculturation Gaps Between Turkish Immigrant Marriage Partners: Resource or Source of Distress
Research on acculturation gaps has traditionally focused on parent-child dyads and the negative implications for youths' psycho-social adaptation. The current study explored the impact of acculturation gaps in Turkish immigrant couples ( N = 121) on each spouse's acculturation stress. Wives and husbands reported their acculturation across two domains (language and identity) and dimensions (German and Turkish), and two facets of stress (homesickne…
