This mixed methods study explored dual identification among Muslim-American emerging adults ofimmigrant origin. A closer look was taken at the relationship between American and Muslim identificationsand how this relationship was influenced by experiences of discrimination, acculturative and religiouspractices, and whether it varied by gender. Data were gathered from 97 Muslim Americans (ages 18???25)who completed a survey and produced identity maps, a pictorial representation of hyphenated identities.The findings showed that young people found a way of allowing their Muslim and American identities toco-exist, and only a small minority of the participants seemed to experience identity conflict. Whilereligiosity was the only predictor of Muslim identification, young peoples??? identification with mainstreamUnited States culture was predicted by discrimination-related stress and acculturative practices.Gender moderated the relationship between Muslim and American identities in both survey measures andidentity maps. -Description from source
