Holding multiple group identities simultaneously shapes intergroup attitudes

Evidence

Another priority for future research involves the need for researchers to focus on multiple identities, such as already practiced in the acculturation research tradition. Recent findings emerging from there suggest that multiple identity management strategies are clearly related to intergroup attitudes in ethnic minority–majority settings. Of special interest will be to understand better the processes that underlie the adoption of two (or more) identities simultaneously (e.g., the joint endorsement of ethnic, national, or supranational identifications). In today’s “globalized” yet increasingly “multicultural” societies, such hybrid identities seem set to become an increasingly prevalent phenomenon. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 471
