Intergenerational Identity Development

SELF Project Line 2

Project Line 2 investigates components of the general worldviews (e.g., values or gender role attitudes) of migrants and their families. In particular, intergenerational differences in the subjective emphasis of independent or interdependent self-aspects could be studied here. Given that young migrants are often exposed to different (and sometimes colliding) cultural models of agency, one central question is under what conditions cultural/national identities evolve in an exclusive and clearly separated, or hybrid and mixed way.
