This story covers recent work by Muniba Saleem and colleagues examining how perceptions of social identity integration among Muslim-American teens impact their reports of discrimination and interactions with the majority group. Saleem says studying adolescent youth is key because they “are in the midst of trying to understand who they are and how to negotiate and identify with the various social groups they belong to.” Their findings bolster the idea that identity integration among stigmatized minorities may buffer the negative effects of discrimination on intergroup behaviors.
