Abstract
- Recent research suggests that two ethnocultural "identities"—such as ethnic identity or national identity—can be compatible (positively correlated) or in conflict (negatively correlated) within and across immigrant-origin groups. In the present article, I advance a more cognitively oriented framework for using correlational patterns to map how immigrant-origin people organize their attachments to a variety of ethnocultural categories. In explaining the value of this framework, I embark on a multistage empirical illustration. First, I perform a correlational class analysis (CCA) using a sample of second-generation Germans and a vector of 13 identity-related indicators. Second, I use a series of linear regressions and a descriptive visualization to clarify the results of my CCA. Third, I fit two multinomial logistic regressions that demonstrate how social attributes—and specifically, religion and ethnicity—impose constraints on the latent schemes that second-generation Germans follow to organize their ethnocultural "identities."
