This article examines the role of dual identity in political radicalism among migrants. Dual identity is defined as identification with both one's ethnocultural minority in-group and one's society of residence. We employed a longitudinal research design using members of the two largest migrant groups in Germany (Turkish migrants and Russian migrants) as participants. We reasoned that when dual identity is burdened with incompatibility between component identifications, it may foster controversial or even destructive forms of political mobilization, such as radicalism. Multiple regression analysis controlling for other influences confirmed the hypothesized moderated relationship between dual identification and sympathy for radical action. When accompanied by high, as opposed to low, perceived identity incompatibility, dual identification predicted increases in sympathy for radical action among both Turkish migrants and Russian migrants. The implications for public life in ethnically and culturally heterogeneous societies are discussed.
本文探讨了双重身份在移民政治激进化中的作用。双重身份被定义为对自己所属的族群和居住社会的认同。我们采用纵向研究设计，以德国最大的两个移民群体（土耳其移民和俄罗斯移民）的成员为参与者。我们的理由是，当双重身份承载着组成认同之间的不兼容时，它可能会促进有争议甚至具有破坏性的政治动员形式，例如激进主义。控制其他影响因素的多元回归分析证实了双重身份认同与激进行动同情之间假设的调节关系。当伴随着高而不是低的感知身份不兼容时，双重身份认同预测土耳其移民和俄罗斯移民对激进行动的同情都会增加。最后讨论了这对种族和文化多元化社会中的公共生活的影响。
