This study examined the comparative roles of biculturalism, ego identity, and religious identity in the adaptation of Australian adolescent Muslims. A total of 504 high school Muslim students studying at high schools in metropolitan Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, took part in this study which required them to complete a self-report questionnaire. Analyses indicated that adolescent Muslims' achieved religious identity seems to play a more important role in shaping their psychological and socio-cultural adaptation compared to adolescents' achieved bicultural identity. Adolescents' achieved ego identity tended also to play a greater role in their psychological and socio-cultural adaptation than achieved bicultural identity. The relationships between the three identities and negative indicators of psychological adaptation were consistently indifferent. Based on these findings, we propose that the three identity-based forces-bicultural identity development, religious identity attainment, and ego identity formation-be amalgamated into one framework in order for researchers to more accurately examine the adaptation of Australian adolescent Muslims.
本研究探讨了双文化主义、自我认同和宗教认同在澳大利亚穆斯林青少年适应过程中的比较作用。共有504名在澳大利亚悉尼和墨尔本大都市高中就读的穆斯林学生参与了本研究，该研究要求他们完成一份自我报告问卷。分析表明，与青少年已获得的双文化身份相比，青少年穆斯林已获得的宗教身份在塑造其心理和社会文化适应方面似乎发挥着更重要的作用。青少年已获得的自我认同在其心理和社会文化适应中也往往比已获得的双文化身份发挥更大的作用。这三种身份与心理适应负面指标之间的关系始终不显著。基于这些发现，我们建议将基于三种身份的力量——双文化身份发展、宗教身份获得和自我身份形成——整合到一个框架中，以便研究人员更准确地考察澳大利亚穆斯林青少年的适应情况。
