摘要 我们的论文分析了土耳其移民及其在德国的后裔对于宗教葬礼重要性的态度。先前的研究提供了关于移民社区宗教信仰代际传递的相互竞争的假设，例如，由于同化而导致的宗教信仰下降与作为种族认同形成手段的宗教信仰的维持。然而，定量研究尚未考虑葬礼。我们的研究利用了世代和性别调查的数据；我们的样本包括大约 4000 名年龄在 18 岁至 81 岁之间的土耳其移民背景的人，其中大多数是穆斯林。我们将逻辑回归方法应用于对宗教葬礼重要性的态度。超过80%的受访者认为宗教葬礼很重要。对个人特征的检查揭示了受教育程度、伴侣出身和公民身份的差异。然而，总体而言，穆斯林葬礼传统在第一代和第二代中得到延续。
ABSTRACT Our paper analyses the attitudes of Turkish migrants and their descendants in Germany regarding the importance of a religious funeral ceremony. Previous research provides competing hypotheses on the intergenerational transmission of religiosity in migrant communities, such as, declines in religiosity due to assimilation versus maintenance of religiosity as a means to ethnic identity formation. Quantitative research however has not yet considered funerals. Our study utilises data from the Generations and Gender Survey; our sample comprises roughly 4000 people of Turkish migrant background aged 18–81, most of whom are Muslims. We apply logistic regression methods to attitudes regarding the importance of a religious funeral ceremony. More than 80 per cent of the respondents maintained that a religious funeral ceremony was important. Examination of individual characteristics revealed variation by education, partner's origin, and citizenship. Overall, however, Muslim funeral traditions are sustained across first- and second-generations.
