摘要 欧洲青年就读的课堂具有多元化的宗教信仰,宗教的重要性在不同的民族宗教群体中也有所不同。虽然宗教对于许多本土基督徒青年来说不再那么重要,但对于许多移民裔基督徒,尤其是穆斯林同龄人来说,宗教却很重要。考虑到宗教是青少年社会认同的一个来源,我们研究了宗教课堂的构成与青少年对宗教的重视程度之间的关系。最佳独特性理论提出了一种曲线关系,因为一个群体必须足够大才能满足归属感的需要,但又必须足够小才能满足差异化的需要。利用对来自四个欧洲国家的 15 岁青少年的大规模调查数据,我们发现这种倒 U 形关系适用于移民出身的穆斯林青年,但不适用于本土和移民出身的基督徒青年。相反,对于基督教青年来说,宗教在穆斯林同学比例较高的教室中更为重要,从而为源自威胁理论的论点提供了可信度。
ABSTRACT European youth attend classrooms that are religiously diverse, with the importance of religion differing between ethno-religious groups. While religion no longer matters much to many native-origin Christian youth, it is important to many of their immigrant-origin Christian and, especially, Muslim peers. Considering religion as a source of adolescents’ social identity, we examine how religious classroom composition relates to the importance adolescents attach to religion. Optimal Distinctiveness Theory suggests a curvilinear relation, because a group has to be large enough to satisfy the need of belonging but small enough to satisfy the need for differentiation. Using large-scale survey data for 15-year old adolescents from four European countries, we find that this inverted U-shaped relation holds for immigrant-origin Muslim but not for native- and immigrant-origin Christian youth. Instead, for Christian youth religion was more important in classrooms with higher shares of Muslim classmates, thus lending credence to arguments derived from threat theory.
