A. Bizman et Y. Yinon, Perceptions of dual identity and separate groups among secular and religious Israeli Jews, J SOC PSYCH, 140(5), 2000, pp. 589-596
The authors examined the effects of perceptions of dual identity and separa
te groups on tendencies to handle intergroup conflict through problem solvi
ng and contention. Among secular Israeli Jews, regression analyses revealed
a significant interaction between perceptions of dual identity and percept
ions of separate groups: Only under high perception of dual identity was th
e perception of separate groups associated with contention. Among religious
Israeli Jews, problem solving and contention were unrelated to either dual
identity or to perceptions of separate groups. The results are discussed i
n terms of the common ingroup identity model (S. L. Gaertner, M. C. Rust, J
. F. Dovidio, B. A. Bachman, & P. A. Anastasio, 1994) and in the context of
the conflict between religious and secular Jews in Israel.
