Studies exploring the integration of European immigrants tend to find cultural gaps between Muslim children and their peers. While some scholars argue that parent-to-child transmission is a key mechanism underlying this pattern, others privilege extrafamilial explanations by pointing to differences in cultural values within Muslim households. In the present study, I argue that these mixed results stem from a tendency in the literature to analyze distinct components of personal culture in isolation from cognate dimensions. To address this shortcoming, I use multigroup latent class models to explore how a wide range of attitudes (tapping ethnocultural identity, gender norms, sexual liberalism, and perspectives on integration) are clustered together in disparate regions of the belief space, marking distinct cultural identities. Then, I fit a series of logistic regressions to map how these cultural identities are distributed among immigrant-origin samples in four European countries and transmitted across generational lines. Ultimately, I arrive at the following conclusion: while Muslim youth stand out from their peers vis-à-vis their cultural identity profiles, there is little evidence to suggest that this pattern is decisively shaped by parent-to-child transmission.

伊斯兰教与四个欧洲国家的文化认同传播


探索欧洲移民融入的研究往往会发现穆斯林儿童与同龄人之间存在文化差异。虽然一些学者认为父母与孩子的传播是这种模式背后的关键机制，但其他人则通过指出穆斯林家庭内部文化价值观的差异来偏爱家庭外的解释。在本研究中，我认为这些混合结果源于文献中的一种倾向，即孤立地分析个人文化的不同组成部分。为了解决这一缺点，我使用多组潜在阶级模型来探索广泛的态度（利用民族文化身份、性别规范、性自由主义和融合观点）如何聚集在信仰空间的不同区域，标志着不同的文化身份。然后，我拟合了一系列 logistic 回归，以绘制这些文化身份如何在四个欧洲国家的移民样本中分布，并在代际之间传递。最终，我得出以下结论：虽然穆斯林青年在他们的文化身份特征方面从同龄人中脱颖而出，但几乎没有证据表明这种模式是由父母传给孩子的决定性塑造的。
