“…With respect to these main ideological orientations, the French diversity ideology, coined Republican Universalism , on the whole, promotes an “identity-blind” approach as it values the transcendence of group affiliations for the benefit of a cohesive citizenship system. However, it appears to be endowed with a dual and antagonist ideological nucleus ( Kamiejski et al, 2012 ; Guimond et al, 2014 ; Badea et al, 2015 ). Its first nucleus component is strongly assimilationist ( Maisonneuve and Testé, 2007 ; Guimond et al, 2010 ; Sabatier et al, 2016 ).…”

“…These parallelisms reveal that the universalist component is more equality oriented than the assimilationist component. Therefore, it is expected to produce more favorable outcomes on intergroup relations than the assimilationist component ( Badea et al, 2015 ). Yet, it should be noted that neither colorblindness nor multiculturalism are perceived as the prevalent cultural norms of diversity in France ( Anier et al, 2019 ).…”

This theoretical paper examines the context-sensitivity of the impact of cultural norms on prejudice regulation. Granting the importance of understanding intergroup dynamics in cultural-ecological contexts, we focus on the peculiarities of the French diversity approach. Indeed, the major cultural norm, the Laïcité (i.e., French secularism) is declined today in two main variants: The Historic Laïcité, a longstanding egalitarian norm coexisting with its amended form: The New Laïcité, an assimilationist norm. In fact, these co-encapsulated Laïcité variants constitute a fruitful ground to cast light on the processes underlying prejudice regulation. Indeed, it is documented that the assimilationist New Laïcité is linked to higher levels of prejudice as compared to the egalitarian Historic Laïcité. To this day, research mainly explored interindividual determinants of Laïcité endorsements and specified how these endorsements shape prejudice. Crucially, this “indirect-endorsement path” does not account for the more straightforward causal relationship between Laïcité and prejudice. Moreover, recent experimental evidence suggests that the normative salience of both Laïcité norms shape intergroup attitudes beyond personal endorsement. Therefore, in this contribution, we complement previous work by investigating the possible socio-cognitive processes driving this “direct-contextual path.” In doing so, we seek to bridge the gap of causality by investigating how the Laïcité norms can set the stage for specific regulatory strategies. Our reasoning derives from an application of the Justification-Suppression Model bolstered by classical work on mental control, modern racism and diversity ideology. From this, we sketch out the operative functioning of two distinct regulation processes: (a) one that prevents prejudicial attitudes but which can have unexpected consequences on stereotyping within the Historic Laïcité context (i.e., suppression) and (b) one that helps realize prejudice within the New Laïcité context (i.e., justification). From this analysis, we discuss the consequences for intergroup relations within and beyond the French context. In particular, we outline the importance of an adequate framing of egalitarian ideologies so that they achieve their goal to foster harmonious intergroup relations.

“…Drawing on Social Identity Theory (Tajfel and Turner, ) and ample empirical evidence found in its support (e.g. Badea et al., ; Verkuyten and Reijerse, ) two models have evolved to address the association between discrimination, and ethnic, as well as national identification among disadvantaged minorities and immigrant groups. Both models rely on the implications of impermeable group boundaries for individuals’ identity management strategies.…”

Emotional Integration across Immigrant Generations in Baden‐Württemberg, Germany: the Role of Discrimination

Immigrants’ integration is a multi‐faceted process, involving structural, cultural, social, and emotional dimensions. This study focuses on the emotional dimension of integration, investigating immigrants’ emotional attachments to their national origin and their host country. Specifically, we ask what role perceived discrimination plays in shaping identification preferences among immigrants and immigrant descendants in Germany. The contribution of this study is twofold: First, we present results for three generations of post‐WWII labour migrants of Turkish and Italian descent. Second, we estimate the consequences of perceived individual discrimination for national and ethnic identification separately. The findings indicate that while discrimination is not related to ethnic identification, it is negatively correlated with national identification. Regarding future challenges, we believe that our findings suggest that the German society can come closer to achieving integration of migrants by reducing perceptions of rejection by the immigrant population, or better yet, fighting off discrimination against immigrant minorities.

“…Sachdev and Bourhis (1991) also showed that numerical and social statuses can be independent or correlated depending on the context of intergroup relations. In particular, in the French context marked by immigration, numerical minority groups often have a lower social status (Badea, Er‐Rafiy, Chekroun, Légal, & Gosling, 2015; Badea, Iyer, & Aebischer, 2018). For example, children with high social status (often corresponding to numerically majority status) show a strong in‐group preference.…”

We examined the differences between majority and minority children (i.e., group membership) on racial categorization and perceived cultural distance, among 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children, in low diversified schools. We used a spontaneous social categorization task using pictures of children from three different racial groups broadly represented in France (Europeans, Black‐, and North‐Africans), and an evaluation of the perceived cultural distance between participants' in‐group and the racial group represented in the picture, adapted to children and based on three factors (language, eating habits, and music). Results revealed an effect of age on racial categorization: the older the children, the more successful they are in this task. They showed a significant effect of the racial group represented in the photos on perceived cultural distance: members of minority groups (i.e., Black‐ and North‐Africans) were evaluated as more different compared to those of the majority group on each of the factors. Finally, we got an interaction between participants' in‐group and the racial group represented in the pictures, for the language factor: members of the majority group perceived as more different photographs representing minorities peers than those representing majority peers, while participants belonging to minority groups perceived no differences between photographs, according to the racial criteria.
