BII-C moderated the relationship between discrimination and the degree to which participants attributed discrimination to societal factors. An experimental study with 165 first- and second-generation immigrants living in the United States found support for a moderated mediation model. harmony) between multiple cultural identities, is related to negative intergroup outcomes, we extend this research to examine how BII-C relates to social change actions that promote a more equitable society. While previous research has shown that BII-C, or perceived conflict (vs. We discuss the implications for conflict and solidarity within minority groups in the context of political developments in India, where there have been attempts to polarize intragroup divisions.īuilding on intersectional awareness literature, this paper examines how another individual difference regarding one’s perception of identity intersections - bicultural identity conflict (BII-C)- predicts immigrants’ interpretations of their social environment and general orientation to take action to support immigrants from one’s heritage group (GOA-I). Thematic analysis revealed that-even though ingroup cohesion (i.e., intragroup similarity) is often enhanced by external threat- people expressed awareness of intragroup differences in experiences of victimization in three distinct ways: highlighting relative privilege, engaging in competitive victimhood, or describing qualitative differences. We conducted individual interviews (N = 33) and focus groups (K = 12 N = 66) among Muslims and Dalits (lower‐caste Hindus). Integrating and expanding the research on intersectional consciousness and on collective victimhood, this article investigates perceived intragroup differences in experiences of victimization stemming from intersecting identities of gender and class among two disadvantaged groups in the understudied context of India.
Conversely, work on intersectional consciousness examines awareness of how multiple social identities intersect and create within‐group differences. This includes research on collective victimization, which assumes that violence impacts group members uniformly. Although our experiences are shaped by multiple social identities such as race, class, and gender, most research has focused on single‐identity groups (e.g., race).
