Layering effects of religious and political nonaccommodation in predicting shared family identity

This study examined how religious and political nonaccommodation from a parent and grandparent are associated with shared family identity. Religious and political nonaccommodation were more consistently associated with shared family identity when participants were reporting on their parent's communication rather than their grandparent's communication. Additionally, receiving inappropriate religious self-disclosures and inappropriate political self-disclosures from a parent interacted to predict shared family identity. Receiving emphasis on divergent religious values and emphasis on divergent political values from a parent also interacted to predict shared family identity. Relational health may depend on adjustments to a constellation of group identities.
