Abstract
ABSTRACT The current pilot study investigated intensity, regulation, and content of pride experiences in second-generation immigrant adolescents of Turkish origin and their German peers using an experimental narrative paradigm. After recounting an autobiographical pride situation, adolescents rated intensity and regulation (suppression and acceptance) of pride. The autobiographical reports were analysed with regard to triggers, responses, and perceived sources of evaluation. No significant differences occurred in the intensity and regulation of pride, nor in its triggers or responses. Yet, Turkish adolescents reported more external sources of evaluation in pride experiences, in particular family members and authorities, than did German adolescents. Bearing in mind the relatively small sample sizes, these results point to similarities in pride intensity and expression between adolescents with a Turkish parental background and German adolescents, yet indicating differences in cognitive aspects and the socially engaged versus disengaged nature of experienced pride.
