Identity development is associated with positive functioning in youth. For Muslim-American adolescents who have to navigate the heated sociopolitical context of the U.S., positive identity development may be particularly important. However, past research has ignored the dynamic and significant role of collective identity among this cultural group. The present study examined the collective identity of Muslim-Adolescents, using the multidimensional cluster analysis statistical technique. Moreover, the demographic makeup of the resulting identity clusters were examined. The role of various factors that can support or hinder Muslim adolescents' identity development were also examined, such as mothers' promotion of adolescents' volitional functioning, psychologically controlling behaviors, cultural socializations practices, psychological well-being, civic engagement and problem behaviors. The sample comprised one-hundred fifty Muslim adolescents recruited from Muslim private schools, public schools, mosques, and community organizations throughout Maryland. The cluster analysis technique revealed six identity styles: (1) High-Muslim and Undifferentiated-American (n = 38), (2) Moderate-Muslim and High-American (n = 28), (3) High Muslim and High-American (n = 53), (4) Moderate-Muslim and Undifferentiated-American (n = 16), (5) High-Muslim and Low-American (n = 8), (6) Low-Muslim and Undifferentiated-American (n =7). Follow-up analyses indicated that the Moderate-Muslim/Undifferentiated-American cluster reported less autonomy-supportive and more controlling parenting, and reported poorer well-being than the other clusters. There were no significant differences between the clusters on cultural socialization practices, problem behaviors, and civic engagement. Findings highlighted the importance of simultaneously assessing Muslim and American components of collective identity, as well as the differential role of parenting and psychological well-being based in adolescents' collective identity profiles. Limitations and implications of the present study were discussed.
