Abstract
Conceptualized the ethnic subidentity as an area of identity represented by 7 ethnic stereotypes that included "me" for self-reference. 745 religiously observant, traditionalist, and nonobservant 11th graders in Jewish Israeli schools rated the concepts on semantic differentials. The characterization of concepts and simplex analysis of semantic space showed that the ethnic field is divided into an Israeli subarea that is secular and Western in its orientation and a Jewish subarea that is religious and Oriental (Levantine, Semitic). The nonobservant preferrred the Israeli subarea and identified with it. The observant held both subareas in equal esteem, but identified with the Jewish ones. Traditionalists occupied intermediate ground, but tended to be closer to the nonobservant. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
