Abstract

["\n\nObjective\nIn this article, we examine how religious accommodations for Muslim minorities impact subjective well‐being (SWB) among Christian and nonattendee respondents in Western European countries.\n\n\nMethods\nWe apply hierarchal linear modeling and fixed effects regressions on data drawn from the European Social Survey (2002–2008).\n\n\nResults\nWe find that religious accommodations at the country level are negatively associated with lower SWB among both Christian and nonattendee respondents. However, the effect is substantially greater for nonattendees.\n\n\nConclusion\nAlthough the threat and coalition theses are often argued as competing positions, we posit they may be complementary perspectives.\n\n", "Social Science Quarterly, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1552-1571, July 2020.
