Abstract

What are the methods of social identity analysis in terms of the radicalization risk assessment model? The answer to this question determines the aim of the proposed brief review. On the one hand, the model of assessing the risk of radicalization in adolescence and youth is based on the ideas of the social identity approach as well as on the uncertainty-identity model. As a result, the predominant interest is directed towards the methods developed in the field of social identity approach. On the other hand, it seems possible to expand the scope of analysis, including the tools used in other theoretical frameworks. By integrating these two lines of research, three main types of social identity analysis tools (associative technique tools, scales, and social identity mapping) are identified and critically analyzed. Conclusions are made about the advantages of each social identity measurement tool. In addition, it is emphasized that within the framework of the risk assessment model, it would be most appropriate to develop a complex methodological strategy, including a modified version of the Twenty Statements Test , followed by social identity mapping.
