DESCRIPTION:This talk will present findings from an ongoing research proj
 ect on why friendships between Muslim and non-Muslim adolescents are rel
 atively rare. The focus is on gender-specific processes of religious seg
 regation within friendship networks. A key question is whether religious
  segregation stems from Muslims' in-group bias or non-Muslims' reluctanc
 e to befriend Muslims. Building on research on interreligious romantic r
 elations\, we argue the answer is gender-specific: Muslim girls show str
 onger in-group bias\, while non-Muslims are more reluctant to befriend M
 uslim boys. In a first step\, stochastic actor-oriented models on large-
 scale German data reveal that Muslim girls indeed exhibit strong in-grou
 p bias but are not excluded. In contrast\, Muslim boys have a weak in-gr
 oup bias yet are less befriended by non-Muslims. In a second step\, we a
 im to explain gender differences in Muslim in-group bias by examining ge
 ndered endogamy norms. We test this using three pieces of evidence: (1) 
 whether Muslim girls' bias is stronger in cross-gender friendships\, (2)
  how the bias develops between ages 11 and 17\, and (3) by analyzing dir
 ect measures of endogamy norms from non-network data.
