520 |a This study primarily aimed to determine as to whether conversion styles (generative, adoptive, spontaneous), derived from Berzonsky’s Identity Styles are associated with two types of social integration (organic, mechanical). A comparison was also made between Muslim reverts and converts to other affiliations in terms of conversion styles. The sample consisted of 62 African Muslim reverts residing in Uganda from ages 17 to 35 recruited through snowball sampling. In addition to one sample t-test to compare converts, pearsons’ correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were conducted to examine relations between variables of interest. Consistent with hypotheses, Muslim converts with higher scores in adoptive and generative styles are more likely to achieve mechanical and organic integration. In contrast spontaneous style is negatively correlated to mechanical solidarity. The hypothesis with respect to negative association between spontaneous style and organic integration, however, was not confirmed. The finding also indicated converts to various religions differ in terms of conversion styles. In conclusion, results suggest that higher levels of organic integration can be achieved owing to stronger perceived intimacy and awareness of social expectations, while higher commitment is associated with higher level of mechanical integration.
