DOCTORAL RESEARCH

​

"Uncovering new paradigms of role modeling: the case of Aliyah: An exploration of significant others as agents of socialization on the ideological decision to migrate to Israel."

​

In this doctoral research the phenomenon of role modeling is explored through the study of significant others as role models in life transformative decisions, in this instance, the case of "ideological migration" to Israel. Although ideology is not the only motivation bringing immigrants to Israel, it has traditionally been seen as central to the concept of Jewish migration to Israel. The act of aliyah and the Zionist beliefs that motivate it can therefore be seen as one of many competing value systems available to young Diaspora Jews in the marketplace of ideas. This study is grounded in the assumption that young people are socialized through interaction with significant others as role models, into competing value systems, each existing as a plausibility structure. The institutions in the life of an adolescent, such as family, school, or youth movement, provide plausibility structures (Berger 1967, 1969) that in certain cases may be strong enough to instill their values in the young adult. Significant others functioning as role models provide the interface between young adults and these belief systems. This research explores the roles that models play in the ideological decision of an adult to immigrate to Israel.
