Abstract [en]

Exploring diverse social capital’s influence on identity in resettled refugees, this study uses Sweden as a case study, collecting qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with seven resettled refugees. Resettlement; social capital divided into bonding, bridging and linking social capital; and identity constitute the theoretical framework underlying the study. Findings include mixed feelings about identity among the participants; Participants who identified with a national identity had a strong bridging capital, whereas participants who identified with bridging social capital had mixed feelings about identity. The study aims to contribute to existing literature by giving insight about resettled refugee’s social capital and identity
