Social change is ubiquitous and is discussed in sociology under various keywords such as globalization, acceleration, individualization, or de-bounding. Modern everyday life therefore presents numerous challenges for biographical trajectories as well as the construction of identity and belonging to social groups. How individuals cope with this is a central question for social psychology, which plays an important role in understanding social transformation processes. To harness this potential, a critical and dynamic perspective is needed, one that is primarily based not on experimental but on qualitative research.
