This study models cross-national attitudes towards immigrants in East and Southeast Asia as a signed and weighted bipartite network of countries and evaluative reactions to a variety of political issues, or determinants. This network is then projected into two one-mode networks, one of countries and one of determinants, and community detection methods are applied. The paper aims to fill two deficiencies in the current research on attitudes towards immigrants: 1) the lack of cross-national studies in Asia, a region where migration is growing, and 2) the tendency of researchers to treat determinants as uncorrelated, despite the interdependent nature of evaluative reactions. The results show that the nine countries in the sample are a cohesive clique, showing greater similarities than differences in the determinants of their attitudes. A blockmodeling approach was employed to identify eight determinants in attitudes towards immigrants, namely views on independence and social dependencies, group identities, absolute or relative moral orientation, attitudes towards democracy, science and technology, prejudice and stigma, and two determinants related to religion. However, the findings of this survey yielded some surprising results when compared with the literature review. First, education was not found to be a significant determinants of attitudes towards immigrants, despite its strong and consistent predictive power in European models. Second, prejudice appears to be mediated in part by religion, especially in religious identification and belief in God. Group identity and prejudice also appear to be related, though only weakly. Finally, anxiety appears in clusters related to social norms, suggesting that fears regarding immigrants relates closely to expectations of others’ behavior.

这项研究建立了对东亚和东南亚移民的跨国态度，将其作为一个经过签名和加权的国家两性网络以及对各种政治问题或决定因素的评价反应。然后将该网络投影到两个单模网络中，一个是国家，另一个是决定因素，并且应用了社区检测方法。该论文旨在弥补当前对移民态度的研究中的两个缺陷：1）在亚洲这个移民正在增长的地区，缺乏跨国研究； 2）尽管存在着一些不确定性，研究人员仍倾向于将决定因素视为不相关。评价反应相互依存的性质。结果表明，样本中的九个国家是一个凝聚力集团，其态度决定因素的相似之处大于差异。采取了模型化的方法来确定对移民态度的八个决定因素，即对独立性和社会依赖性的看法，群体身份，绝对或相对道德取向，对民主，科学和技术的态度，偏见和污名以及与宗教有关的两个决定因素。但是，与文献综述相比，该调查的结果产生了一些令人惊讶的结果。首先，尽管在欧洲模式中教育具有强大而一致的预测能力，但教育并未被视为对移民态度的重要决定因素。其次，偏见似乎部分地是由宗教引起的，尤其是在宗教认同和对上帝的信仰中。团体身份和偏见似乎也有关联，尽管只是微弱的关系。最后，
