As globalization advances, immigration has increasingly been contested. Psychological studies of immigration, which are frequently conducted in Western contexts, have established a link between attitudes toward immigrants and individual values. In two studies, the present research investigates this link between values and favorability toward immigrants in an Asian nation with a high proportion of immigrants, Singapore, and considers differences in cultural ideologies and multicultural acquisition, based on the assumption that cultural ideologies and multicultural acquisition share broader underlying motivations with self-transcendence (growth and anxiety-free) and conservation values (protection and anxiety-avoidance). In Study 1, the cultural ideologies of multiculturalism and color blindness, as reified in the Singapore context, explained how self-transcendence and conservation values predict willingness to interact with immigrants. Greater support for multiculturalism mediated the positive relationship between self-transcendence values and favorability toward immigrants. Lower support for color blindness mediated the negative relationship between conservation values and favorability toward immigrants. In Study 2, experimentally induced self-transcendence and conservation values interacted with multicultural acquisition to affect willingness to interact with immigrants. Self-transcendence increased favorability toward immigrants for people with greater multicultural acquisition. Conservation decreased favorability toward immigrants for people with less multicultural acquisition. This research has implications for demonstrating that the cultural context matters for addressing how and among whom to improve intercultural contact in diverse, globalized societies.

价值观预测与移民互动的意愿：文化意识形态和多元文化习得的作用

随着全球化的发展，移民问题日益激烈。移民心理学研究经常在西方背景下进行，建立了对移民的态度与个人价值观之间的联系。在两项研究中，本研究调查了在新加坡拥有大量移民的亚洲国家中，价值观和对移民的好感之间的这种联系，并基于文化意识形态和多元文化习俗共享的假设，考虑了文化意识形态和多元文化习得的差异具有自我超越（无增长和无焦虑）和保护价值（保护和避免焦虑）的更广泛的潜在动机。在研究1中，以新加坡为背景的多元文化主义和色盲文化思想，解释了自我超越和保护价值如何预测与移民互动的意愿。对多元文化主义的更多支持介导了自我超越价值与对移民的好感之间的积极关系。对色盲的较低支持介导了保护价值和对移民的好感之间的负相关关系。在研究2中，实验性诱导的自我超越和保守价值观与多元文化习俗相互作用，从而影响与移民互动的意愿。自我超越对于拥有更多多元文化习俗的人而言，增加了他们对移民的青睐。对于较少的多元文化习俗的人来说，保护减少了他们对移民的好感。
