The present research examines the relationship between national identity, perceived group threats, and immigration policy. Across two studies, we examine how patriotism (an arguably critical form of national identity) and nationalism (an ethnocentric and dominance‐oriented form of national identity) predict strong stances on immigration policy (Studies 1 and 2). Furthermore, does the inclusion of symbolic threat (Studies 1 and 2) and realistic threat (Study 2) decrease the relationship between different forms of national identity and immigration policy? One of the key findings across the two studies is that symbolic threat reduces the relationship between nationalism and immigration policy but not between patriotism and immigration policy. The findings extend previous research by providing evidence that symbolic threat (e.g., immigrants are changing what it means to be American) underpins the relationship between nationalism and immigration policy.

“威胁他人”：国民身份和群体威胁预测移民政策

本研究检查了国民身份，感知到的群体威胁和移民政策之间的关系。在两项研究中，我们研究了爱国主义（可以说是民族身份的重要形式）和民族主义（以人种为中心，以支配地位为主导的民族身份）如何预测移民政策的强硬立场（研究1和2）。此外，将象征性威胁（研究1和2）和现实威胁（研究2）包括在内，是否会减少不同形式的民族身份与移民政策之间的关系？两项研究的主要发现之一是，象征性威胁减少了民族主义与移民政策之间的关系，但没有减少爱国主义与移民政策之间的关系。这些发现通过提供具有象征意义的威胁（例如，
