The present study examined the effect of group labels on helping behavioral intentions toward displaced people in Germany. Specifically, it examined the impact of different labels evoking either voluntary or forced migration (i.e., migrants, economic migrants, and refugees) on different helping orientations (e.g., dependency vs. autonomy‐oriented helping) and if these effects occur via perceived intergroup threat, warmth and competence stereotypes. Participants (N = 304) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions (refugee vs. migrant vs. economic migrant) and read fabricated case vignettes, featuring a displaced person who arrived in Germany recently. Results showed that, as predicted, the use of different group labels affected the helping orientations of host society members, as well as, the stereotypes they held. No significant label effects were found for intergroup threat. While the label refugee evoked dependency‐oriented helping intentions and triggered paternalistic stereotypes, the label economic migrants increased opposition to help, decreased help affirmation and evoked envious stereotypes. Practical implications to strengthen peaceful intergroup relations between host society members and newcomers are discussed.

好难民，坏移民？面向德国境内的难民，移民和经济移民的团体间帮助介绍

本研究研究了团体标签对帮助德国流离失所者的行为意图的影响。具体而言，它研究了不同标签引起的自愿或强迫迁移（即移民，经济移民和难民）对不同帮助方向（例如，依赖性与自主性帮助）的影响，以及这些影响是否通过感知到的群体间威胁发生，热情和能力定型观念。参加人数 = 304）被随机分配到三种情况（难民与移民与经济移民）中的一种，并阅读伪造的案例短片，其中有一名最近抵达德国的流离失所者。结果表明，正如预期的那样，使用不同的小组标签会影响东道国社会成员的帮助方向以及他们持有的刻板印象。没有发现组间威胁的显着标签效应。难民一词唤起了以依赖为导向的帮助意图并引发了家长式的刻板印象，而经济移民一词则增加了对帮助的反对，减少了对帮助的肯定，并引起了嫉妒的刻板印象。讨论了加强东道国社会成员与新移民之间和平的集团间关系的实际意义。
