ABSTRACT

Do multicultural policies affect natives’ attitudes toward immigrants? I investigate whether cross-country differences and within-country changes in multicultural policies are associated with natives’ negative attitudes toward immigrants and to whom the effects are noticeable. The results of multilevel longitudinal analysis indicate that neither cross-country differences nor within-country changes in multicultural policies are directly relevant to natives’ negative attitudes toward immigrants. However, cross-country differences in multicultural policies are negatively associated with the gap in negative attitudes between natives on the political right and left, while within-country changes in multicultural policies are positively associated with negative attitudes among socioeconomically vulnerable people.

摘要

多元文化政策是否会影响当地人对移民的态度？我调查了跨国文化政策中的国家差异和国家内部变化是否与当地人对移民的消极态度相关联，并且这种影响是否明显。多层次纵向分析的结果表明，多元文化政策的跨国差异和国家内部变化均与当地人对移民的消极态度没有直接关系。但是，多元文化政策的跨国差异与左右政治上的土著人之间的消极态度之间存在负相关，而多元文化政策的国内变化与社会经济脆弱人群之间的消极态度之间存在正相关。
