ABSTRACT Predictors of perceived population size and perceived right to reside in the UK were tested for immigrants to Britain. Two studies explored psychological responses of British respondents to immigration to the UK. A questionnaire study examined responses towards migrants living in the UK from India, Poland and Syria (Study 1, N = 136). In this study, perceived intergroup similarity and intergroup threat predicted intergroup affect, which in turn predicted estimates of the migrant group size and the perceived right of the migrants to reside in the UK. Study 2 (N = 126) was an experiment which manipulated similarity and threat, and elicited responses towards a fictional migrant group, to get a better handle on the causal direction of effects observed in Study 1. Taken together, the studies showed that perceived population size and perceived right to reside in Britain were predicted by intergroup similarity, threat and affect.

“船满了！”：预测的移民群体规模和感知的移民居留权的预测者（“¡Barcoestálleno！”：预测者，移民者和移民者的预测）

摘要对移民在英国的感知人口规模和居住权的预测因素进行了测试。两项研究探讨了英国受访者对移民英国的心理反应。一项问卷调查研究调查了印度，波兰和叙利亚对居住在英国的移民的反应（研究1，N = 136）。在这项研究中，感知到的群体间的相似性和群体间的威胁预测了群体间的影响，从而反过来预测了移民群体规模的估计值以及移民在英国居住的感知权利。研究2（N = 126）是一项实验，该实验操纵相似性和威胁，并引发对虚构移民群体的反应，以便更好地处理研究1中观察到的影响的因果关系。
