ABSTRACT Existing research posits that Muslims in the West tend to face more prejudice than other groups because they not only belong to ethnic outgroups but also religious and behavioral ones. Building on this literature, this study leverages the case of the Syrian refugee crisis to assess whether White Americans are less supportive of resettling Muslim refugees compared to Christian ones. I explore how different cable news outlets discussing refugees and experimentally test whether framing Syrian refugees as Christian or Muslim impacts the attitudes of regular viewers of cable news differently. Findings show a general preference for Christian compared to Muslim Syrian refugees. I find that conservative media emphasize threat pertaining to refugees more often than liberal media. Finally, I find that framing Syrian refugees as Muslim results in decreased support for refugee resettlement among Republicans and Independents who frequently watch Fox News but not among regular viewers of CNN or MSNBC.

陷害难民：宗教框架对美国游击队和有线电视新闻媒体消费者的影响

摘要 现有研究认为，西方穆斯林比其他群体更容易面临偏见，因为他们不仅属于种族外群体，而且还属于宗教和行为群体。在这些文献的基础上，本研究利用叙利亚难民危机的案例来评估与基督教难民相比，美国白人是否更不支持重新安置穆斯林难民。我探索了不同的有线新闻媒体如何讨论难民，并通过实验测试将叙利亚难民塑造成基督徒或穆斯林是否会以不同的方式影响有线新闻的普通观众的态度。调查结果显示，与穆斯林叙利亚难民相比，基督徒普遍偏爱基督徒。我发现保守媒体比自由媒体更强调与难民有关的威胁。最后，
