ABSTRACT Recurrent xenophobic violence in South Africa highlights the strong undercurrent of popular opinion opposition to international immigrants. This article examines public attitudes towards the international immigrant community in South Africa and the factors influencing those attitudes. The author uses public opinion data from the 2014 South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS). The article will show that there is an asymmetry in the processes of opinion formation on immigrants in the country. The findings seemed to call into question the bipolarity of attitudinal measures used in public opinion studies of anti-immigrant sentiment. In addition, the author found that stereotypes about the harmful impact of international immigration were powerful drivers of public antipathy towards foreigners. Greater scrutiny of harmful stereotypes of foreign immigrants voiced by the media, politicians and national leaders is therefore needed.

谁欢迎谁不欢迎？南非反移民情绪的态度分析

摘要 南非反复发生的仇外暴力事件凸显了民众反对国际移民的强烈暗流。本文考察了公众对南非国际移民社区的态度以及影响这些态度的因素。作者使用了 2014 年南非社会态度调查 (SASAS) 的民意数据。本文将表明，在该国对移民的意见形成过程中存在不对称性。调查结果似乎对反移民情绪的舆论研究中使用的态度措施的两极性提出了质疑。此外，作者发现，关于国际移民有害影响的刻板印象是公众对外国人反感的强大驱动力。
