Immigration attitudes are influenced by types of patriotism and the perceived threat that immigrants pose. Previous research indicated realistic and symbolic threat mediates the relationships between blind and constructive patriotism types and anti-immigration attitudes in different ways. In two studies, the purpose was to replicate the mediating role of realistic and symbolic threat for the relationship between patriotism types and anti-immigration attitudes, and to determine if inducing threat in constructive patriots would result in immigration attitudes like that of blind patriots. In both studies, hypotheses were confirmed. Blind patriotism predicts realistic threat, symbolic threat, and anti-immigration attitudes. Realistic and symbolic threats provided moderated mediation between blind patriotism and anti-immigration attitudes. Constructive patriotism negatively predicts anti-immigration attitudes, but realistic and symbolic threats provide complete mediation for this relationship. The introduction of threatening information on future demographic changes had no impact on the relationship between blind patriotism, realistic and symbolic threats, and anti-immigration attitude. However, the introduction of demographic threat modified the relationship for constructive patriots, leaving no predictive negative relationship with realistic threat, symbolic threat, or anti-immigration attitude. The findings are important for understanding ethnic threat and the motivations to oppose immigrants in a changing United States.

威胁对盲目和建设性爱国者和移民态度的影响

移民态度受到爱国主义类型和移民构成的感知威胁的影响。先前的研究表明，现实和象征性威胁以不同方式调节盲目和建设性爱国主义类型与反移民态度之间的关系。在两项研究中，目的是复制现实和象征性威胁对爱国主义类型和反移民态度之间关系的中介作用，并确定在建设性爱国者中诱导威胁是否会导致像盲目爱国者那样的移民态度。在这两项研究中，假设都得到了证实。盲目的爱国主义预示着现实的威胁、象征性的威胁和反移民的态度。现实的和象征性的威胁在盲目爱国主义和反移民态度之间提供了适度的调解。建设性的爱国主义消极地预测了反移民的态度，但现实和象征性的威胁为这种关系提供了完全的中介。引入关于未来人口变化的威胁信息对盲目爱国主义、现实和象征性威胁以及反移民态度之间的关系没有影响。然而，人口威胁的引入改变了建设性爱国者的关系，没有留下与现实威胁、象征性威胁或反移民态度的预测性负面关系。这些发现对于理解种族威胁和在不断变化的美国反对移民的动机很重要。引入有关未来人口变化的威胁信息对盲目爱国主义、现实和象征性威胁以及反移民态度之间的关系没有影响。然而，人口威胁的引入改变了建设性爱国者的关系，没有留下与现实威胁、象征性威胁或反移民态度的预测性负面关系。这些发现对于理解种族威胁和在不断变化的美国反对移民的动机很重要。引入关于未来人口变化的威胁信息对盲目爱国主义、现实和象征性威胁以及反移民态度之间的关系没有影响。然而，人口威胁的引入改变了建设性爱国者的关系，没有留下与现实威胁、象征性威胁或反移民态度的预测性负面关系。这些发现对于理解种族威胁和在不断变化的美国反对移民的动机很重要。与现实威胁、象征性威胁或反移民态度没有预测性的负面关系。这些发现对于理解种族威胁和在不断变化的美国反对移民的动机很重要。与现实威胁、象征性威胁或反移民态度没有预测性的负面关系。这些发现对于理解种族威胁和在不断变化的美国反对移民的动机很重要。
