Using an exploratory mixed-methods approach, we examined thoughts concerning refugees reported by participants from a non-Western country, Uganda, and the United Kingdom (total N = 113). We explored whether, due to various sociocultural, political and geographic differences, critical features of refugee migration (e.g., migration forcedness and migration-related perils) would be viewed differently by Ugandan and UK participants. An inductive qualitative content analysis of responses in an online survey yielded 11 categories with 40 subcategories revealing several similarities between Ugandan and UK participants. For instance, similar proportions of participants from both countries acknowledged refugees' suffering before their migration and the forced nature of refugees' migration. However, we also found that more British than Ugandan participants referred to perils refugees suffer during their journeys, possibly resulting from differences in refugees' migration routes (e.g., crossing other countries, travelling by dilapidated boats, migration duration). Furthermore, Ugandan but not British participants took pride in international praise their country received for its forthcoming treatment of refugees. There were no differences regarding the extent to which Ugandan and British individuals exhibited prejudice towards refugees or experienced threats from refugees. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings for refugee integration.

乌干达和英国个人对本国难民的看法：探索性混合方法比较

使用探索性混合方法，我们检查了来自非西方国家乌干达和英国（总N  = 113）的参与者报告的关于难民的想法。我们探讨了由于各种社会文化、政治和地理差异，乌干达和英国的参与者是否会以不同的方式看待难民迁移的关键特征（例如，迁移强迫性和与迁移相关的危险）。对在线调查中回复的归纳定性内容分析产生了 11 个类别和 40 个子类别，揭示了乌干达和英国参与者之间的一些相似之处。例如，来自两国的参与者比例相似，他们承认难民在迁移前遭受的痛苦和被迫难民迁移的性质。然而，我们也发现，更多的英国参与者提到难民在旅途中遭受的危险，这可能是由于难民迁移路线的差异（例如，穿越其他国家、乘坐破旧船只旅行、迁移时间）。此外，乌干达而非英国的参与者为他们的国家即将接受的难民待遇而获得国际赞誉感到自豪。乌干达人和英国人对难民表现出偏见或遭受难民威胁的程度没有差异。我们讨论了我们的研究结果对难民融合的理论和实践意义。
