Support for right-wing ideology is on the rise in Finland and has been for the past decade. Using the intergroup threat theory, this study investigates the extent to which support for right-wing ideology in Finland is explained by the perception of threat from immigrants. According to the intergroup threat theory, immigrants can be perceived as a realistic threat and a symbolic threat. Another aim of this study is to understand how differently the types of threats explain support for right-wing ideology in Finland. With a sample of 604 participants, results showed that while controlling for age, gender, education and religiosity, perceived threat was a significant predictor of support for right-wing ideology. However, when considered individually without the effect of other factors, it was revealed that symbolic threat was a stronger predictor of support for right-wing ideology in Finland when compared to realistic threat.
